In Room 4 we are learning to tell the time using an analogue clock or watch. Many of us are very used to reading digital watches and clocks, so we need a lot of extra practise to read a clock face.
One idea that we have found useful is to get a cheap clock (this white was $10 at the Warehouse) and use a vivid to write 'time language' around the outside so the students can practise telling the time at home.
Parents can then ask the time and the students can use the words around the clock to help them read the time accurately.
Another great idea is to use the clock for students to monitor when they are allowed to do something at home e.g. You can turn the T.V on at half past five. In doing so, the children get used to USING the clock and seeing the relevance to their everyday lives.

It is also useful to hang this clock at a height that is easy for the students to read, preferably at the same height as their eyes.
