Morning! We will be carrying on with our Sport’s theme today!! Keep your eyes peeled for the next ‘Sports week’ activity on the blog and Twitter! Remember to keep a track of your scores!

Literacy

1. Complete your fitness diary for today.
2. Research interesting facts and information about a chosen athlete/ sports star- make some notes (not full sentences). Remember to use a ‘safe’ search engine https://www.alarms.org/kidrex/ We will be presenting this information in a Biography later in the week- find out what a ‘Biography’ means. Are there any examples of a Biography in your house?

Maths

We will be continuing to learn about time today as timings are very important within Athletics.

Today I would like you to focus on writing the time in numbers instead of words.

Remember….

• You write the hour first, two dots (:) and then the minutes that have gone past the hour e.g. 4:00= 4 o’clock because no minutes have passed since the clock struck 4 o’clock- a brand new hour.

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, a quarter of 60 is 15 so quarter past is shown as 4;15 (quarter past 4), the minute hand has moved quarter of the way around the clock.

• There are 60 minutes in an hour, a half of 60 is 30 so half past is shown as 4:30 (half past 4), the minute hand has moved half way around the clock.

• When the minute hand moves past half way around the clock it is like we are getting REALLY EXCITED about the next hour coming so we count how many minutes until the next hour! When the minute hand only has quarter of the way left to turn until the next hour we say ‘quarter to’- in this position the minute hand hand moved 45 minutes since o’clock so we write it as 4:45 (quarter to 5) ‘we are getting super excited about it nearly been 5 o’clock’!
