Everyone welcome! # Year 1 PE- Dance ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/3E6164FC-2489-4203-9AC8-032FE555C7DD.jpeg) 13 March 2025 Today in their dance session, Year 1 explored the theme of friendship through facial expressions and body language. They had to think about what friendship looks like when they feel happy with their friends. For this, they had huge beaming smiles and excited expressions whilst gesturing high-fiving, hugging and linking arms. They then had to explore changing their facial expressions and body movements to convey what it would look like if they were unhappy with their friends. We had fed-up, frustrated and angry expressions whilst folding their arms, putting their hands on their hips, dropping their arms beside or behind them and gesturing a stop sign with their hands. We then created a sequence of movements to tell the story of Woody and Forky playing together, Forking running away and Woody rescuing him using some of the facial expressions and gesturing we had practised. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/3E6164FC-2489-4203-9AC8-032FE555C7DD.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/0529363B-AA09-4FBE-BE66-EE8C865E48DA.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-12-year-6-english) Previous ### [Year 6 English](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-12-year-6-english) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3430.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-14-year-2-year-of-prayer) Next ### [Year 2 - Year of Prayer ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-03-14-year-2-year-of-prayer) ### 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/)
