Inspired by Captain Hook’s ticking crocodile

Inspired by Captain Hook’s ticking crocodile, we had a blast getting creative with time.

Equipped with tree branches, twine, pens and tools, the children created their own unique clocks.

What an amazing opportunity of hands-on learning and adventure! ?⏰?
