Hiya! In this tutorial I'm going to show you how to view Activities on Tapestry either at home or at school. Activities are lessons and tasks added by your teacher on Tapestry. Make sure you are logged into Tapestry first. Click here for help with logging in at school and click here for help with logging in at home. Once you've logged into your account, click Activities at the top of the screen which is shown by the red number 1 arrow. Then click the Open button next to the activity you would like to look at (shown by 2). When you go into the activity you'll be able to see the title (1) and any pictures or videos (2). You can also like the activity by clicking the Like button (3). If you scroll down you can see any Documents your teachers have attached to the activity (1). You can open these by clicking on the button for that document. You can also see any Notes your teachers have written to explain what to do (2). If you have any questions you can type these into the Questions box (3), then click Ask a question (4). Your teacher will then be able to answer this for you. If you click the Write about doing this activity (add observation) button at the bottom of the page (5) this will let you make an observation which your teachers will be able to see. You can do this to tell them how you found the activity. For help with adding observations, click here. You can go back to the Activities list at any point by using the Back to list button at the top of the page (1), or you can use the Previous (2) and Next (3), buttons to go to the previous activity or the next one on the list. So that's how to view Activities on Tapestry!

Hello! I'm going to show you how you can write observations on Tapestry. Observations are a way of sharing what you have been doing at school or at home with your teachers and family. Make sure you are logged into Tapestry first. Click here for help with logging in at school and click here for logging in at home. When you log into Tapestry you will start on the Observations page. This has a list of different observations made by you and your teacher and family. If you get lost you can go back here by clicking the Observations button at the top of the screen next to your name. This has a picture of an eye and in the picture below it's being pointed at by the red number 1 arrow. You can open any observation by clicking on it's title or the Open button, which you can see pointed out by the number 2 arrows. You'll then be able to see the title of the observation. You can see this pointed out by number 1 in the picture below, the title of this observation is Abby is reading "The Koala Who Could" this week (27/7/2020). You can also see any pictures or videos attached, like the Koala pointed out by number 2. You can like the observation by clicking the Like button, which is pointed out by number 3. If you scroll down you will be able to see what your teacher has written in the Notes box (pointed out by 1) and any comments (pointed out by 2). These could be written by your teachers or your family. If you would like to add a comment, write into the comments box (pointed out by 3), then click Save Comment (pointed out by 4). Once you are done you can scroll back to the top and click Back to list (shown by 1) to go back to the main Observations page, or Next (shown by 2) to see the next observation. If you want to write your own observation click the Add Observation button from the main Observations page. Firstly you need to write a title for your observation (shown by 1). Make sure to do this as you can't save your observation without adding a title! You can then add the Notes you want to write (2) and pictures, videos or other documents from your computer (3). The observation Notes are where you can write what you have done. Once you're done, click the Save button at the bottom right (4). If you change your mind you can click Cancel (5) to go back to the main Observations page without saving. If you have any trouble, or don't have the option to add an observation, ask your teacher for help.

In this tutorial we'll be looking at the Montessori Assessment Counts tracking screen, which will show you the number of assessments made for each child for each activity. This can be helpful for identifying any gaps in learning. In order to view the Montessori tracking screens you will first need to enable the Montessori framework on your account, if you haven't already. You can find our tutorial on controlling which frameworks are enabled on your account here. To skip to a specific section of this tutorial, please use the links below. Individual View Group View Staff View To access the Montessori Assessment Counts screens you will first need to click 'Tracking' (1) from the blue bar, then select the Montessori framework (2). There are three ways to view the Assessment Count screen: the Individual View, Group View and Staff View (3). We'll start by looking at the Individual View. Individual View When you access the Assessment Counts screen you will be given a list of filters, which will determine what data is included in your graph. The first one of these is the comparison filter (1) which comes with three options: No Comparison - This option means you will only see data for the selected child in the selected time period. Compare Areas - This will allow you to select up to four children. The graph will then compare how many assessments each child has had for each activity. Compare Periods of Time - This will allow you to select up to four time periods. These can either be your preset terms/assessment periods, the child's full history, or a custom period of time. The graph will then show a comparison of the number of assessments for each activity, based on the periods of time selected. You will then be able to select the child whose data you would like to view (2), and the period of time you would like the assessments to cover (3). The screenshot below shows the default 'No Comparison' setting, meaning only one child and one period of time can be selected. However, if you choose to compare areas you will be able to select up to four children, or if you choose to compare periods of time you will be able to select up to four time periods. You can then choose filter by a specific area - AEL, Sensorial, Literacy, Mathematics or KUW - (4), and whether you would like to include unapproved observations or not (5). If you uncheck this option you will only be able to see data for observations that have been added to the child's journal. Once you have selected your filters, you will be able to scroll down and view your graph. This will show the activities on the Y axis and the number of assessments on the X axis. If you have chosen to compare areas or periods of time the other children or time periods will appear as different coloured bars. Group View The Group View is similar to the Individual View, except that you will be able to view the data for groups of children. There are a number of options to specify groups of children, including cohort, key person, gender and any custom groups you may have set up (you can find our tutorial on adding custom groups here). When you select to add children on this screen you will be given a further list of filters to select your group. On the Group View screen you will no longer have the option to compare by area, but instead will be able to compare groups. Clicking this will allow you to compare up to four groups of children. For example, you could compare different classes this way, or different key workers' children. You can also use multiple filters when adding groups. In the example below, the blue bar represents the entire 2019 cohort, the orange line represents boys from the 2019 cohort and the green line represents girls from the 2019 cohort. Staff View The final option is the Staff View. This works in fundamentally the same way as the other Assessment Count Screens, but will show how many assessments each staff member has made, rather than how many assessments have been made for each child. As with the other screens you can also compare the number of assessments made by different staff members, or over different time periods (1). The main difference here is that there are additional filters to specify a group of children, which match those on the Group View. This means you can see how many assessments any staff member has made for a specific group of children. Back to Main Tutorials Page
