Please see our admissions page for further details. Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE- Underarm throwing ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_8831.jpeg) 12 February 2025 Mrs Ham had the pleasure of teaching PE in Year 1 this week and she was really impressed with the underarm throwing skills that the children have developed over the last few weeks with Miss Flynn. We started with a fun Mr Men warm up to get our body ready and Mr Tickle was definitely the favourite one! We then recapped and practised the skills of underarm throwing with accuracy with a partner. We then applied these skills in a small game where one child was an attacker who had to throw the beanbag into a hoop and one was a defender. We thought about the tactics we could use such as looking or moving the opposite way to where we intended throwing the bean bag. We then put all these skills into practice with a couple of games of dodgeball and we saw some brilliant underarm throwing and tactics being used. Well done Year 1, I’m sure you will be amazing at our inter house benchball competition on Friday! ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_8831.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/AFBBD3EE-A692-43AF-9CCB-1599F57816CA.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-1-year-of-prayer) Previous ### [Year 1- Year of Prayer](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-11-year-1-year-of-prayer) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/B8DFE7D3-31C7-40AD-8086-E7F6ED8A4E48.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-13-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) Next ### [Year 6 Music with Junior Jam](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-02-13-year-6-music-with-junior-jam) ### 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/)
