Everyone welcome! # Reception- Fundamentals and Gymnastics Fun ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_7509.jpeg) 8 April 2025 Reception class had a visitor to class this morning - Mrs Gardner. The children completed a variety of activities to develop their fundamental skills and then moved onto travelling, jumping and height using low level apparatus. It was lovely to see the children challenging themselves and encouraging each other. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_7509.jpeg) [Reception](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/reception) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-6B97B32B-B9E5-423D-9CF7-45C912AC637C.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-07-year-3-r-e-exploring-easter-through-art) Previous ### [Year 3- R.E-Exploring Easter Through Art](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-07-year-3-r-e-exploring-easter-through-art) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_7451.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-08-pshe-online-safety-in-year-4) Next ### [PSHE Online Safety in Year 4 ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-04-08-pshe-online-safety-in-year-4) ### 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/)
