Today's challenge was to find out what A.M and P.M stood for and explain the meaning.  Congratulations to Edward and Maupi who succeeded in this challenge. Here is what they learnt.

A.M=anti meridian means before midday
P.M=post meridian means after midday

Over the last few weeks we have been looking at time. We have been learning how to read analogue, digital, and 24 hour clocks. We also looked at how to read calendars and the international time zones. This is what we have learnt so far.
