What students see
Students get their own view of the same class. It is deliberately small: what is due, what they are part way through, and what has come back marked.
Signing in
Students sign in with an email code like anyone else, but for a primary class that is often more friction than it is worth.
The alternative is a QR code. You generate one code per student from the class, print the sheet, and they scan it. No password to forget, no reset to chase, no lesson lost to logging in.

Codes are single use and expire, so a printed sheet does not become a permanent key to a child's account.
The dashboard
The first thing a student sees is what to do next: the activity they are part way through, their classes, and how they are going.

Activities
Everything assigned to them, across every class, in one list. They can filter it down to what is due, what is in progress, what has been submitted, and what has come back graded.

Work opens with Start or Continue. Graded work shows its feedback right there in the list, so a child does not have to go hunting for what a teacher said.
Doing the work
An activity is worked through on screen. Questions can be typed, or dictated, or photographed if the work was done on paper.

They can save a draft and come back to it. Nothing is submitted until they choose to submit.
Getting feedback back
When a student submits, the marking starts straight away, and they watch it happen rather than waiting for a returned book.
What comes back is a comment, a next step, and their own writing marked up in place. Corrections are shown against the sentence they belong to, which is the part children actually read.

If you hold feedback for review, none of this appears until you have approved it. See Reviewing and approving.
