The Seasons

This week we talked about the seasons.

First we did a puzzle about the seasons

Winter is in December, January and Februrary

Spring is in March, April and May

Summer is in June, July and August

and Autumn is in September, October, November

I asked the children what their favourite season is and why.

Then we looked at the distance between New Zealand and Spain, and we compared the seasons in New Zealand to Spain, it is VERY far away and all the seasons are the OPPOSITE!

Look at the map:

In New Zealand it is Summer in December, January and February 

In New Zealand it is Autumn in March, April and May 

In New Zealand it is Winter in June, July and August 

In New Zealand it is Spring in September, October, November 

 So as you can see it is all the opposite! 

We had a listen to a great song about the seasons, we talked about the "Fall" which is the same as Autumn.

In America they say "Fall" because what falls in Autumn? The leaves from the trees!

Here is the song:

On 25 December it is CHRISTMAS, and here in Spain it is WINTER.

But in New Zealand it is SUMMER!

So on Christmas day, we go to the beach and are outside in the sun.

Santa gets hot when he comes to New Zealand so sometimes he goes to the beach:

And sometimes Santa goes surfing!!!
