Our team have been developing lots of exciting ideas to help your child learn at home. We will be adding to these, so please remember to check back regularly.
We also share lots of home learning information on our Twitter page @HazeldeneFamC 
We would love to receive photos of the children learning at home. You can share these through Twitter @HazeldeneFamC or e-mail: schoolmail@hazeldene.e-renfrew.sch.uk (please reduce the size of photos if e-mailing). With your permission, we would be delighted to share the photos so their friends can see them.
