Time

I am learning to tell the time on analogue clocks and identify their features.

I know I can do it when I can identify the:

• hour hand
• minute hand
• minute markings
• tell the time

Watch this:

Re-watch and try to sing along.

Independent Activity

• Open your green lined book.
• Rule a line under any previous work to rule off.
• Write today’s date.
• Write the heading “Time”

The Bernstain Bear – On Time

Listen first without watching and pause every time you hear the time.

Can you draw the hands on the clock to show the different times from the story, make sure your hour hand is smaller than your minute hand.

Here are some clock templates:

Now re-watch and check your work against the clocks in the book.

Concept: Being Persuasive

I am learning to identify how a writer provides details to persuade the reader to agree with them.

I know I can do it when I can:

• Find the main idea in each paragraph
• Find details that support the main idea

What does Persuasive Mean?

The dictionary’s definition of the word persuade reads: to cause to do something by using reason or argument. The soccer coach persuaded her to try out for the team.

synonyms: convince

So, to help convince someone to agree with us, we must first work out how we feel 😊

Let’s practise!

Warm Up:

Practise by working out how you feel about ideas: Play the Persuasive Game: Do you agree or disagree with these statements?
