Seasons

There are four seasons which I am going to tell you about

Summer features in December,January and February.
it's the hottest time of the year with temperatures of
up to around 35 degrees celsius.

Autumn arrives in March and departs in May.It's my
favourite season because the leaves on some trees turn
different colours like gold and red.

Brrr!It's winter time and it's very cold
Winter comes in June and goes in August. Many lakes get
frozen over at times because it's so cold

Ahh! it's Spring time and all the flowers start to bloom.
Even better!Animals are starting to come out of hibernation
Spring comes in September and stays until November.

Seasons come and Seasons go although I wish Summer would stay

Seasons

There are lots of different temperatures in different seasons like hot,cold and windy.
Some peoples favorite seasons are Summer and Winter.

Seasons can have different types of weather.Like it could be really,really hot and some can be horribly wet and rainy.

It can be a bit weird because when it is Summer it can be rainy and when its Winter it can be hot.

Seasons can be good and bad.It does depend on the weather and who you are.For example, in Summer, farmers might want rain while holiday-maker want sunshine all day long.

There are four different seasons,Summer,Autumn, Winter & Spring.


Summer

Summer is the hottest season. It goes through from the end of the year to the start of the next year. The Summer months are December, January & February. In Summer the days are longer so you can do sports like swimming, korfball, cricket, t-ball etc.

Autumn

Autumn is the season when the temperature goes lower & the leaves change colour & fall to the ground. The days get shorter & nights longer. The Autumn months are March, April & May. In Autumn people start to wear long sleeve tops & even scarves.

Winter

Winter is the coldest season. the temperature goes even lower & the days shorter. The Winter months are June, July & August. In Winter people wear: beanies, scarves, long socks & gloves. In Winter you can play sports like: netball, soccer, hockey & rugby.

Spring

Spring is the time when the sun & flowers come out & you get ready for Summer. The Spring months are September, October & November. In Spring you can start to play Summer sports.

All the Seasons have their own speciality. All are different, but all are great.

The seasons!

                                                  Summer!!!

                In summer you can do lots of stuff because it is hot.

                You can go to the beach. You can also buy Ice creams and ice blocks.

                 You can sunbath at the beach too.

                                                Winter!!!!!

                In winter its very cold. Sometimes there is fog. In Romania it snows

                 everyday, but here in New zealand it does not. And the best thing about

                snow is that you can play a sorts of games. Like snow fights, making snow-mans

                 and more.

                                               Autumn!

              In autumn leaves fall off trees.

              Sometimes in autumn we go with some friends to the park.

            

                                              Spring!

              In spring my mum my grandma and I plant some vegetables 

               in our garden. We have to water the plants every single day.

               They need sun and water to grow.

                             Most people like summer because its warm 

                                          and you can do lots of things.

 

Seasons

There are four different seasons, Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring. Some are hot and some are cold.

SUMMER
The months in summer are December, January and February. In summer you can go swimming, play volleyball and go water-skiing.

AUTUMN
The months in autumn are March, April and May. In autumn you have to do the raking.People like me don't like doing the raking.

WINTER
The months in winter are June, July and August. In winter you can go skiing, play in the snow, play hockey and netball.

SPRING
The months in spring are September, October and November. In spring you start to play summer sports and the flowers come up. Spring ROXS because its super close to summer.


I like summer and spring.Summer because it is warm and we can swim outside and spring because it is close to summer so we can do those things again.

Seasons

There are four season they are called Summer Winter Autumn & spring.

Summer is when it is hot. It goes through December January & February. It is a good time to play cricket t-ball croquet and tennis.

 

autumn goes through march April and may. In Autumn the leaves fall from the trees to the ground. But the weather is colder then Summer.

Winter it is really cold. people like winter because they can play lots of sports like rugby soccer hockey and Grid-iron. people like to go skiing in winter too.

spring is  when it is warmer and plants grow and people can go swimming and play cricket

people like summer as a favourite season because people can play lots of sports and it is hot.

  

Seasons

Everyone is involved in four fantastic seasons.

They are called Summer,Autumn,Winter and Spring.

Summer is very hot everyday and days start to get longer as the night starts to get shorter.

You can swim play sports and other stuff that involve the outdoors.

Summer months are December,January and February.

Autumn weather starts to get colder,so everyone has to wear long sleeves and sometimes you might even have to wear a scarf.Autumn months are March,April and May.

Winter is completely cold everyday.That's why loads of people wear long sleeves,gloves,beanies and don't forget jerseys.Some of the sports you can play are ski-ing , netball,rugby and soccer.No of course you can't go swimming ,who would?. Winter months are June,July and August.

Spring starts to get warmer and daylight saving starts.People can start swimming again and play those fun sports.The sports you can play are volley ball,padder tennis,cricket and t-ball.Spring months are September,October and November.

All seasons have their own speciality in them but although all of them have their own speciality I still like Spring because the flowers bloom and the animals give birth to their babies or new borns.

Seasons

There are four different seasons,all with different personalities.

Summer is quite hot sometimes over 30 degrees in Australia

and daylight saving starts. You can do loads of things in summer

like play cricket,T-ball and go swimming.

Autumn is the season when it gets colder than before. You see

leaves on the ground and they change colours. You can't do

as much outside really in Autumn because its such a gloomy-

season.

Winter is the coldest season amongst all of the seasons.You can't do as much

outside in winter,but you can play netball,soccer and rugby.The nights are

longer in winter.

Spring is the most graceful season out of all. Many animals lay there eggs or

give birth to their babies in this season.

Many people likes spring as their favorite season because its mild and cool.

Seasons

There are four unique seasons, all different from each other.
Summer, Winter, Autumn, and Spring.
In Summer,the days grow longer and the nights shorter. The temperature rises and there are lots of things to do, such as swimming, surfing, going to the beach, and eating ice cream.
In Summer, there is daylight savings too.

That means we get more daylight hours.
In Autumn, it gets colder and the leaves turn brown, red and orange.
Lots of leaves fall and it's fun to jump in them.
In this special season, you can play lots of leaf games. Unlike Summer, the days are shorter and the nights are longer.
This is because it is nearly winter.

In Winter, it is just like Autumn, but much, much colder. Sometimes, there is frost on the grass. Children start to play inside.
They just draw, read, write or play with toys.
When you go out, parents are firm about keeping warm. The clothes you should be warmer with big coats or scarves.

In Spring, flowers bloom and animals give birth to their young. The days are just like Summer and the clothes get cooler. It's the perfect season for flower picking, tag, or even swimming.

Some people enjoy Autumn because of all the leaves.
Seasons are truly wonderful.

Seasons

There are four different seasons
Every season his different weather,
there is hot weather,warm weather,cold weather and freezing weather.

Summer is a very warm season. It is a great time of the year to play sport. IT is also the best time to go to the beach. In summer people like to wear shorts and a t-shirt.


Autumn is the time of year when all the leaves start to change colour and fall off the trees.

Seasons

There are four different seasons in the year. There are Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Spring is a season when flowers grow. It is a season when animals have babies. It has a mild weather. You can wear cooler clothes than in winter.

Summer is the hottest season of all. You can play sports like cricket, t-ball, volleyball and you can also go swimming. You wear shorts and t-shirts. The temperature is above 20 degrees celcius.

Autumn is the time of the year when leaves fall of trees. They also change colour first. The days get short and the nights get a longer. The temperature is normally below 22 degrees celcius.

Winter is the coldest season of all. You can play sports like soccer and hockey. You wear long sleeves and long pants. The temperature is normally below 17 degrees celcius.

Seasons are very interesting because they all have something different and you can do different things.
