Year Three Time Unit of Work

Unit of work aimed at Year Three - time.
Differentiated resources for each lesson and lots of opportunity for AFL/talk partner work.
Unit starts with a cold task that can be repeated at the end of the unit.
Children make their own clocks at the start of the unit to help build familiarity.
Before each lesson is a teacher slide with information about each lesson. Lots of extra activities and further extensions/probing questions. :)
