Year 2 have been perfecting their tuck and star jumps in our gymnastics topic in PE. We looked at the core principles of gymnastics, starting positions, focus jump and landing position. All the children practised these jumps and did amazingly well throughout the lesson.
Year 3/4 Sportshall Athletics Winners 2023
What an amazing evening at the Year3/4 Sportshall Athletics event at DVHS. The children showed so much courage and determination as many of them had never competed in a school event before. They encouraged each other at every step and were definitely the loudest! We are super proud to say we WON and came away with the gold. Well done to all involved! Your hard work and dedication has paid off.
Year 4 - Tennis Skills
We’ve had great fun developing our racket skills this week. We’ve been self-serving and returning the ball with control to a partner. We’ve also been developing the skills of cooperation and teamwork in our caterpillar races.
Gifted & talented Gymnastics Club
Another awesome G & T Gymnastics club session led by coach Jill. Tonight, the children have been perfecting their routines with a focus on cartwheels and arabesque. The children have been working hard on both the body management and floor exercises.

A big WELL DONE to all of our Sports Stars this week. What a wonderful range of activities that you have all been taking part in! We would also like to congratulate our school football team on coming runners up in the EFL Utilita Kids Cup this week. We are super proud of you all, showing great team spirit, determination and encouraging each other at every step.
Reception Gymnastics- Types of Rolls
Today in PE, the children started with a warm up, where some children were chosen to be sharks and they had to catch the starfish by tagging them. To save the starfish that had been caught, they had to duck under their arms to help them. The children were then given different stations, where they practised the different types of rolls, including the teddy bear roll, a forward roll, a rock and roll and a pencil roll.
Year 1- Lunch time MUGA session
Year 1 had such a fun Muga session! Thank you to the sports leaders for planning such a fun lunchtime session!
Year 6 P.E.
Year 6 have been exploring dribbling skills from a range of invasion games. They will continue to develop their skills in order to apply them to their own creative game in the future.
Football EFL Cup Final
St Barnabas football team took part in the EFL Cup final hosted at the Blackburn Rovers senior training ground. We faced St Paul’s and unfortunately lost the game on narrow margins. The team played exceptionally well and represented their school very well. They met some first team players and had an academy tour. A great pleasure and an unbelievable experience for our football team.
Year 1- Gymnastics
Today in PE we did gymnastics. We worked in pairs to help each other to balance on large body parts (side, back, tummy, hips, shoulders) and focused on stillness. We had a go at lots of movements today but we learnt a couple of new ones “The dish” and “The Arch”. We finished off by creating our own gymnastic routines using new moves we had learnt today. Well done year 1!
Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics Stars
A huge well done to our athletics squad who came 2nd in the Year 5/6 Sportshall Athletics competition tonight at Darwen Vale. We had the largest squad there which meant that so many children got to represent our school in at least one event. We had a brilliant evening and were so proud of the way the children encouraged each other. We were certainly the loudest school! A huge thank you to Mrs Gardner and Mr Bloomfield for their time and dedication to coaching the children and to our parents for helping with transporting the children.
OAA Residential Preparation in Year 4
In our PSHE session today we looked at how we feel about our upcoming visit to an Outdoor Education Centre. We looked at what we will do, how we are supported, sleeping arrangements and much more. We are so excited about the visit but we also understand how we all have different feelings such as worrying too.
