Go on Phonics play. You can revise any sound you wish. Click on Phase 5 Try the sound 'igh' as in 'night', 'light' and 'sigh' This is a trigraph because three letters are used to write this sound down. Click on Obb and Bob, Buried Treasure or Dragon's Den Sound out and blend the word. Sort the words like we do in class. Is it real or alien?
Ask your child if they can remember any other codes for today's sound. e.g. 'ie' like in 'pie', 'i_e' like in 'bike' and 'y' like in 'my or try'.

The shorter hour hand says the number it is pointing to. When the longer minute hand is on the number 12 it says 'o'clock
Test yourself on o'clock times by playing what time is it Mr Wolf. https://www.purplemash.com/#app/pup/maths_activities_Y1_time_hours https://www.purplemash.com/#app/pup/maths_activities_Y1_time_hours_mixed

Maths - Half Past Times Use your clock at home (analogue would be best) If you don't have one, use this one online https://www.teacherled.com/iresources/numeracybasics/?resource=clock https://www.topmarks.co.uk/time/teaching-clock https://www.visnos.com/demos/clock
When the longer minute hand is on the number 6 it says 'half past' because it has travelled half way around the clock. The shorter hour hand will be halfway between 2 numbers or hours. The hour it has already gone past is the one we say because it has not yet reached the next hour.
