For all Hawthornden Children and Families
Here is something to remind you of us all and let you know that although we can’t see you in school, we are thinking about you! Thank you to Miss Cairns for making this!
Legendary Learning List
Our Legendary Learning List is displayed in all classrooms. The Legendary Learning List was devised by pupils with the support of staff to help pupils work towards becoming ‘Good Learners’.
The words help support pupils in during the learning process by allowing them to focus on how they are learning and what they can do to support their learning.

Visible Learning Parent Booklet
Thank you to all the parents who came along to our PAT PAL (Pupils as teachers, Parents as learners) session on 2nd October.
This session had a Visible Learning focus where the pupils were sharing and teaching what they had learned througout the course of Term 1. There was lots of learning about the brain, growth and fixed mindsets, mistake making and the language of learning.
We gave out parents booklets on that day and you can find a copy of the booklet below. The booklet gives an overview of what we are covering and why and also includes pupil voice. The booklet also gives you ideas of ways that you can support your child at home.
