We introduced chest passes to make straight, quick throws and practised catching the ball with our arms out ready to receive. Year 1 noticed that if you have a larger distance between a partner, it was easier to bounce pass the ball.![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/0948F526-5398-4567-B355-65DE5F8800EE.jpeg) [Year 1](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_2986.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-11-year-6-expressing-our-views-of-jesus) Previous ### [Year 6 - Expressing our views of Jesus](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-11-year-6-expressing-our-views-of-jesus) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_3493.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-13-reception-visit-to-imagine-that) Next ### [Reception: Visit to Imagine That](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-05-13-reception-visit-to-imagine-that) ### 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/)
