Stop the Clock - by single minutes; 24 hour time; 5 minute intervals
Bang on Time – match the ticking clock hands to the time given
Interactive Clock – shows intervals on a big clock, and digital

Three Way Conferences
July 26, 2011 by parkhillkids · No Comments · news
Next week, we’ll be holding our second round of three-way conferences, in which students, parents and teachers sit down together to look at learning goals. We have the mid-year report and the student portfolio to look over, so it should be a very busy and productive time! Make sure that you know your conference time, and that your portfolio is up to date. Parents can fill in the Pat on the Back form to give feedback during the conference.
Looking forward to seeing you all there!

SuperClubs Plus
June 19, 2011 by parkhillkids · No Comments · fun, publishing
Last week we started using the website SuperClubs Plus. It’s a great website, where kids can make their own website and learn how to do it, participate in forums, and send emails to other Superclubbers. It’s a moderated environment, so kids are protected within the site. There’s lots of learning about net safety, too. Go there now!
