Time to tell the time

We will be having a blitz on time over the next few weeks.  If your child is still struggling with analogue clocks, just start with the short hour hand and ask the children to identify what hour it is, or what hour it is close to or just past before moving onto the minute hand.  Some children often struggle with telling the time, and their ability to do it is not an indicator of the mathematical ability.  For those who have already mastered telling the time, why not try some work at home on time intervals.  It is 6.15 now and you need to be in at 6.40, how long have you got to play?
