Username: class42019 Password: frog Username: class52019 Password: lion Username: class62019 Password: deer Activity 1 Learning Objective: – Sequence familiar events. – Use vocabulary to describe the order of familiar events, including before, after, first, next, morning, afternoon, evening. Complete sheet ‘My Day’ sequencing events from their day (either by cutting and sticking the pictures or drawing your own).

Optional: Purple mash game ‘AM or PM’ set as a ‘2Do’ (talk about what AM and PM mean) Optional: Look at the clock in your home (preferably analogue) at various points in the day and point out the time that you do certain things! Activity 2 Learning Objective: – Identify the minute hand and the hours hand on an analogue clock. – Read o’clock and half past times on an analogue clock. Use this online clock to look at o’clock and half past times. Discuss where the minute hand (big) and hour hand (little) point at these times. Practise making different times together (take it in turns to challenge each other!). A point that children often find difficult is the position of the hour hand at half past, especially when it gets into the 2nd half of the clock – we would teach this by looking at the direction the hands move (clockwise) and showing the hour hand then continuing halfway past towards the next number. Optional: Telling the time quiz on Purple mash (set as a 2Do). Talk about the minute hand being the bigger hand and the hour hand being the shorter hand.

Complete the ‘1 minute time challenges’ sheet. |
