Everyone welcome! # Year 3- P.E- Gymnastics-Demonstrate balances on 2 and 3 points of the body. ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/activitymore-8CC5BB3D-D4DF-4EE0-95FE-787AC1B475C5(2).png) 17 January 2025 Year 3 began their gymnastics unit this afternoon focused on balance and movement. To start, they practised balancing on one leg, extending the other leg backwards with a pointed foot, and then switching sides. We discussed the quality of a good balance, emphasising the importance of stillness. Next, the children explored balancing on four points (two hands and two feet) and discussed whether it felt easier and why. They then experimented with balancing on smaller body parts, trying positions with 1, 2, 3, or 4 points of contact. It was a fantastic start to the gymnastics unit, with plenty of creativity, teamwork, and fun. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/activitymore-8CC5BB3D-D4DF-4EE0-95FE-787AC1B475C5(2).png) [Year 3](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-3) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/3E19457F-2A72-45AF-AA85-D79B7539981C.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-16-year-1-year-of-prayer) Previous ### [Year 1 - Year of Prayer ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-16-year-1-year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-9AD8DE65-4111-4C0B-B84C-A61535B9D4A7.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-20-after-school-foodie-friends-club-yummy-fruit-scones) Next ### [After-school- Foodie Friends Club- Yummy, fruit scones. ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-01-20-after-school-foodie-friends-club-yummy-fruit-scones) ### 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/)
