What were we learning?
To tell the time using ‘quarter to’ and ‘quarter past’.
How would we know if we were successful?
- We would be able to show times on both analogue and digital clocks.
- We would link ‘quarter past’ to ’15 minutes past’.
- We would link ‘quarter to’ to ’45 minutes past’.
What did we do?
- We used clock fractions to see that a quarter of an hour was 15 minutes long and that three quarters of an hour was 45 minutes long.
- We used class clocks to show where the minute and hour hands should be placed.
- We wrote times using ‘minutes past’.
- We did a matching challenge with mixed times to see if we could recognise ‘quarter past’ and ‘quarter to’ times.
- We completed challenges on Sumdog.
Miss McLaughlin will soon send home a record of what we have been learning. We can use this to work at home on something that we find tricky or as a checklist to show if we demonstrate our learning at home.
We are also beginning to use our knowledge of time and number to build up a timeline of important Victorian dates.
Until next time…
