Welcome to Westminster Class; the home of Year 1! 

Our topic this term will be Under the Sea. We will be learning all about changes in living memory and the sinking of the Titanic as well as exploring habitats under the sea.

As scientists, we will investigating and learning about everyday materials.

Ms Pearson will be teaching Year 1 Tuesday -Friday and Mrs Birtwistle will be teaching Year 1 on Mondays.  

Westminster Reading

Children's books will be changed on a Monday when they have finished reading their current books. Each child can choose up to 4 books to take home at one time and they will be given a phonetically decodable book by their teacher.  The decodeable book should be read multiple times to help develop fluency and expression. If, over the course of the week, your child reads all 5 books, their reading should be supplemented with books from home. For some children reading longer books, the expectation isn't to read all 5 books and should change just those which have been completed.

Reading Records will be monitored regularly and they remain a very good way to communicate messages from home. 

Westminster PE Sessions

This term PE will be on a Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. 

Outdoor learning

This term our outdoor learning session will be on a Wednesday afternoon. The first session of the new academic year will be on Wednesday 13th September. 

Please ensure children are bringing appropriate clothing and footwear every Wednesday.  

Home Learning
