  • State that the seasonal pattern repeats every year

The lesson

Weather changes as the seasons change. Every year, there are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter.

SpringSummerAutumnWinter
The seasons go in this order, then start again.

Spring brings rain and new growth. Summer is warm, with long, sunny days. Autumn is cooler, and leaves fall. Winter is the coldest, with short days.

Summer has more hours of daylight than winter.
Good to know

Every year, the seasons repeat in the same order. After winter, spring comes back again.

The four seasons repeat every year, each with different weather.
