Hurry up, Two! If we don't catch the train, we might miss the talent show.

But it's such a lovely day! Just give me a second.

A second, how long is a second? A moment to start, a beat of the heart. A step on the way A second, stop for a second. The sun is up high, straight up in the sky. Today is my day We'll ride the train to the edge of the sea Where we'll dance together, my best friend and me But for now...

Come on, we have to go!

A moment, I'll only take a moment The day is too fine, so I'll take my time for a moment For time is a train on a one-way track And this is a moment I won't get back.

No, it's nearly 1 o'clock! We have to catch our train!

Oh no, we're too late!

Oh! If I can stop the clock, maybe I can stop the train.

That's not how it works! You...

Whoa!

Yes! And the big thing to remember... is that Sixty is...

(song starts)

Roll out the big band to explain the big hand, look close at the clock and you'll see. Between every number are five little marks, so come along and count them with me!

One minute, two minutes, three, four, five! One lot of five is five! Then here come five more, and the big hand arrives at...

Two lots of five are...

...ten! Ten minutes! As we reach number three, it's easy to see:

Three lots of five are...

...fifteen! The secret is counting in fives, that's the key...

Four lots of five are...

...twenty! Whilst the minute hand dances the minutes advance...

Five lots of five...

...twenty-five! You can work out the minutes you need at a glance...

Six lots of five are...

...thirty! Now the hour's half passed, so we move up at last...

Seven lots of five are...

...thirty-five! Counting in fives, you can work it out fast...

Eight lots of five are...

...forty! Keep on and keep going, there's no time for slowing...

Nine lots of five...

...forty-five! Five at a time's how these numbers are growing!

Ten lots of five are...

...fifty! Come on now and rock all the way round this clock...

Eleven lots of five...

...fifty-five! At sixty we stop, 'cause we're back to the top!

Then we start again all over from zero!

While minutes raced around the face...

The hour hand moved on one place...

And if you put both hands together, reading one and then the other. You can tell the time!
