24 hour clock
- get the children to 'close their eyes and imagine the journey
to school', with you questioning them about what they pass, what
they see, who they recognise.
- make up strange words, like 'stupendous' that could be used for
... lots of, a small amount of, a long time and a very dull
day.
- talk through the summer vacation and list all the things that
have been done. You never know Miss Chow King may be their new
teacher!
Teachers you might like to:
- build on the root words microscope/ telescope and investigate
the issue of enlargement and scale factors - making things larger
and smaller examine different types of time pieces used through
history
- get the children to estimate a passage of time - 3 minutes say
and see how accurate/ inaccurate they have been. How
can you represent these trials?
