Belted Galloway Home Learning
Welcome to the Belted Galloway's home learning page.
During school closure, activities for your child to complete at home will be uploaded to this page.
Everyone will have a different daily timetable due to parental work commitments, family arrangements and access to computers and printers. In light of this, we will be adding a variety of activities which will be suitable for each year group. Please feel free to select the activities which best fit your home circumstance. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any issues or if you would like to feed back on the activities on offer.
Please note that there are also a variety of websites and learning opportunities on the whole school learning page.
