20th May,2012 Today we were learning about telling the time. One of the children asked why do we have to learn analogue time when we have digital time.Then another asked how did they tell the time before clocks were made.We researched sundials and looked at some pictures of old sundials.We then went into the playground and investigated how a sundial worked by tracing our shadows and coming back to see what has happened to it at different times of the day. The children now have an awareness of the sun's path throughout the day and can see how this can be used to tell the time. media type="custom" key="18491612"
