Star Class HQ is a free classroom hub for your projector or interactive whiteboard, now with Calm Class: 36 painted, gently moving scenes to leave on the screen while your class works.

Calm Class (new in version 5)

• 36 painted scenes: a mountain lake, a rainy window, a train through the countryside, the moon with the Earth turning, five Christmas scenes, Emberwick Harbour and more
• Quiet class visitors: the quieter the room, the more animals come out, and students can collect them in the spotted album
• Nova has her own moments in the scenes
• Calm music, a timer of any length, instructions and up to four pictures on screen
• Plain backgrounds in any colour
• The microphone listens only to how loud the room is, never to what is said. Nothing is recorded, kept or sent.

Also inside

• A class dashboard and Landing Page for the start of the lesson (learning intentions, success criteria, steps and today’s seating plan)
• English questions at three levels and six word games for lesson starters
• A timetable view with reminders
• A name picker, seating plans and groups, team points, and ticks that open the Rewards Room
• A Rewards Room of whole-class games
• Timers, a noise watch and a quiet challenge
