Pause the film on the clock face at 15 seconds.

Pause the film as the girl looks out of the window?
Who is the girl? What is her job? What type of dancer is she?
What is the name of the wheels inside the clock?
Pause the film as the girls leaves the doors at 43 seconds
What has happened? How is the town different now? How does this make us feel? What colour sky could make
us happy?
Pause the film when the little girl tries to make the balloon move.
Why did the balloon turn green when she touched it? How can she make the colour come back into the world?
Pause the film until the end.
What makes the colour in the world? What is the little girl’s job? What happens when the clock in the clock
tower stops?
How do you think the little girl feels dancing in the tower all day? Which other jobs might people have that

It is World Emoji Day on the 17th July. Did you know that Emojis were invented by Japanese designer Shigetaka
Kurita in 1999. They were made in order to make communication easier within limited text fields - the same
reason we still use them today! Kurita was just 25 years old when he invented emojis.
What are the most popular emojis??
1. Face with tears of joy
2. Red heart
3. Smiling face with heart eyes
4. Thumbs up
5. Hand waving
What are some of your favourite emojis and which ones do you use most often?
To celebrate World Emoji Day, we would like to create your own emoji that could be used by people across the
world. This can be a face, an object, activity etc. Get those creativity fingers working!
