A Waste of Time

Activities

  • Use local bus and train timetables to construct a simple timetable on the board that can be used to pose questions to the class. Using local place names makes the activity more accessible.
  • Talk about what happens during a 24-hour day. Ask the children to record their activities hour by hour for a whole day, from midnight until the following midnight.
