Today we are looking at writing time.

Start by discussing units that time can measured in. Then ask children what could be used to measure minutes and seconds. Show children a stop watch and discuss how to use it.

You could then go through the powerpoint for the week with lesson 2.

Year-1-PRESENTATION-Measurement-Time-Week-11

To begin with have a go at the investigation of estimating and measuring time.

Year 1 – INVESTIGATION – Estimate and measure time

Then try the worksheets on writing time.

★☆☆ -(Page 1) – Children will Match the activities to the units of time they would be best measured in.

★★☆ – (Page 2) – Children will complete the table to indicate the unit of measurement activities are best measured in. They will progress to completing sentences to identify whether an activity should be measured in seconds, minutes or hours.

★★★ -(Page 3) – Children will complete the table to indicate the unit of measurement activities are best measured in. They will progress to completing sentences to identify whether an activity should be measured in seconds, minutes or hours as well as creating their own sentences.

If they want to use more they could select a couple to write about. Make sure they are planning their sentence and sounding out each word for spelling- it doesn’t have to be correct as long as it is phonetically decodeable! For example your child may only be able to hear a couple of sounds in crocodile.

You could then set up a shop and ask your child to label each of the items with different values. Can they select the correct coins to pay for an item? Can they check if you have given them the correct coins to pay for an item? To add a further challenge you can give them the wrong amount and see if they can work out how to make the correct amount. You could also buy two objects and see if they can work out the total amount for both items.

Record your findings in a table to show what the container is, how many spoons/cups you estimate and then the actual number of spoons/cups.

You could extend the learning by talking about halves e.g If it takes 10 cups to fill the saucepan how many will it take to fill it half full?

We are looking at counting coins today. Start by putting a selection 1p, 2p, 5p and 10p in front of your child. Ask them to select a few different coins and find the total amount. Can children use their knowledge of counting in multiples of 2s, 5s and 10s to help them?
