They demonstrated a great gymnastics pose using straight legs and arms. The children also tried hard with caterpillar crawl, which is moving hands and feet at different times. They also started to practise pencil rolls, keeping their legs and arms straight and rolling using their hips and tummy muscles. At the end, they also worked in pairs to safely carry the mats. ![](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/images/news/7B3956C9-9EBF-442E-879F-468741E82977.jpeg) [P.E](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/p-e) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4767.jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-09-year-5-pe) Previous ### [Year 5 - PE](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-09-year-5-pe) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_4233(1).jpeg)](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-11-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship ](https://stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2026-09-11-friday-celebration-worship) ### 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/)
