This week the children have been learning
to tell the time using a 24 hour clock. Please help your child to tell the time
at home by reading the analogue time and converting it to digital.
They have also learnt to solve word
problems by using a number line to either count on from one time to another to
find how long something has taken or they have added in hours and minutes on a
given time to show the end time.
