Waterpark outdoor residential experience

Outdoor education gives children confidence and a chance to try new and exciting experiences. We have a programme for the outdoors which includes day visits, climbing mornings and longer residential visits.

Currently we take children for the weekend or week to Waterpark on Lake Coniston.

Your child is safe when cycling, insist on a helmet and don’t let young children near busy roads. As a rule we only let Y4, Y5 and Y6’s to cycle to school on their own.

School Sport and Fitness Week

Sport and keeping active are a key part of our school curriculum. Lunchtimes are led by our sports coaches and play leaders and we want every child to have the opportunity to experience and succeed in a number of sporting areas. Our ‘Fitness Week’ is the culmination of a great deal of work by our P.E. staff. We invite a range of professional coaches to school to deliver judo, aerobics, dance, tag rugby, speed stacking, cricket, climbing, golf and curling, to name but a few. Children go off site to some venues and we try to ensure every child has a wonderfully varied week. Our focus on sport and developing the skills of the children and good team work certainly does have a ‘knock on’ effect on performances in school sports competitions. We have won boys and girls schools football, cricket and experienced great success in the Blackpool School Games this summer. Not only do children really enjoy sport we hope it may encourage them to adopt a healthy lifestyle.

Cycling at school

Waterloo is becoming a real cycling centre. We encourage children to cycle safely and sensibly whilst making cycling courses at school fun and active. We introduce our nursery and reception children to bikes ‘without pedals’ (scoot bikes) to develop balance and gross motor skills. We also have Y5 children taking a bike mechanic course, biking breakfasts for parents and children riding to school and a range of bikeability courses for junior aged children. All these initiatives have resulted in a huge increase in the number of children coming to school on their bike.

Waterloo School website launch.

On Friday, 6th June, Waterloo School celebrated the launch of our fantastic new website.
The day began with a whole school assembly in the hall. We all counted down with the countdown clock and dead on 9.15 am our new website appeared on our huge smartboard screen in the hall.
Miss Cherry demonstrated the different pages that could be found on our site and taught us an easy way to remember our new website address.
After that, we all got a chance to meet Sunny the seagull. He was a little bit shy at first but was delighted to become part of Waterloo school and he let out a happy little noise!
Sunny is looking forward to visiting the Reception, Year1 and Year 2 classes when each class gets a chance to win the weekly attendance award.

During the day each year group were able to meet Robin Evans the cartoonist. Robin came all the way from Kendal. He showed us how to draw Sunny. Each class told Robin what they would like him to draw. We had Sunny on a skateboard and we even had Sunny on a space rocket!
He was brilliant! Robin showed us how to add perspective, direction and shading into drawings.
We now have loads of enormous cartoon drawings of Sunny to display around the School.

Bradley from Waterloo Nursery was the lucky winner of our seagull naming competition. He was responsible for naming the seagull ‘Sunny’.

As a prize Robin drew Bradley his very own seagull poster. Bradley wanted a red car with big red eyes.

Robin thoroughly enjoyed his visit to Waterloo School. He was amazed how much we knew already about perspective and shading. He loved our new seagull playground signs that Mr Gray organised for the school. Have you seen our new signs? They look great, don’t they?
Take a look at our seagull gallery below to see all the wonderful pictures.
