Time Thursday

Today we are going to learn about telling the time.

We are going to tell the time to the o’clock.  That’s when the big hand, the minute hand is pointing to 12.  and the small hand, the hour hand points to the hour that it is.

So if the big hand is at 12 and the small hand is at 4 it would be 4 o’clock!

Warm Up

• Go on a clock hunt round your house.   How many clocks and watches can you find?  Remember there are 2 types:

• analogue which have hands:

• and digital, which have just numbers:

• Watch this Jack Hartmann video about the analogue clock:

Main Task
