They learnt that in order to measure accurately, they needed to make sure that the start of the object that they were measuring with was lined up with 0 and that they counted along until the number that their object ended at. They also learnt that they were measuring in centimetres. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/1FBE9DC7-187D-42F8-97D9-6471CF687238.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Maths](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/maths) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/0457553B-1862-4012-BBD2-AD0615ED29EF.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-17-year-6-p-e-athletics) Previous ### [Year 6 P.E. - Athletics](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-17-year-6-p-e-athletics) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/A8735D18-B76A-467D-86C0-B856D4BFAC85.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-17-year-1-pe-kicking-and-controlling-a-ball) Next ### [Year 1 PE- Kicking and Controlling a Ball ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-17-year-1-pe-kicking-and-controlling-a-ball) ### 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/)
