Mum, why do I need to put my gloves on before I go outside?
Because it’s freezing out there!!
Dad, why do I need to put sun cream on before I go to the beach?
Because it’s so sunny today, you don’t want to burn!
In the UK, we have four seasons and each one brings different weather:
Rain - heavy or showers
Wind - strong winds
Sun - lots or a little
Thunderstorms
Snow and ice
Animals in nature have special coats, to protect them from the weather, but humans don’t have special coats - we have to wear extra or different layers to protect us!
Summer - sun hats and sunglasses to protect our heads and skin from the sun, so we don’t get sunburnt or feel poorly from too much sun.
Autumn - waterproof warmer coats, wellingtons and umbrellas, to keep us dry so we don’t get wet and cold and poorly!
Winter - woolly hats, gloves, scarves and extra warm coats to keep us warm in the cold and stop our fingers from getting too cold, or ‘catching a cold’!
Spring - waterproof coats and some warm layers - the spring is warming up after winter, but there are still lots of showers and some chilly days, so we need to make sure we don’t get too soggy or cold!
In this activity, let’s look at different clothes and seasons to work out the best items to wear!
