If you need to refresh your memory, here are some of the things we learned in class!

Time Vocabulary

Analogue clock:
A clock that uses numbers and hands to measure time.

The time on this analogue clock is 6 o’clock.We can also write it is 6 o’clock like this     6:00


Colon:
Two dots used between the hours and minutes on a digital clock and in writing time.

The colon is between 12 and 45.

Digital Clock
A clock that uses electronic numbers to show the current time in hours and minutes.

Hour hand:
The short hand on the analogue clock. It shows the hour.

Minute hand:
The big hand on the analogue clock. It shows the minutes.

One great way to remember that the minute hand is longer and the hour hand is shorter is to spell the words! The word ‘minute’ is a longer spelling word than the word ‘hour’.


Hour:
There are 60 minutes in an hour.

The numbers on the outer circle count the number of minutes there are in one hour. We don’t see this outer circle on a regular analogue clock. On an analogue clock we see the numbers from 1 to 12. There are 5 minutes between each of these numbers.
If there are 5 minutes between each number and there are 12 numbers,
5 minutes x 12 numbers = 60 minutes. That is why there are 60 minutes in one hour. 


Time for More Time!

Understanding the terms ‘quarter to’ ‘quarter past’ and ‘half past’

This practice clock helps us to understand the words that we use when we tell time.
The important words from this picture that we are learning about in class are:

‘a quarter past’ (when the minute hand is on the 3).

‘half past’ (when the minute hand is on the 6).

‘quarter to’ (when the minute hand is on the 9).

o’clock (when the minute hand is on the 12).

From this picture you will notice that all of the words on the right side of the clock (numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) use the word ‘past’. Whenever the minute hand is on the right side we use the word ‘past’.

Whenever the minute hand is at the 12 we use the word o’clock.

Whenever the minute hand is on the left side of the clock we use the word to.
