Let's start the day with a prayer.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Read and enjoy the poem Nut Tree by Julia Donaldson. Look at Rhymes in Nut Tree. Highlight the rhyming words.

Today we will be learning again about time.
When the time is o'clock the long minute hand will point towards the 12 and the short hour hand will point towards the hour. Here we can see it is 2 o'clock.
When the time is half past the long minute hand will point towards the 6 and the short hour hand will point in between two hours. Here we can see it is half past 2.
For today's task can you draw the correct time on the clocks? Remember to look very carefully which number the short hour hand is pointing to and which hand the long minute hand is pointing to.
Enjoy the video below.
