What's the time?

Year 2 have been learning to tell the time to 5 minute intervals. To help them understand time we made a human clock with children being the hour and minute hands. They quickly realised how much the minute hand moves compared with the hour hand. They enjoyed making the clock say so many miuntes past the hour and moving the hands. Tomorrow we will be learning about minutes to the hour.

This is what some of the children had to say about our learning this morning
