Planning events
This page is useful for creating whole school or individual class events that are not linked specifically to the curriculum, such as PPA time, assemblies, break times, or lunch.
Planning an event
- Click on the calendar at the time required to add an event (including repeated events), then click in the blue box that appears (you can also click the + button in the top left-hand corner).
- Set the event as School (will appear on every user's timetable) or User (only visible on your own timetable).
- Complete the details of the event as required, Class (if relevant), Title and Description.
- To alter the date, double-click on the date, or for events that last more than one day, single-click the required start date and end date.
- To make the event a Repeated event, change 'Never' to 'Daily', 'Weekly', 'Monthly' or 'Yearly'.
- Click 'Create'.
Any event can be copied as many times as needed. Just click on the required event and select the Copy button.Memorable Experiences
Memorable Experiences can be planned into the timetable either through using the 'adding lessons from a project' below, or through creating them as events to link to our Memorable Experiences map.
- Click on the calendar at the time required to add a Memorable Experience then click in the blue box that appears (you can also click the + button in the top left-hand corner).
- Choose a Class.
- In Event type, select 'Memorable Experience'.
- Search for a location by typing in the name (or by scrolling through the list).
- Click 'Create'.
The Memorable Experiences map is located in the left-hand menu. You can enter your location and use the filters to alter the search area, search by project type and to search by tags. The venues will be listed, as well as appearing on the map itself. There is a brief description of the venue, along with a link to their website and the option to 'create event', which follows the instructions above.
Tests
Tests can be added to the timetable from our selection (located in the Library > Tests folder) or from school created tests.
- Click on the calendar at the time required to add a Test then click in the blue box that appears (you can also click + button in the top left-hand corner).
- Choose a Class.
- In Event type, select 'Test'.
- Select the required test from the selection available or click 'Create a test' to create your own.
- Click 'Create'.
Once the test has been completed, click on the test, then on the Test results tab to enter the test results (if pupils have been added to Maestro). These test results will then appear on the Teacher assessment page.
