Telling the Time

This week in Maths we are having a lot of fun learning to tell the time. Today we made our own analog clocks with 1/2DW. Here are some maths games you can play online at home. It would also be a good idea to practice telling the time on a digital and analog clock at home.

More Telling the Time Games

Have fun!

Mrs Frances' Holiday

Ola 2F!
I hope you are all having a great holiday. I am in Brazil at the moment and I have been having a "marvelouso" holiday! It has been hot and sunny every day, and my husband Steve and I have had lots of adventures. We have 2 more days in Rio de Janeiro and then we are flying to Santiago, Chile.
Does anyone know the names of the places of some of the pictures I have put up?
Are you having a good holiday? What are some of the things you have been doing?
