Year 3 – Telling The Time Practice

6th June 2025Claire Dutton

Year 3 are working hard on their current Maths topic – telling the time, but many of us are finding it very tricky … especially telling the time to 5minutes and to the minute using analogue clocks. Please could we urge everyone to spend some time at home looking at analogue clocks and watches, discussing time and practising reading different times throughout the day as this will really help us when we are looking at digital times and then problem solving with time.

For half-term, we did share some homework around this so a big well done to those who have already completed this. If you haven’t already done it then why not take another look at the previous blog post here: https://greentopschool.co.uk/year-3-telling-the-time-homework-for-half-term/

You might also find this clock-face poster a useful tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tEgZLbusnHDci9sh7PMsSUPYSI73jsf8/view?usp=sharing

Year 3 – Telling the Time Homework for Half Term

22nd May 2025Claire Dutton

In Maths, we have been learning all about time. Children have recapped telling the time to 15 and 5 minutes on an analogue clock from Year 2 and we have extended this to read the time to any minutes past or to the hour. To help consolidate this learning please find some homework below that you could do at home over the half-term holiday. There will be 100 HoWL points for anyone completing the homework!

And, don’t forget, you can still practise telling the time just by looking at any clocks that you come across – anywhere! Why not challenge yourself to read the time every time you see a clock or a watch? Can you get quicker at doing this by the end of the week?!
