Learning journey

Your child is learning about measurement in everyday life — telling time to the hour and half-hour, comparing lengths and weights of objects, understanding money, and using time words like yesterday and tomorrow.

Evidence of understanding

  • Name the seven days of the week in order
  • Name the twelve months of the year in order
  • Understand that a year is made up of months and weeks

Assessment prompt

If you ask Days, Weeks, Months & Years what day it is today, what day yesterday was, and what month we're in, can they answer all three — and tell you how many months are in a year?
