Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - PE: Orienteering ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2169.png) 1 April 2026 In our final orienteering session, the Year 4s were ready to explore further afield. Until this point, the children had been perfecting their map reading skills, understanding the importance of finding magnetic north and locating the start point. This session was an opportunity for the children to fine tune their teamwork skills - taking time to read the map and make group decisions about which direction to go in. The groups were given a medium route map which took them on to the furthest reaches of the top field. It was certainly an energetic session. The teams raced to each point in order to be the first team to finish, but the most successful teams were those who fulfilled their roles and talked about the locations before setting off running. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2169.png) [Year 4](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-4) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3648.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-31-year-5-chocolate-bingo) Previous ### [Year 5 - Chocolate Bingo](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-03-31-year-5-chocolate-bingo) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_1076.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-02-reception-hop-skip-jump) Next ### [Reception - Hop, Skip & Jump ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-02-reception-hop-skip-jump) ### 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/)
