The Activity planner lets you create a weekly schedule of activities and continuous provision for the children in your setting, with notes and activities to share both internally and with parents. You can use it to:
Create a different schedule for each room
Copy schedules to other weeks or rooms, so you don’t have to start from scratch every time
Choose which rows are visible to parents and which are only visible to staff
Where to Find the Activity Planner
Click on Learning in your sidebar and select Activity planner.
💡 If you’re using a tablet, you can only edit the Activity planner when your tablet is in landscape mode. You can’t edit it on a smartphone, but you can still publish and unpublish plans
How to Create an Activity Plan
To create a week plan, go to the Activity planner and select the room and week you’re creating the plan for. From here you can:
Add sections to the week based on how you plan for your setting, for example the time of day, the type of activity, the area of learning, or where the activity takes place. When adding a section, you can choose whether it’s visible to parents or staff only
Click the building brick icon to add activities from the Activity Library
Add notes to the week plan
Click Publish week when you’re done
Once published, parents with children in that room can view the plan at any time, except for sections marked as staff only. They’ll receive a notification and can view it via the Home tab under Activity plans.
💡 If you add a personalised or adapted provision for a child with SEND, make sure to mark that section as staff only so it isn’t visible to other parents
