Day 3
 
GOOD MORNING WILLOW CLASS. HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL. IF YOU HAVE NOT MANAGED TO EMAIL ME, WOULD YOU BE ABLE TO JUST PING ME A MESSSAGE AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK TO LET ME KNOW YOU ARE ALL WELL AND THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO ACCESS THE ONLINE LEARNING. MANY THANKS. 
 
Maths
@ PLEASE EMAIL THIS TASK BY PHOTOGRAPHING SOME OF YOUR WORK AND EMAILING IT OR SENDING ME A MESSAGE TO LET ME KNOW HOW CONFIDENT YOU ARE WITH THE TASK AND IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU FIND TRICKY.
Today we are going to practise writing  o'clock and half past times as well as drawing the hands on clock faces to show these times. The work that you did yesterday will help you and don't forget to use the Time Organiser Mat from yesterday's learning to help you today. When writing the time, you can use numbers or practise writing the numbers in words. Here are the spellings to help you. 
 
Example:
 
7 o'clock or Seven o'clock
 
Half past 6 or Half past six
 
Don't forget that when drawing the hands on the clock faces. The hour hand is the shorter hand and the minute hand is the longer hand. You can remember this by knowing that the word 'hour' is shorter than the word 'minute'. That will help you with the size of the hands. Also, when drawing 'half past times' remember that the hour hand is never on the hour, it is always half way past it. For example, when drawing on 'half past 11', the hour hand is half way between the 11 and 12. Just try your best!
 
I have attached differentiated sheets but I would like you all to do the 'Drawing and writing o'clock and half past'. If you want to challenge yourself, have a go at the 'Time Challenge' where you are asked to work out the times an hour before or after.
 
The answer sheets are attached for an adult or yourself to check work afterwards.

Comic strip the story of Spy Fox on one of the comic strip templates attached or you can make your own. Think about the characters involved, the setting and think about what the characters would say to each other. Include speech in speech bubbles. You might even have thought bubbles to show what characters are thinking.
