Another week has started and another rhyme has unfolded: Hickory Dickory Dock.
We all sang it and listened to the rhyming words in it. We also thought of more words that would rhyme with 'dock'. Some of us were very keen on this activity an came up with a long list of words: flock, sock, mock, shock....well done.
In maths we talked about time and why it is important to know what the time is. Some of us think it is good to know the time so we can be on time to ballet classes or when we come to school.
We learnt how to tell the o'clock time using analogue clocks.
'The big hand has to point to 12, that means o'clock'.
'There is a small and a big hand'.
Some of us built a clock outdoor using a hoop and some sticks.
Whilst others thought about turning themselves into mice by adding a long paper tail to their back.
'I''ve made long and short mice.
After all that hard work we explored some instruments. Children sang Hickory Dickory Dock whilst tapping the beat of the song.
We converted our tower into the clock tower and became mice to run up and down the clock.
Finally we used our knowledge of the clock to think about how this links to ordering numbers... For many this gave us lots to think about because of how the numbers arranged around the clock face.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
