Year 2 - Maths Learning - Week Beginning 16th April 2018

In Maths we have been making great leaps forwards in telling the time.  Children are now much more confident in reading times to the nearest quarter hour or the nearest 5 minutes.  They have been working through the 10 ticks to telling the time:
We started by just looking at the hour hand, the short hand, where it is parting or what it has just gone past.
Then we counted in fives around the clock with the minute hand, counting in 5s.
We have a little rhyme to help us remember which hand is which:
The short hand shows the hours of the day, The long hand counts the minutes away.
The children have written the times digitally and in words as well as drawing hands onto analogue clocks.  I have sent home a time telling game along with the home learning to allow everyone to practice this.
