You're going to try 12 questions about time. Some are about reading a clock (with the long hand and the short hand). Some are about days, months, and time words.

The short hand shows the hour. The long hand shows the minutes. Take your time!

The Year 1 time warm-up. Covers the Y1 statutory expectations: telling the time to the hour and half past, sequencing events, and using time vocabulary (yesterday, today, tomorrow, morning, afternoon, evening). Also covers days of the week and months of the year — vocabulary frequently tested in KS1 SATs-style papers.

Digital clocks are easier than analogue clocks for children. The Y1 expectation is analogue, because reading a clock face is the foundation skill.

Diagnostic Y1 time warm-up. Coverage: time vocabulary (3 questions), o'clock/half-past on analogue (5 questions), days of the week (2 questions), months of the year (2 questions).

Common misconceptions: reading the short hand at "half past 3" as 3 when it should be between 3 and 4; muddling am/pm; not knowing the order of months (especially July, August, September).

Auto-marked. Watch for clock-reading errors on the analogue questions — these are where most KS1 children stumble. A physical clock at home (one you can move the hands on) is the single best learning aid.
