We couldn't have had a better start to our second half term as a class! Miss French is so impressed with what we have remembered from Autumn 1! ### English We have started reading a new text for this half term. Peter Pan written by J.M Barrie. This week we have taken the time to really get to know the characters we have already been introduced to in the story. We have focused on Peter Pan, Tinkerbell and Wendy. We have really enjoyed using videos clips from the film adaptation to help us understand the characters even more! We are especially lucky because Miss French went to Disney in the summer holidays and she has shown us photos and videos of her meeting Peter Pan and Captain Hook. We have spent a lot of time this week looking at vocabulary and how to use the best and most appropriate vocabulary to describe our characters. ### Maths Maths has been tricky for Jellyfish class this week. We have taken the time to secure our learning around subtraction with exchanging using the column method. We have completed a lot of 'I do, We do, You do' to help us secure this. By Friday, every single person in Jellyfish class had shown our school values in our maths lessons, especially determination and courage. ### History We have started a new History topic called The Neolithic Age. In our first lesson this week we learnt about a significant woman called Dorothy Garrod. We found out that Dorothy Garrod discovered a little, curved tool with a bone handle, covered in wild grass. This tool was a sickle. She discovered that farmers would have used this tool. This was amazing because she now knows that our ancestors didn't have to hunt and gather they could grow their own food. ### Geography We have started our study on Mountains. This week we looked at what a mountain is. A mountain is a special type of hill. To be a mountain it has to be 600 metres tall. When you climb a mountain the temperature drops. We also found out that mountains are steeper than hills. ### Jellyfish WB 31.10.22 [![](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/3b1d0cad-a156-48be-b27d-32ae98037a51_1x1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/3b1d0cad-a156-48be-b27d-32ae98037a51_1x1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/8dcca2dd-0fbb-48fa-8679-dff5ccf55b23_1x1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/8dcca2dd-0fbb-48fa-8679-dff5ccf55b23_1x1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/3987d391-7760-435a-82cb-8826c1b163dd_1x1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/3987d391-7760-435a-82cb-8826c1b163dd_1x1.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/c0765caf-e3cc-4a01-9529-d3343ac47d86_1x1.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/gallery/jellyfish-wb-31-10-22/c0765caf-e3cc-4a01-9529-d3343ac47d86_1x1.jpeg) [Jellyfish](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/tag/jellyfish) [ Week Commencing 31st October 2022](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2022-10-31-13-02-00-week-commencing-31st-october-2022) [WB 31/10/22 ](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2022-10-31-14-23-00-wb-31-10-22) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2400.0541310576964!2d-2.170451783858812!3d53.01938987991181!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487a69d4086c0711%3A0x19262908cd9219d0!2sWaterside%20Primary%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1670583840226!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![Waterside Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/waterside-primary-school/images/logo/waterside-logo-2-footer.png) **Waterside Primary School** Eastwood Road Stoke on Trent ST1 3JS Tel: 01782 234630 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Newsletter ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/people/Waterside-Primary/61559202505677/) - [X](https://twitter.com/watersidestoke) © Copyright 2022–2026 Waterside Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
