Everyone welcome! # Year 6 - Netball ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_1785.jpeg) 5 January 2026 This week, Year 6 began their invasion games unit with a focus on netball. The children explored the core principles of effective passing and receiving, including accuracy, timing, movement into space and communication. They took part in a series of rondo-style games designed to develop quick decision-making, maintaining possession and supporting teammates. These activities helped the children to understand how to keep the ball moving under pressure and apply these skills within a game-like context.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_1785.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_9441.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-04-welcome-back-weather-warning) Previous ### [Welcome back & weather warning ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-04-welcome-back-weather-warning) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2204.png)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-05-year-5-science) Next ### [Year 5 - Science](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-01-05-year-5-science) ### 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/)
