Key Stage 1 Walkthrough
In this walkthrough we are going to create reports for some Year 1 children. When you start The Report King, you will see the following page.
You will then see the Your year group page.
- Click on the box at the top right hand corner of the page.
- The box will drop down into a list. Select Year 1.
- Click on Next.
You will then see the Your students page.
- Click on the I want to enter new information about my class link.
You will then enter the class editor. This is where you enter information about your class.
- We are going to start by entering the name of our first student: Emma Jones.
- Click the mouse on the first blank cell (the one underneath the heading "forename".)
- Enter Emma as the forename.
- Move onto the next cell, the one underneath "surname", by either clicking with the mouse, pressing the right cursor key, or pressing the tab key.
- Enter Jones as the surname.
- Move into the cell underneath "gender".
- Tell The Report King that Emma is female by typing f.
Now we are going to enter Emma's level of ability across the subjects.
- For English, enter m (for middle achiever).
- For Speaking and Listening, enter 2 (for achieving level 2).
- For Reading, enter 2c (for achieving level 2c).
- For Writing, enter 1 (for achieving level 1).
- For Handwriting, enter 1.
- For Maths, enter h (for higher achiever).
- For Using, enter 1.
- For Number, enter 2c.
- For Shape, enter 2c.
- For Science, enter m.
- For ICT, enter l.
- For History, enter m.
- For Geography, enter h.
- For Art, enter l (for lower achiever).
- For DT, enter m.
- For Music, enter l.
- For PE, enter m.
- For Swimming, enter non (for non-swimmer).
- For RE, enter m.
- For PHSE, enter h.
Go back to the start of the next row. Enter the name of another student: Peter Brown. He is male, so in the gender cell, enter m for male. You are now going to enter his abilities across the range of subjects. When you enter a cell, you will have noticed that a hint balloon appears. The hint balloon will tell you what groups are available for each subject.
- Enter a series of groups for Peter Brown. You can choose any abilities you want, so long as they appear in the hint balloon.
Now we are going to save your work.
- On the menu bar at the top of the window, click on File.
- Now click on Save as.
- The Save dialog box will appear.
- Enter Test Class into the filename box.
- Click on Save.
- Now leave the class editor, by selecting File, and then Exit.
You will then see the Your blank report page.
- Click on the I would like to use one of the built in report formats radio button.
- Click on the list box underneath. A list of options will drop down.
- Select Rich text report, by attainment target (more visually appealing).
- Click on Next
You will then see the Your report directory page.
- By default, The Report King will create your reports in My Documents. On some networks, you will have a folder that is like My Documents that is set up for you.
- We are going to keep the default setting, so just click on Next.
You will then see the Create reports for... page.
- We are going to create reports for all of the students in our class.
- Click on the All of the students in my class radio button.
- Click on Next.
You will then see the Generate reports page.
- Click on Generate to generate your reports.
- When The Report King has finished, look in My Documents.
- You should be able to see two files - one for each of the students you created. The Report King will name the files after each child, so Emma Jones's report will be called "Emma Jones".
- Try opening the reports in your word processor. You will see that each subject report is linked to the ability you entered into the class editor. You should also see that the reports are quite different from one another, even if you entered exactly the same ability groups.
Congratulations - you have completed the Key Stage 1 walkthrough!
