identify, describe and demonstrate quarter, half, three-quarter and full measures of turn in everyday situations

How Bloomi helps with this

This is a readiness-year topic that builds towards the next NAPLAN year. Bloomi practises it as curriculum mastery, never test drilling.

What this looks like in the classroom

• identifying things that turn in the school environment; for example, the handle on a tap or a door, the dial or switch on a piece of equipment; identifying a half turn and a full turn, drawing a diagram and labelling it with arrows to show the direction and amount of turn
• giving and following instructions to move during an activity; for example, demonstrating and describing half, quarter and full turns in a choreographed dance
• investigating hands turning on a clock and relating quarter, half and full hours to angles and the language of clockwise or anti-clockwise
