Learning goals
- We are learning to describe the duration and sequence of events using years, months, weeks, days and hours.
- We are learning to explain time durations using months, weeks and days.
- We are learning to estimate and compare the duration of events using days, hours, minutes and seconds.
- We are learning to recognise and read the time represented on analog and digital clocks to the nearest minute.
- We are learning to tell time to the minute and investigate the relationship between units of time.
