Percy Learns Time
Children can join Percy the caterpillar to practice skills involved with time. As a program designed for Key Stage 1, spoken instructions, colourful graphics and animations make this ideal for unsupervised use in the classroom.
The six activities feature both analogue and digital clocks and encourage the player to participate in activities that involve reading the time, setting a clock to given times, finding a clock with a given time, placing events in the correct order and working out time differences.
The 3 levels of difficulty cover reading the time to the hour, the half hour and the quarter hour. Furthermore the teacher's section provides the ability to control whether children learn 'quarter-to' times, 'quarter-past' times or both. In addition, the teacher's section feature options to control the programme, certificate printing and printable worksheets to use away from the computer.
