Everyone welcome! # Year 3- P.E- Invasion Games- Rugby ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-0AAA1071-29C3-45A9-B419-FE0DA6AA8EE7.png) 23 April 2024 In P.E. this term, Year 3 are learning the skills of rugby. This afternoon, the focus has been to master the swing pass technique for ball handling. The children formed groups of 4 to 5 in a semi-circle and engaged in a game of Pepper Pot, aiming to maximise the number of successful passes they could make within 30 seconds. They were reminded to show honesty as a group and report back the actual number of passes made and it is about beating their own group's personal best score rather than other groups. They worked brilliantly and encouraged other groups along the way. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/activitymore-0AAA1071-29C3-45A9-B419-FE0DA6AA8EE7.png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Christian Values](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/christian-values) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-356EE735-26C1-4CD3-8B59-8E6322B00126.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-22-year-3-art-prehistoric-palette-create-paints-using-all-natural-ingredients-as-prehistoric) Previous ### [Year 3 - Art- Prehistoric Palette- Create paints using all natural ingredients as prehistoric artists did.](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-22-year-3-art-prehistoric-palette-create-paints-using-all-natural-ingredients-as-prehistoric) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1378F345-5A36-4C43-99E4-3C085DD10F82.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) Next ### [Rhyme time ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2024-04-24-rhyme-time) ### 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/)
