Time - Using a.m. and p.m. - Presentation

In an engaging presentation, students are introduced to the concepts of 'a.m.' and 'p.m.' to help them understand and describe different times of the day. The lesson begins with a discussion on what 'a.m.' and 'p.m.' signify, followed by an activity where students use a visual timetable to categorise events such as Art, Maths, Science, Reading, P.E., and English into morning (a.m.) or afternoon (p.m.) sessions. This practical approach helps students to apply the language of time to everyday school activities, reinforcing their understanding of when these periods occur within a typical day.

Continuing with the theme of time, the next activity challenges students to sort a series of times from the latest to the earliest, using the 'a.m.' and 'p.m.' indicators to assist them. This task not only solidifies their grasp of the 12-hour clock format but also enhances their reasoning skills. Furthermore, students are asked to show the given times on both analogue and digital clocks, highlighting the differences between the two time display methods. Through these activities, students learn to convert times between analogue and digital formats, gaining a comprehensive understanding of time-telling in a variety of contexts, including train schedules and sleep patterns.
