Team Amin-McCurry: what's the time?

Today, we recapped recognising O’clock and half past, as well as making them on our clocks. We discussed the minute and hour hand, as well as continued counting in our 5’s around the clock. We learnt that ‘quarter past’ means 15 minutes past the O’clock, with the minute hand on 3 and the hour hand past the O'clock number. We reminded ourselves of our fraction’s knowledge, dividing a circle into four equal parts and identifying a quarter. Then, we moved on to ‘quarter to’ and learnt that when the minute hand is on the 9 it means 15 minutes to the next O’clock. This was slightly tricker because you have to say ‘quarter to’ the next number, not past! We practised on our clocks making O’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to
