Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Gymnastics ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_0094.jpeg) 4 November 2025 In our PE lesson this week, the children took part in a gymnastics session focusing on counterbalance. The children worked in pairs to explore how to use each other’s weight and strength to create balanced shapes and movements. The children particularly enjoyed creating mirrored and matching balances, thinking carefully about body tension and control to keep their positions steady. It was wonderful to see the children’s confidence and cooperation grow as they worked together to perfect their partner balances. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_0094.jpeg) [Year 6](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-6) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1416.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-03-year-5-science) Previous ### [Year 5 - Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-03-year-5-science) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1446.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-04-year-5-r-e) Next ### [Year 5 - R.E.](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-11-04-year-5-r-e) ### 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/)
