Autumn 1 - Black History Month

Our first history assembly of the year focussed on Black History Month. We focussed on the life and achievements of incredible Black women over time in line with the theme of Saluting Sisters. Throughout the week during Time to Talks with their teacher, children will be finding out more about significant black individuals who changed history. 

Autumn 2 - Remembrance

In November, Westwood took time to remember. We paused to remember all of those who sacrificed their tomorrow for our today. We held a remembrance assembly at the beginning of the week focussing on symbols of remembrance and why we remember. Throughout the week, children then listened to various poems during Novel Time and some children were involved in making our remembrance video (see History Events page for our video).

Autumn 2 - Jonny Brownlee Vist

In November, Westwood was extremely lucky as we wer able to have the Gold Olympic Triathalon Medalist Jonny Brownlee visit our school to answer the children's questions. Jonny talked about the sport he competes in and various historic moments such as winning multiple medals. He also informed the chidlren about his love of history and the degree he completed at the Univeristy of Leeds. It was such a prvilegde to meet this incredible sporting icon.
