QFL: What is AM and PM in relation to time?

The 24 Hour Day

A day has 24 hours. A clock has 12 hours.

This means each time will happen twice every day.

The hour hand goes

around the clock

twice . The first time it

goes round in the day

it is AM and the

second time it goes

around it is PM.

This means each time will

happen twice every day

We have to use a way to write these times differently. One way is to use a.m. and p.m.

First time round the clock in the

day!

Second time round the clock in

the day!

The day is made up of

AM and PM.

There are many names

for the

Different times of the

day.

Morning

Midday/noon

Afternoon

Evening

Night/Midnight

Learn

The 24 Hour clock

Another way is to use a 24 hour clock.

This means the hours after 12 noon are converted to 13:00 to 23:00.

During AM (Morning) the hour hand has only gone past midnight 2 hours and 30 minutes.

This is why the first clock shows 2:30am. (The first time round the clock)

However, the second clock although it looks the same, is in the afternoon so it pm. (The second time

round the clock)

This means the hour hand has gone around the clock 14 hours and 30 minutes.

It has been around once (12 hours) plus 2 hours and 30 minutes more.

A 4 digit format is used. 2 digits for the hour, a colon (:) and 2 digits for the minutes

24 Hour Hours

This clock and table show the corresponding hours on a 24 hour clock.

Midnight is referred to as 00:00

Grammar Focus Qfl: How are time conjunctions used?

A conjunction is a word used to connect words together such as 'and, or, but'. ... The words before, after, as,

when, while, until, since, are all time conjunctions. They allow someone to tell when something is happening.

When writing an explanation text we use time conjunctions to put things in chronological order.

Activity 1: How many time conjunc-

tions can you spot in this text?

Here are some examples of

time conjunctions. How

can these time conjunctions

be used in sentences?

Activity 3: See if you can solve the

puzzle and unjumble the sentences so

they make sense?

Activity 2 Now it’s you turn!

Complete the sentences using one of

the time conjunctions from the top of

Activity 5 Challenge!

Think back to your time in school

can you use time conjunctions to

sequence your morning? We

RE Qfl: What is a naming ceremony?

How are babies named?

In Christianity, Christians have a Baptism ceremony. We learnt about this in RE, the baby goes to the church with his or

her family. The priest has a special service, like saying special prays, they have a baptism bowl, called a font and the baby

is baptized with holy water. Friends and other family members attend. Normally, a party happens afterwards to celebrate

the birth of the baby.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/clips/zm87tfr

All religions have some kind of naming ceremony.

What happened when you were born? Ask an adult in your house.

Explain what happened and maybe even draw a picture of you and your family.

In Islam: When a baby is born the Azan (the call to pray) is said in the baby’s ear first in right then left. Sometimes honey

is given, parties and celebrations afterwards. What exact celebrations happen can be different but the call to pray (Azan)

always happens.

In Hinduism some parents hold a ceremony on the 6th day called a ‘Chatti’ to name the baby. Traditionally the mother of

the newborn lights a lamp (diya). This lamp along with a red pen and paper are placed on a wooden plank for God to

write the future of the newborn and bless the baby. Different religions have different ceremonies ask you parents what happened when you were born? Why?

Names of Religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Sikhism

If you don’t have a religion: Find out why your name is special and why you were given that name. Talk to your parents

and share it with us. Maybe even add a picture!
