Telling The Time

Today we had a go at changing the time from analogue(clock face) into digital. We found that we could count in 5s to help us find how many minutes past the hour the larger hand has gone.
To practice we can click on the moveable clock on the post below.

Clock Face

Use the big clock below to practice telling the time. Look at times involving the hour, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We must know this and be able to recognise these times on a clock.

Move the clock round by clicking upon the buttons on the right and see how the hands of the clock move around together to tell the time.

We're all in this together

In our dance lesson today we were working upon "We're all in this together" from High School Musical. In our two sessions so far we have learnt a routine for the verses. Now we can begin to work upon the chorus which we can see here. We should be ready to put it all together ready for just before Easter.

Venn diagrams

In our maths this week we have been looking at handling data. Today we moved onto sorting information into a venn diagram. Here two criteria are chosen to help us to sort through different mathematical data. Have a go at this Venn diagram below.

The world according to Humphrey. Chapter 4.

Today we read that Humphrey was taken home by the headteacher of Longfellow school, Mr. Morales. This happened because some of the other teachers had suggested taking Humphrey but made an excuse not to. Mr Morales stepped in saying that he had always wanted a hamster. However the most important man in the school wasn't the most important man in his house. His two children didn't listen to him when he told them to be careful with Humphrey and his wife didn't seem too happy when he brought Humphrey home.

Humphrey though had a plan!
