We have been learning about time in Maths. Games like bingo and Stop the Clock during stations are helping us to become more confident reading the time. This is a tricky area so please practise as often as possible at home!

We interviewed Dr. Joseph Roche, an Irish scientist who is starting his training in the hope that he will go to live on Mars!
