Recording Activities

What an activity is

An activity is one recorded moment — what happened, which children were part of it, and what it shows about their learning. It's the raw material the termly report is later built from, so the habit of recording as you go is what makes report-writing quick rather than painful.

Parents see these too, though their app calls them observations rather than activities. Same records, different word.

Adding one

Activities → Add Activity, then:

1. Activity Photo — take one with the camera or choose from the gallery. Optional, but it's usually the part parents respond to.
2. Activity Details — the activity type, the learning outcome it demonstrates, and any notes.
3. Select Students — tick every child involved.

One activity can cover several children at once, so a group session is recorded once rather than retyped per child. You must select at least one student; the form won't save without it.

Finding activities again

The Activities tab filters by student, activity type and date, and Clear resets them all in one go. If a record seems to have vanished, check whether a filter from earlier in the day is still applied before assuming it wasn't saved.
