Days of the week and times of the day
A day goes in order: morning, lunchtime, afternoon, then night time. We wake up and eat breakfast in the morning, eat lunch at lunchtime, get picked up from school in the afternoon, and go to bed at night time. A week has 7 days, always in the same order: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday to Friday are school days; Saturday and Sunday are the weekend. After Sunday the week goes round to Monday again. Yesterday is the day before today and tomorrow is the day after. To find the day in 3 days, put your finger on today and jump 3 times: today does not count.
