DPSSA Netball Final Heats Night
So Team B finished the final round of the heats in style with a 5-0 and 10-0 win. They worked super hard to play the ball forward and keep going despite their challenges. Fingers crossed that we get to attend finals night next week and showcase their talents. Super proud!
Year 6 - Cricket Competition
Today, 8 boys from year 6 represented the school in a cricket competition. Unfortunately, they didn’t qualify from their group but they have learnt some valuable lessons leading into the Darwen schools competition they will be taking part in, in just a couple of weeks. Well done boys! It was great to see you happy to take feedback on board and play with such enthusiasm.
DPSSA NETBALL ROUND 3
Another great evening at the Darwen Primary Netball League with Team B coming away with another two solid wins 12-0 and 18-1. Great performances, super team spirit and sportsmanship. Now for a well earned rest before we go again after half term. Well done everyone! Thank you to Mrs Gardner for her amazing umpiring and coaching and Miss Kachwalla for supporting the team.
Year 4/5 Cricket Competition
Huge well done to our mixed Year 4 & 5 cricket team! They played brilliantly at Darwen Cricket Club, showing great teamwork and determination. The team secured one impressive win and narrowly lost three matches — one by just a single run! A fantastic effort all round – well done, team!
BwD Schools Bee Stinger Netball Champions
After taking part in the heats a few weeks ago Team B played in the Blackburn with Darwen Bee Stinger Netball finals tonight at St Bedes. The quality of play was outstanding and every single player fought for every ball and really performed to the highest level. Five back to back wins : 6-0, 8-1, 9-0, 5-2 and 9-0 saw them crowned BwD champions for the second consecutive year, which is incredible and they will now go on to represent the Borough at the Lancashire Championships!

Year 4/5 Multi- Skills PE in the Sun
In our PE session today we mixed with Year 5 so that half of us could trial for the cricket team whilst the rest tackled various multi skill challenges. The children worked so well in mixed teams and actively encouraged each other to strive for the best in true St Barnabas the Encourager style.
DPSSA Netball Round 1
What a wonderful start to the DPSSA Netball league we have had. This evening was round one of the games. Team B played superbly and worked so hard to drive the ball forward, the shooting was spot on and we really gelled as a team. We came away with three amazing wins 16-0, 15-0 and 7-2. Super proud of all our team!
Year 4 PE - Athletics - Throwing and Sprinting
PE this week focused on sprinting and throwing. We looked at developing a throw using a sling action, discussing the differences to the push and pull throw. We worked on zones to see how far the children could reach and discussed how you can use your body to generate force when throwing. Finally, we finished off with sprint races working on sprint starts and fast finishes.
Year 4 Tennis Competition
A huge well done to Carter, Eliza, Ivy and Ted who competed in a tennis competition at Blackburn Northern Tennis Club this afternoon. This was the very first time the children had played on a tennis court and they approached each game with lots of enthusiasm. We are so proud of them all and they tried their very best in each game. They represented our school with pride and positivity and came 3rd overall. Well done! A huge thank you to Mrs Wilkinson for supporting and umpiring and to the parents who collected.
Darwen Primary Schools Cross Country
This evening, Team B took part in the final night of the DPSSA Cross country at Witton park. This time it involved all of our four squads Y3/4 Girls, Y3/4 Boys, Y5/6 Girls and Y5/6Boys. We had some super impressive finish places for all squads and a Y3/4 Individual Gold for Emily and Y3/4 Individual Silver for Carter. It was a super tough course in the heat but everyone worked so hard and pushed themselves to their limit. Big shout out to all of our wonderful supporters too.
