Year 4 time worksheets and planning – Summer Block 3

Our Year 4 time resources for Summer Block 3 support pupils in developing a secure understanding of time across different units and formats. The block builds confidence in converting between units of time and applying this knowledge when reading, comparing and calculating with time.

Pupils begin by working with longer units of time, including years, months, weeks and days, before moving on to hours, minutes and seconds. The block then focuses on reading and converting between analogue clocks, 12-hour digital time and the 24-hour clock.
