What a fantastic - and emotional - goodbye to our brilliant Y6 children. They should be so proud of all of their hard work over their time at Hawthorn. Today has been a celebration of the superstars they have become!
We are pleased to share our latest Ofsted report - we have been judged as 'Good' in all areas. Inspectors recognised the hard work of our Hawthorn family as we work together to provide high quality academic and creative experiences for our children.

A very enthusiastic little learner in Year 1. Harper was so excited to show us all a photograph from his Grandad after telling him we are learning all about George Stephenson in school! 🚂
We are so excited to welcome the children back on Tuesday 8th September. Please come at the time that was on your letter and to the relevant gate for drop offs and pick ups.
Please remember to socially distance.
Let's all work together to keep each other safe 🙂

Y2 have been learning all about Sheku Kanneh Mason and the beautiful music that he plays. The children in year 2 have been so inspired by him that they have asked to start taking their instruments home so that they can become as good as Sheku.

Thank you to all our wonderful Year 3 parents who came to our Design and Technology workshop this morning. Here are our finished rainforest mobiles. Aren’t they incredible! 🪡 🧵🐍 🐸🐒 🦜
Year 3 and 4 had fun scattering the wildflower seeds given to them by Mrs Dube. Fingers crossed the bees🐝and butterflies 🦋 love the wildflowers when they grow.
A big thank you to the Northumbrian Hedgehog Rescue Trust who helped us and our new friend today. She is off to be warmed up and looked after until it is safe for her to be returned to the wild.
What a great day in Y6! We have created black-out poetry using ‘The Lost Words’, chosen a new class novel by
@BooksandChokers
and solved some tricky maths puzzles! Best of all, we got to say ‘Hello’ to each other again!
What a fabulous start to our week where the children used natural resources to create these beautiful pebble people pictures of their friends and family. We talked about how spending time with special people makes us feel good about ourselves.

During assembly this morning, we discussed the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. We were able to share a lovely letter and card we received this week from the Palace thanking the children for their letters for the Jubilee. Our thoughts are with the Royal family at this sad time.
Y6 have been outside in their maths lesson today, estimating the height of trees and structures in our grounds using our measuring and multiplication skills

The children in Class 7 added purple poppies to acknowledge the animals who served and lost their lives during the War.
Well done Y2. You have worked very hard over the last 2 weeks. Check out their poetry, postcards, posters, cards, forest school art and reflective comments! We are all very proud of you.
Today year 2 went on a walk to look at what was on our doorstep! We walked from school along the quayside then up to the castle and then onto central station! We covered some miles and the children were amazing !

Year 3 and 4 had a special assembly today discussing how to respect others and follow the rule of law by being able to identify hate crime. We know our actions have consequences and thought about how to help others who may be feeling unhappy with things people have said.
