Everyone welcome! # Year 4 PE - Athletics - Throwing and Sprinting ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_7995.jpeg) 7 May 2025 PE this week focused on sprinting and throwing. We looked at developing a throw using a sling action, discussing the differences to the push and pull throw. We worked on zones to see how far the children could reach and discussed how you can use your body to generate force when throwing. Finally, we finished off with sprint races working on sprint starts and fast finishes. ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_7995.jpeg) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [Competitions](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/competitions) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/activitymore-B5311627-CB2E-48C2-8D23-6036339ADC33.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-06-year-3-english-understanding-rules-and-kindness-through-michael-rosen-and-marc-colagiovan) Previous ### [Year 3- English-Understanding Rules and Kindness Through Michael Rosen and Marc Colagiovanni's Poems](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-06-year-3-english-understanding-rules-and-kindness-through-michael-rosen-and-marc-colagiovan) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5357.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-year-5-creative-writing) Next ### [Year 5 - Creative Writing](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-05-07-year-5-creative-writing) ### 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/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/events/Open_Days_2026-27_(3).png)
