The reading text:

The Seasons

It's spring. The sky is blue and the trees are green. Our garden is full of flowers. Outside it's warm and the wind blows slowly. The sun is on the sky.

It's summer. It's hot. The children are swimming in the lake. There are no clouds on the sky. The days are long and sunny. The nights are warm and starry. It's holiday and children are happy.

It's autumn. The school begins. It's raining. It's a chilly weather. The wind blows all day and the sky is grey. But there are lots of fruit and vegetables.

It's winter. It's cold and everything is white. It's snowing a lot. The children are skiing, sleighing and skating. They are playing with the snow. They are making snowmen and are playing with snowballs. Children love winter.

The season poem:

Weather

Weather is hot,
Weather is cold,
Weather is changing
As the weeks unfold.

Skies are cloudy,
Skies are fair,
Skies are changing
In the air.

It is raining,
It is snowing,
It is windy
With breezes blowing.

Days are foggy,
Days are clear,
Weather is changing
Throughout the year!
