Today, we are going to begin our journey into the magical world of time! We'll learn how to read clocks and understand the days of the week, all while having lots of fun.
To kick off our adventure, we will start with a story that brings time to life! Gather 'round, young explorers, as we dive into "The Clock Fairy's Magical Day."
Once upon a time in a land not so far away, there was a magical fairy named Ticky Tock. Ticky had a very special job: she made sure that all the clocks in the world ticked correctly!
One sunny morning, Ticky noticed that children were forgetting how to tell time. So, she decided to visit a classroom where children were eager to learn!
"Hello, little friends!" Ticky chimed as she flew through the window, sprinkling glitter everywhere. "Today, we're going to find out what makes time so special!"
After the story, it’s your turn to become a Time Explorer!
Let’s make our very own clocks using paper plates and colourful markers!

Instructions:
Once your clocks are ready, we’ll have a dance party with a special song about days of the week!
After our dancing and crafting, let’s sit in a circle and share what we’ve learned about time.

And that’s just the beginning of our adventure into the world of time! We have so many fun activities planned for our lesson. Remember, just like Ticky Tock, every moment is special, so let’s make the most of our time together!
