Schools Mini Marathon
Over the weekend our St Theresa’s Mini Marathon Runners had the opportunity to take part in this years London Mini Marathon in Central London. More than one million children have taken on the challenge since 2020. What’s more, our school gets a trophy for taking part. The children all came together really well and were amazing ambassadors for the school. Well done!
We have been really lucky to get our cricket season up and running early this year. All the children in the school were able to access cricket lesson in the Autumn term thanks to the great coaches at Capital Kids Cricket. This really helped us select our cricket team in the latter part of the Autumn Term.
The school team entered the William Greaves tournament where they were firstly able to compete with other Barnet schools at the London Middlesex Indoor Academy on East End Road. The children played extremely well – especially when communicating as batsmen. The team played 4 games and were victorious in all of them!
This meant that we got the opportunity to represent the Borough of Barnet at the home of cricket – Lords Cricket Ground. The children were so excited to play at such a prestigious venue against some amazing opposition in the London semi finals. Unfortunately we came up against a really strong Ealing School side and were eliminated but the children are so proud of their achievements and went home knowing they had got to represent the borough at cricket. Well done guys!
Our cricket team has also been very successful in their league campaign!
Lords Day
A group of children from Years 4,5 and 6 got the fantastic opportunity to go Lords Cricket Ground to take part in the annual ‘Schools Day’ activities and get to watch a brilliant test match between Middlesex and Kent.
For many of our children it was their first opportunity to visit a live sporting event and we were so lucky to get fantastic weather to watch a great game between Middlesex and Kent. The children got to see the game in action after taking part in lots of cricket sessions this year as part of our P.E curriculum. We were then invited down to the academy training pitch where the children took part in some catching and fielding games. The children found them really fun and are now desperate to share them with the children in the playground.
As we were one of the first schools to arrive we got the opportunity to go into the academy training centre where the group then got to take part in some practice games – the children really enjoyed this and it was amazing to see how much they improved over the session.
We were also able to take on a scavenger hunt around the stadium which really helped us find out more about the history of the venue and find out some really interesting facts about the history of cricket.
A selection of KS1 children were so lucky to get the opportunity to visit the StoneX Stadium for a fun filled Christmas themed athletics meet. We learnt so many new skills and got the chance to play lots of different games as the perfect way to end the Autumn term! Our favourite activity was the cup stacking and the giant parachute! The children were impeccably well behaved and received so many compliments from members of the public travelling on the bus and tube and the sports coaches who ran the morning session.
Netball
Girls Football
Our Year 5 and 6 girls football side had a great morning at the Barbet Football festival. Many of the girsl were playing for the first time but quickly showed that they were brilliant as a team. The girls did not lose a single game or even conceded a goal the whole day! They won their group with ease thanks to goals from Amber in Year 5 and some great defending by Chisom and Nikola. They got all the way to the quarter finals where they unfortunately lost on penalties. However they were great sports and came back to school with big smiles on their faces. Well done girls!
Indoor Athletics
Cross Country
Our KS2 Cross Country team had some of the worst conditions imaginable for the first meet of the 24/25 Cross Country season. Despite lashing rain and windy conditions the children showed great perseverance and all did extremely well. Well done!
Dodgeball
A group of our Year 4 students got the opportunity to take part in the Barnet Dodgeball Festival at Copthall Leisure Centre. The children showed really good understanding of the game and some excellent team work and tactical awareness. It was a really well run and fun event which the children really enjoyed. Well done all!
Rowing
We were incredibly lucky to have the Ministry of Rowing come to visit the school to let our Year 6 children take part in a Barnet Schools Rowing competition! The children were so excited to see how the rowing machines worked before being taught the best technique to get the maximum speed. After a couple of practice attempts the children then got the opportunity to take part in some races.
Through the ‘Chance to Shine’ Programme so many of our children have had the opportunity to take part in Cricket coaching sessions for Autumn 1. The children have all really enjoyed the sessions and it has been amazing how much progress they have made in their skills and sport knowledge! As well as learning more about cricket our sports leaders have also had the opportunity to take part in sports leadership sessions with the coaching staff.
