Yesterday me and my mates went to the park for a while and we had to get back in time for dinner.  We got to the park at 4 o’clock and dinner started at 5:30pm.  We went home from the park at 4:59pm so we had 31 minutes to get home and we got there in time because we live near to the park. When we got home we had our dinner and I had to wait 5 minutes so I can go out. If I didn’t use my maths skills fir telling the time, I would have been late!
