This week we are working hard in telling time. Children often find telling the time hard as it involves three different scales (minutes, seconds and hours) in the same place!
It would be really helpful if you could get children to keep practicing at home. Just asking them to read the time for you on both analogue and digital clocks will really help.
If they are confident with reading the time start telling them how long an event will be (maybe a favorite tv show, or cooking dinner), then ask them what time that means it will finish.
You could also give a time something will start and end and ask them to tell you how long that means it will be.
Time can be tricky, it just needs lots of practice. Give ‘Time’ some time at home for success!
