They have been practicing how to tell time using analogue clocks and converting these times to the 24-hour format. In one engaging activity, students were given a specific time to display on an analogue clock and then convert it to 24-hour time. This hands-on activity was not only enjoyable and engaging but also allowed students to apply their understanding of time to real-life scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sian Tierney<\/strong><br>Year
