Dave knows all about the seasons. He said to his friend Rob, "There are two seasons in a year. The football season and the cricket season!"

Rob thinks that Dave is wrong. He is certain that there are more than two seasons.

Rob is right!

There are four seasons: autumn, winter, spring and summer.

 

In autumn, the amount of time it is light becomes less, the leaves start to change colour and fall off the trees.

In winter, we have colder weather, sometimes snow and frost, the trees have no leaves and the amount of time it is light during the day is at its shortest.

In spring, the weather usually turns warmer, trees begin to grow their leaves, plants start to flower and young animals such as chicks and lambs are born.
