Lesson Details
Key learning points
- We can describe how long things take in weeks, months and years.
Common misconception
Pupils may think a week always starts on a Sunday, and a year always starts in January.
Having these displayed in your environment in a circular formation (as in the slide deck) will help to reinforce the idea that a week is any seven days in sequence and a year is any twelve months in sequence. Practise reciting using the cycles.
Keywords
Week - A time period of 7 days.
Month - One of the twelve parts of the year.
