Time Passes Will You? Wall display for your classroom clock!

This great little resource is designed to be printed off and stuck around your classroom clock as a motivational aid :-) The resource is supplied in PowerPoint and can be edited. I have left the blue circle guide in, just in case you want to customise it further, but I would recommend deleting the circles before printing. I have added the image to the right to show off a different design - my version should wrap around your clock once you have printed it off in either A3 or A4. Have fun and enjoy! Kind Regards Roy
