They thoroughly enjoyed this and were absolutely incredible at it. They did this in the context of creating and then completing an obstacle course. E.g. Firstly, crawl under the hurdle. Secondly, run between the cones. Next, put the hula hoop over your head. After that, side gallop to the quoit. Then, throw the quoit in the air and catch it. Finally, drop the quoit and run back to your team. Year One spotted that instructions need both a time conjunction and a verb. They will also learn about using adverbs as part of their instructional writing and retelling too. What a fantastic start to our unit and even better that it was during mental health week as we know how important exercise is to keep us happy and healthy. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/2B000E61-EBF2-4536-8ECC-90F18E18E09D.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/english) [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/mental-health-and-wellbeing) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_0366.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-08-year-2-history) Previous ### [Year 2 - History ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-08-year-2-history) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_8594.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-12-the-big-lent-walk) Next ### [The Big Lent Walk](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-02-12-the-big-lent-walk) ### 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/)
