Year 4 - PE: Throwing Skills
In PE, our Year 4s were consolidating the throwing skills they practised last week by throwing through various targets. They chose the best throws for passing forward through a target over short and long distances, taking care of position and footwork.
Brilliant Bowling!
Mrs Ham had the privilege of taking a group of boys to a special SEND bowling competition at Blackburn Bowling this morning. She was so proud of the way they behaved and represented our school. They all did so brilliantly and got a medal each. One boy said he had never won a medal before so was extremely proud. Well done boys!
Year 3- Gymnastics- Travelling with control on four points.
Today in P.E. the children began their gymnastics unit. They concentrated on moving with precision and balance. Additionally, our character value for the day was trust. We had a conversation about the significance of trust and how crucial it is. The activity involved partnering and relying on each other to enhance our gymnastic abilities. The task was to work closely with a partner, demonstrating trust by accepting and appreciating their constructive feedback to improve their skills. The children focused on travelling using their hands and feet. They practised placing their hands on the floor with flat palms and thumbs pointing forward.
Year 1- Exploring the Outdoor Gym
Year 1 absolutely loved exploring the outdoor gym this afternoon and they made sure that they were using the equipment safely and sensibly at all times. They are really looking forward to starting to make use of it during their lunchtimes. Well done Year 1!

Year 4 G & T Key Steps Gymnastics Club
This evening we saw the launch of our Year 4 Gifted and Talented Key Steps Gymnastics Club. The children have been working extremely hard to develop both their floor and body management sequences by working on various applications. We hope that every week we can learn something new and push ourself to be our Barney’s best!
Year 2- New Outdoor Gym!
This afternoon, we were excited to explore our new outdoor gym. There are lots of machines that we needed to learn how to use. The children loved learning how to use each machine and learning new exercises. We will definitely be visiting our outdoor gym in future P.E sessions, lunch time and golden time.
Playtime provision fun in Year 4
How very lucky we are at St Barnabas to have access to such amazing provision at playtimes. Today Year 4 enjoyed moving between the new outdoor gym and the MUGA. It was fantastic to see the children building towards the 60 minute daily offer and being physically active and all with beaming smiles on their faces.
Year 4 - Outdoor Gym
The excitement on their faces! Year 4 class thoroughly enjoyed exploring the new outdoor gym equipment. We talked about how to get on and off the equipment safely and letting others have a turn and then they were off. I think it’s going to be well used.
Reception PE
During our PE session Reception focused on ‘jumping’ and each child took part in 5 circuits focusing on the technique of jumping. It was amazing to see the children encourage one another as they pushed themselves out of their comfort zones. Well done Reception!
Year 5 - Tactical Play
During our PE lesson, Year 5 have been building on their knowledge and understanding of invasion games. This week the children were learning about tactical work within any chosen game. They took part in ball games to gain a clearer understanding of time and space. The children will then apply their knowledge and understanding to racket and other invasion games.
Year 4 - Visit to the Rose Garden
Year 4 class had a great time in the Rose Garden. They chose their top 3 card designs and then we all sang some of our favourite carols. Merry Christmas to you all!
Reception PE
This morning Reception have had a fun Christmas session in the hall for PE, using all of the skills they have been working on- aim, under arm and risk taking. Everyone had a turn at each station and encouraged each other beautifully. Well done Reception!
