Everyone welcome! # Year 4 - PE: Athletics ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_2251(2).jpeg) 14 April 2026 Our first athletics session in Year 4 was all about demonstrating our throwing and sprinting skills. The children learned about positioning, leg work and arm movement to improve how fast they could sprint and how far they could throw overarm to a target. They then applied these skills through a series of fun team games. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/IMG_2251(2).jpeg) [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_2789(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-13-year-6-football) Previous ### [Year 6 - Football](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-13-year-6-football) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/1000031645.jpg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-15-kids-with-bricks-lego-club) Next ### [Kids with Bricks Lego Club](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-04-15-kids-with-bricks-lego-club) ### 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/)
