Activities


Recommended Posts

 

The Activities feature on Tapestry can be used so your child's setting (school, nursery, childminder etc.) can share activity ideas with you and turn these into planned activities. 

If your child's setting has chosen to use this feature, you can find it on the browser version of Tapestry from the options at the top of the page. Please note, this feature is not available on the app, so you will need to be logged in to Tapestry through a browser. However, planned activities will appear on your main feed while using the app.

We'll start by looking at planned activities. These are activities the school or setting have set for your child/children to complete. To skip to the section on our activities collection (activities which have been added but not necessarily been set as planned activities), click here.

 

Planned Activities

When you click on the 'Activities' option, you will be taken to the Planned Activities section (1). Here you will see all planned activities that have been shared with relatives and linked to your child/children (2) for you to do with them. 

If you're looking for a specific type of activity you can use the page filters to narrow down the activities you see (3). 

Clicking on the cog button at the end of a row of an activity (4) will give you the option to reply straight away to an activity with an observation (5). Also, if you have been given permission, you will see an option to download media within the activity (6). 

If you want to see more about an activity, you just need to click on the name of it (7).

When you click into a planned activity at the top you will be able to see some information about it such as who created it and when. You will also be able to see the names of your child/children that have been included. If other children have also been included you will see how many but you will not be able to see their names (1). At the top you will also see the option to export the activity as a PDF (2).

If the activity includes any media, photos and videos, these will be shown below the title (3). If the option for you to download media has been permitted, underneath the media you will see the option to download (4).

In the yellow notes section you will see information about the activity itself, explaining what you need to do (5).

If you see a section called 'Links to and from this Planned Activity' it means the activity is linked to activities in your setting's own collection or other observations (1). You can click on the 'Show full list' button to see what it is linked to (2).

Once you click on this button you will see everything this activity has been linked to. In this case it is linked to an activity in the setting's own collection (1). This will be shown in chronological order with the green line indicating when this activity was added. 

If you don't want to see this section anymore, you can just click on the 'Hide full list' button (2).

Finally, at the bottom you will see a section where you can add any questions or points of discussion you have. You can write these in the notes box (1) and then you just need to click on the 'Add Reply' button (2). 

Alternatively, if you are ready to do this activity with your child/children, you can click on the 'Reply with an Observation' option (3). This will allow to add an observation where you can show your child doing the activity and it will automatically link the observation to this planned activity.

Our Activities Collection 

The other section within Activities that you can access is called 'Our Activities Collection'. This section is for activities that your child's setting have added but haven't yet been turned into planned activities. You can get to this by clicking on the tab at the top of the page (1).

If you're looking for a particular activity you can use the search bar (2) or the page filters at the top of the page (3).

Just like the Planned Activities section, for each activity you will see it's title, a profile image and some text from the notes. To see an activity fully, just click on it's title (4).

Once you have clicked into an activity you will see any media that has been included (1). At the top you will also see a button the export the activity as a PDF (2). 

Underneath the media, you may see the option to download any attached photos and videos (3). Whether you see this or not will depend on your child's setting's user permissions.

In the yellow box you will see any accompanying notes for the activity (4) and below that, you may see a section for you to ask any questions you have about the activity (5). Again whether you see this will depend on the setting's user permissions. If are you are allowed to comment, you just need to put your text in the notes box (5) and then select 'Add Reply' (6).

So, that's the Activities feature on Tapestry. We hope you enjoy using it.
