📘 WALT & Success Criteria

WALT: We are learning to tell the time to the hour, half‑hour and quarter hours and describe simple durations.

Success criteria: I can tell and write times to o’clock, half past and quarter past/to; I can work out how many minutes or hours between two times; I can use words like before, after, next and later.

Differentiation: Hands‑on clocks and sentence starters for learners who need support. Challenge cards for advanced learners.

Extension: Time challenge — find how many hours between two given times or convert minutes to hours.

Dyslexia‑friendly: Read questions aloud, allow extra time, and use clear short sentences. Use a ruler to follow lines if needed.

Teacher notes (brief): Assess students' ability to set analogue times and explain "how many minutes/hours" questions. Offer hands‑on clocks for those who need them.
