Everyone welcome! # Year 5 - Badminton ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1635.jpeg) 27 November 2023 Today, Year 5 started their new PE unit on badminton. The children learned the correct way to grip the racket and explored the variety of ways to hit the shuttle using the correct terminology. The children worked on their forehand keeping the shuttle in the air, controlling and alternating their movements to keep the shuttle close by. The children then worked in pairs and began to hold rallies with each other. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1635.jpeg) [Year 5](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-5) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0029.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-27-first-week-in-advent-hope-collective-worship) Previous ### [First week in Advent- Hope Collective Worship](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-27-first-week-in-advent-hope-collective-worship) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-D3EAEEE5-771F-4FC4-8FC8-A1D135D91C04.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-27-year-3-d-t-running-stitch) Next ### [Year 3- D.T- Running stitch](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2023-11-27-year-3-d-t-running-stitch) ### Personal Development - [News](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://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://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
