This week we are learning about time.
Please watch the videos and complete the maths worksheets provided. Alongside this, you can use the practical activities below to support your child at home with telling the time.

Practical Time‑Telling Activities

Daily Time Check
Ask your child to read the clock at key points in the day (wake‑up time, meals, bedtime). Focus on o’clock, half past, quarter past, and quarter to.

Make a Paper Clock
Create a simple paper clock with moving hands. Call out a time and ask your child to show it. Then swap roles so they can choose a time for you.

What Time Is It?
Point to any analogue or digital clock and ask your child to say the time using correct vocabulary, e.g. “quarter past 3”.

Match the Time
Write times on small cards and ask your child to match them to clock faces you’ve drawn, or to times shown in books. Use both analogue and digital formats.

Five‑Minute Counting Practice
Practise counting in fives around a clock face. Link each number to the minutes past the hour (e.g. 1 = 5 minutes, 2 = 10 minutes).

Before or After?
Ask questions such as, “Is 7 o’clock before or after breakfast?” to help your child understand the order of events in a day.

TV or Timer Challenge
Set a timer for 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Ask your child to predict what the clock will show when the time is up, then check together.

Time Talk
Use time-related language naturally throughout the day—earlier, later, next, yesterday, tomorrow—to build their understanding alongside clock reading.
