Alverstoke Church of EnglandHome Blended Learning
We use Google Classroom to facilitate blended learning. If you child is at home self isolating then work will appear on there ready to access. If a bubble has to close we will revert to the full Google Classroom offer used in lockdown.
Here are some examples of amazing work children have done at home:

- Google Classroom Cheat Sheet for Students by Shake Up Learning
- Initial Set Up and Other Frequently Asked Questions
