The XVH world: islands, stories, field trips and more

Pupils press 🏝️ World at the top of the page (or the big banner on their home page) to explore the XVH world.

The islands

There is an island for each subject: Maths Mountain, Word Woods, Science Springs, Heritage Harbour, Art Bay, Maker Cove and Tech Lagoon. Tap an island and Hummi flies there. Each island has 4 places to visit, and each place opens activities on that topic for your grade.

• The first places are open from the start.
• The others open as you earn stars in that subject (6, 15 and 30 stars). The island tells you how many more you need.

🎭 Story Theatre

A story season is told one chapter a week, with pictures and read-aloud. Season 1 is Anansi and the Lost Drum of Port Royal.

• Each new chapter opens on its week and when you have earned 8 more stars on any activities, so the class moves through the story together.
• At the end of each chapter there is a story question. Answer it the first time for 10 coins.

⛵ Field trips

Big pictures of real places in Jamaica: Dunn's River Falls, the Blue Mountains, Port Royal, Moore Town and a coral reef. Tap the glowing spots to learn facts, find the 5 hidden things, then answer 5 questions. The 💡 Hint button shows roughly where to look. Field trips give stars, XP and coins like any activity, and teachers can assign them from the Library.

📒 Collector's album

Get 2 or more stars on an activity (the first go that day) to win a collector's card: Jamaican animals, National Heroes, places, foods, famous Jamaicans and national symbols. Up to 8 cards a day come from activities, and more from the treasure chest. Cards you don't have yet come up more often. Finish a set for 30 coins. Tap a card in the album to read its fact.

🎁 Daily treasure chest

Open one chest a day on the home page for coins, and sometimes a card. Opening it on days in a row fills the 7 dots: on day 7 it is a big chest with 50 coins and a card for sure.

🪺 Hummi's nest

Buy things for Hummi's room with coins: pictures and a clock for the wall, a sofa, plants and a fish tank for the floor, and wallpaper. There are 4 wall spots and 6 floor spots. Take out frees a spot; nothing is lost.

🌀 The class boss

Each week the class quest is a boss to beat together, such as Hurricane Hector or Captain Forgetful. Every star anyone in the class earns knocks off a point. When the boss is beaten, everyone in the class gets the quest coins. A new boss arrives every Monday.

Sounds

With the 🎵 music on, field trips and some missions add a quiet scene sound: waves, a waterfall, birds or bubbles under the sea. It goes quiet whenever anything is read aloud. See background music.
