We began by modeling and practising how to send and receive a ball using both a one-handed pass and a bounce pass. To perform these successfully, we followed specific techniques. When receiving, we kept our eyes on the ball and held our hands in a "W" shape to safely bring the ball in. In groups of 4 or 5, we stood in a semi-circle and practiced "Pepper Pot". One child acted as the leader, passing to each classmate in turn, who then passed the ball back. We rotated roles so everyone had a chance to practice both one-handed and bounce passes. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-FCE13AD2-1A8A-496A-A79B-2D3BBAA2D9C7.png) [Year 3](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [P.E](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3109.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-23-year-5-english) Previous ### [Year 5 - English](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-23-year-5-english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-2989D758-DA8D-40EF-864E-404D39D14611.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-25-year-3-online-safety-protecting-yourself-from-hackers) Next ### [Year 3- Online Safety- Protecting yourself from hackers](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-02-25-year-3-online-safety-protecting-yourself-from-hackers) ### 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/)
