Learning to tell time / Clock-work.

What is the best way to tell what time it is? A clock!
Our class is learning how to tell time!
An hour is sixty minutes long.It takes an hour for the big hand to go around the clock. When the big hand is on 12, and the little hand points to a number, that is the hour!30 minutes make half an hour. There are 3 ways to say time to the half- hour. For eg. we say 7:30, thirty  past the hour or half past seven.And that a clock also has 4 quarters. One quarter- hour is 15 minutes.The children have made their dinner time, bed time, math & recess time.......They made their own clocks to bring home!
