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
Watch the song about o’clock times and then see how many o clock times you can read correctly in the sheet below.
What Time is it?
Extra Challenge
Can you draw a clock face with any of these times on it? Or use this Online teaching clock to show the times.
Morning Primary 1! I hope you have enjoyed all the sunshine we have had – I think it’s about to go away for a wee while 🙁 I wanted to have a BBQ today but I’m not sure if it will be a bit too cold outside. I might just have one anyway!
Here are Wednesday’s Home Learning activities…….
Plural Wednesday
Today we are going to do some work on plurals. Pluralmeans there is more than one of something.
When there is one of something we call it singular and when there is more than one of something we call it plural.
To make something plural we just add ‘s‘ to the end of the word e.g. 1 cat and 5 cats.
So adding ‘s‘ to the end of the word means there is more than 1 of something and it is plural.
Warm Up:
Watch this video to help you understand plurals:
Main Activity:
Complete the worksheet below by adding s to the end of the word to make it plural
If you would like to, you can draw pictures to go along with your writing
Try and set it out like this: 1 cat 3 cats
Extra Challenge:
Can you use any of your plural words to write a sentence? I came up with the sentence: He had 2 fast cars.
Game to Support Learning:

Today we are going to do some work on our number bonds. Remember, a number bond is an addition sum that we can recall and answer really quickly.
If we know our number bonds off by heart, it helps us as we start to work with bigger numbers.
Warm Up:
Jack Hartman has all the number bond videos for numbers from 1 to 10 on YouTube. Here is his video for number 8 – in the video he will show you all the different ways to make 8
If you want to watch the number bond videos for all the other numbers….click here! The videos should play one after the next.

If you need to use your fingers remember to always take the big number and add on the small number.

Since today is the start of a new month AND a new season I thought we could do some work on months of the year and seasons of the year!

It is Friday of week 10 away from school – Yes TEN!! I even had to double check! Can you believe it? 10 weeks away from school?
Anyway, I remember that we used to enjoy this funny dance at the end of the day sometimes, and I thought it might be fun for you to dance to this Friday.
Remember that you have to copy just what the dog does. Get everyone in your house to join in too – it’s fun. Those who have older siblings I have taught will remember this too! 😉
Morning Primary 1. I hope you’ve had a good week and you are looking forward to the weekend!
Friday Sentence Jumbles
Today we are going to be unscrambling some jumbled sentences. That means that the words are not in the right order
Do you think you can put the sentences in the right order?
Warm Up:
Watch this video clip to help you remember how to make a sentence. Can you join in with the singing and dance moves?
Main Activity:
Read these jumbled sentences and put them in the correct order. You can just read the sentence or have a go at writing them in your jotter. There are a couple of sets to try. The second sheet is a little trickier.
Extra Challenge
Make your own jumbled up sentences for someone else to solve. You could write a sentence and then cut it up to rearrange in the correct order. Don’t forget the punctuation mark.
Count along with this video – count in 2’s, 5’s or 10’s
