Maths – Time
This term we will be learning about different aspects of time – we will start by talking about days, months and seasons.
Collecting dates- Find out some key dates from your family and friends, e.g. Mum’s birthday is 5th March; we go on holiday on 10th July. Bring a few dates into school and we will create a group or class calendar of events.
Time devices at home – Find and record places that you see the time devices at home, e.g. alarm clock, cooker timer. Draw, write or take photos of these devices and in class we will discuss what they are used for.
