You have really shown our value of the half term, determination. This has been across all areas of our learning. Well done! #### Maths In maths this week we have moved onto measurement. We have looked at measuring length in millimetres, centimetres and metres. We spent a lot of time recapping how to correctly use rulers to measure in centimetres before moving on to millimetres. To end the week we used all of the previous learning from the week to add different lengths. ![](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/images/blog/359.png) #### English This week we had a go at editing our work for the first time. As it was our first attempt we showed a real determination and know that we will only get better the more we practise. After our editing we moved onto our new genre, a persuasive letter. We have spent the rest of the week familiarising ourselves with letters in general, then persuasive letters and finally the difference between fact and opinion. ![](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/images/blog/360.png) #### Humanities In History this week we looked at the question 'What did the ancient Egyptians believe in?' We listened to some stories about different gods and goddess and what they meant to the Egyptians. Our favourite story was about Osiris and Isis. In Geography we looked at 'What is a town?' We discovered that a town has a larger population than a village resulting in them having the need for more shops and facilities. We then looked at the differences between market and costal towns. ![](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/images/blog/361.jpeg) [Jellyfish](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/tag/jellyfish) [ WB 23.01.23](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2023-01-23-07-52-00-wb-23-01-23) [23/01/23 ](https://waterside-primary-school.schudio.com/blog/2023-01-23-08-18-00-23-01-23) [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/)
