Everyone welcome! # Year 3 - PE: Throwing and Catching ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_3482.png) 24 September 2026 This week in PE, the Year 3 class were set some skill challenges to demonstrate their level of hand-eye coordination. Our first game was called Sevens. In this game the children completed seven throwing and catching challenges, such as clapping, spinning, or touching body parts between catches. We also played Fists, a game in which children had to pass a ball around the circle catching it between their fists. ![](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_3482.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_4910.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-23-year-5-french) Previous ### [Year 5 - French](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-23-year-5-french) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4432(1).jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-25-year-2-maths-times-table-rockstars) Next ### [Year 2 Maths- Times Table Rockstars ](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-25-year-2-maths-times-table-rockstars) ### 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/)
