Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE: Overarm Throwing ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/32D2AEFE-0FEB-4990-8C9A-74B50CBFD41F.jpeg) 15 June 2026 Year 1 have been practising their Overarm throwing skills. Today, we have 3 different types of stations. The first challenge was for Year 1 to throw a beanbag onto a shape. The shapes could either score them 2,5 or 10 points. This also helped us to count in our times tables. The second challenge was to throw three quoits into three hoops that were placed at different distances. This was tricky as the quoits can roll away so Year 1 had to use the correct amount of power in their throw. The final challenge was passing to each other, alternating between overarm and underarm throwing.![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/32D2AEFE-0FEB-4990-8C9A-74B50CBFD41F.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_4297.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-12-year-5-chicks) Previous ### [Year 5 - Chicks](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-12-year-5-chicks) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/unnamed_(14).jpg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-reception-muddy-monday) Next ### [Reception: Muddy Monday](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-06-16-reception-muddy-monday) ### 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/)
