Time

Year 5 have been learning about time in their Mathematics recently. Students understood why time was important and explored the duration of events throughout a day using real timetables within their lives such as their school timetable and transport schedules. The students had a lot of fun when completing a real-world application task of creating their ‘Ideal School Day’ where they were required to give the 12 & 24 hour time of the start and end time of each lesson, as well as the duration of each lesson and the total duration of the day. The students came up with some wonderful ideas from having Yoga and Writing lessons, to an Outdoor Movie Cinema experience. The students thoroughly enjoyed sharing them with the class.

‘I enjoyed coming up with fun activities like having a three-hour Taylor Swift Concert as a lesson. I learnt the difference between 12 and 24 hour time.‘

‘I enjoyed it when we were able to be creative with our ideal school day. I learnt a lot about 24 hour time and when will use it in our lives.’
