Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE: Underarm throwing and side galloping ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/E08FA173-6C30-438D-84B4-0105EF8541FF.jpeg) 3 November 2025 In our PE lesson today we focused on underarm throwing and side galloping. The children really tried to demonstrate an underarm throw with their opposite leg forward and aiming towards their target. They enjoyed trying to throw beanbags into hoops, catching with each other and racing each other using their side galloping.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/E08FA173-6C30-438D-84B4-0105EF8541FF.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8268.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-30-half-term-netball-fitness-camp) Previous ### [Half Term Netball & Fitness Camp ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-10-30-half-term-netball-fitness-camp) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/449F1893-390D-48FF-9CF3-47F07CE7EC78.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-04-reception-re-thanking-god-harvest) Next ### [Reception- RE- Thanking God, Harvest](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-04-reception-re-thanking-god-harvest) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
