Every day has a morning, a noon and a night. Things in our day happen in order.
Morning, noon and night
First, next, last
Things in my day happen in order:
I brush my teeth before school. I eat lunch after school starts.
A long time or a short time?
Some things take a short time: a clap, a blink, putting on a sock.
Some things take a long time: sleeping all night, a school day, a long car ride.
Try it: clap once. Now count how many claps you can do while an adult sings a song.

Maths words
Say these words with an adult. Can you use each one in a sentence?
morning · noon · night · before · after · first · next · last · long time · short time
Try it at home
- Make a picture timetable of your day and put it on the fridge.
- At bedtime, tell the day in order: first, next, then, last.
- Guess and check: is brushing your teeth a long time or a short time? Sing a song while you do it.
For parents and teachers
After this lesson, your child should be able to:
- put three or four daily events in the right order
- say whether an activity happens in the morning, at noon or at night
- compare two activities and say which takes a longer or a shorter time
Use your own family routine. Telling the time on a clock and days of the week are taught later, so focus on order and comparing durations.
Accept pointing, speaking, signing or communication aids. An adult can scribe. Observe the hands-on work as well as the Quick check; the badge records supported completion only.
