Maths Topic Thursday

Time

Today we will be learning about telling the time to the nearest hour and half hour on an analogue clock, which just means a clock with hands.

• Remember when the big hand is at 12 it means o’clock and when it is at 6 it is half past the hour.

Warm Up:

• Find something in the shape of a circle to draw round.   Draw a circle clock face in your jotter with the numbers 1-12 around the face in the correct order and position.   Or make a clock face on paper. 

• Find 2 items which you could use as the long hand (minute hand) and the short hand (hour hand) to use on your clock face to practise telling time.

• Watch this video on o’clock and half past times:

Main Task:

• Look at these times with someone at home.  Can you read them correctly?  You can record them in your jotter if you want.

Extra Challenge:

• Can you draw an analogue clock, or make an analogue clock to show these times?

Miss Donald.

Today, Lynda Keith visited to help us learn problem solving and enquiry skills.

We had to help solve problems in groups, through play activities. We had to use a lot of communication and self management skills too.

It was a little tricky but it was so much fun!

 

Today we visited the kitchen and made Fairtrade rice crispie cakes as part of Fairtrade fortnight.
We are learning how to read and write instructions and we did brilliantly at following the recipe. We had a great time making them. Tomorrow we will enjoy eating them!
