Quelle heure est-il?

As you’ve been looking at numbers I thought we could move on and

look at telling the time.

Today, we are going to:

• listen to and join in with a song about telling the time.

• start learning how to tell the time with o’clockin French.

• start learning how to say half past, quarter past and quarter to.

• practice saying them in a sentence, using a help sheet.

• practice reading the times.

This first video will help you with the phrases for o’ clock.

Listen out for the rhymes that are made with the numbers.

Can you work out what the skeletons are doing at each time?
