Hmm, what shall I wear today?
...I don’t know, what’s the weather going to be like?
Every day the weather is different and all year round the weather is changing, depending on the season.
The Earth spins around the sun and this is why we have the different seasons and weather we experience.
In the autumn and the winter, the Earth is tilted away from the sun, so we get colder and wetter weather with shorter, darker days.
In the spring and the summer, the Earth is tilted toward the sun, so we get warmer, sunnier weather, with lighter, longer days.
We have different clothes to wear to help protect us and keep us happy and healthy in the different seasons.
Humans aren’t as lucky as other animals, whose coats of fur or feathers grow thick in the winter to keep them warm! And they shed their hair in the summer to help them keep cool.
Our coats are, well… rain coats!
In the autumn and winter, we need to wear clothes that keep us warm and dry, such as woolly hats, wellington boots, scarves and carry umbrellas.
In the summer, we need to wear clothes that keep us cool and protected from the sun, such as sun hats, t-shirts and sun cream.
The twins, Jill and Jesse, need help choosing their outfits for each season. Can you help them?
