Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE: Athletics ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/A558F616-50DB-4D78-BEDD-FF91AE11DE63.jpeg) 20 April 2026 In our new PE topic, we are focusing on skills that we need in Athletics. We started by focusing on our posture, marching to Grand Old Duke of York whilst balancing a beanbag on our head. Then, we focused on following a leader in partners. In groups, we worked in stations. One station allowed us to practise our posture whilst balancing a beanbag on our head whilst moving between two hoops. The second station allowed us to practise rolling a quoit from one cone to another. The third station allowed us to practise both hopscotch and following a leader. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/A558F616-50DB-4D78-BEDD-FF91AE11DE63.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/85AEFDB5-6DD6-4377-9B3F-97F01BF29A71.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-17-friday-celebration-worship) Previous ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-17-friday-celebration-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-FC5B3EB2-3618-48E0-8B8A-2AD95EF215FB.png)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-whole-school-worship-earth-day-2026-our-power-our-planet) Next ### [Whole School Worship- Earth Day 2026: Our Power, Our Planet](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-21-whole-school-worship-earth-day-2026-our-power-our-planet) ### 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/)
