We’ve been really busy learning how to tell the time! We’ve looked at which hand on a clock is the minute hand (the longer one) and which is the hour hand (the shorter one). We’re starting to recognise o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to and we’re even beginning to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes. We’ve been using clocks to practise telling the time in a hands-on way, which the children have really enjoyed. We’re so impressed with how well they’re picking up this new skill!
Help at home – please keep practising telling the time as much as you can using a clock with hands.
