Can you tell what time it is? Look at the clock, and then tell me.
The clock has a round face.
It has two hands.
We call the long hand the minute hand, for it tells the minutes.
We call the short hand the hour hand, for it tells the hours.
How many hours are there in a day? How many minutes in an hour?
If you listen, you can hear what the clock says. Tick, tack, tick, tack.
Our clock at school tells us many things. It tells us when to work and when to play.
