Telling The Time
Parent workshop – 8th October 2018

2. Aims
To recognise the difficulty in telling the time that many children have;
To find out what and how time is taught in school;
To look at resources that can be used at home to help children to tell the time.

4. By the end of Year 1 we would hope that the children can tell the time to the hour and half past the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.

5. Teaching clock

6. Also covered: knowledge of hours, minutes and seconds; chronological language (before, after etc…) day language (morning, afternoon etc…) days of the week months of the year the year

7. By the end of Year 2 we would hope that the children can tell the time to five minutes including quarter past/to the hour and draw the hands on a clock face to show these times.

8. A clock face is a full circle which is made up of 4 quarters.
How many minutes make up quarter of an hour?

9. There are 15 minutes in quarter of an hour.

10. When we tell the time we either say it is ‘past’ or ‘to’ the hour.
Quarter to
Quarter
past
Half

11. Hickory Dickory Clock

12. Also covered: Knowledge of how many minutes in an hour
Knowledge of how many hours in a day.

13. By the end of Year 3 we would hope that the children can tell and write the time on an analogue clock (including those with Roman Numerals) and understand 12 and 24 hour clocks.

14. This is covered a lot more in Year 4, but it very much links with the idea of there being 24 hours in a day.

15. Roman Numerals Parking Game

16. By the end of Year 4 we would hope that the children can convert between analogue and digital clocks.

17. Stop The Clock

18. Real Life activities for Year 5 and 6
