Telling the time

The basics
 This is a clock.

• You place a clock on the wall or on a table, like an

alarm clock.
 There are two types of clocks…

• Analog clocks (and watches)

• Digital clocks (and watches)

 A clock has got a face.
It’s where numbers are placed.
 A clock has got hands.
• A long hand that tells us the minutes.

• A short hand that tells us the hour.

 Now, more divisions.
