 Winter is one of the four
seasons.
 It starts on the 21st of December
and ends on the 20th of March.
 Winter brings cold weather
and shorter days.
4
 The four seasons are a result of
the Earth tilting on its axis. The
earth is tilted toward and away
from the sun at different times of
the year.
 So we have the seasons of
Spring, Summer, Autumn and
Winter.
5
 The polar regions are very,
very cold during Winter. The
sun does not rise for weeks
or even months at a time.
6
 In the Northern Hemisphere, winter
begins on the 21st December and
ends on the 20th March. December
21st is the shortest day of the year.
 The Northern Hemisphere includes
all the countries North of the equator.
7
 In the Southern Hemisphere,
winter begins on the 21st June
and ends on the 20th
September.
 The Southern Hemisphere
includes all the
countries South
of
the equator.

We expect the
weather to be
 chilly
 windy
 rainy and
stormy
9
 We wear warm
and thick
clothing.
 We wear…
coats, scarves,
hats, mittens,
boots.
10
 We eat more energy
giving food during
the cold weather.
 Hot soups and
puddings are
delicious.
11
 We heat our
home to make
it more cosy
and
comfortable.

And we all
dream of
making a
snowman and
having fun on
the snow!

 Deciduous trees
shed their leaves in
winter.
 Evergreen trees
keep their leaves all
the year round.
18
 Hibernation is the time when
some animals fall into a deep
sleep or rest for the Winter.
 When the weather turns cold
they find caves, burrows and
other places to keep warm.
19
 When winter comes to an end,
the days become warmer. The
animals start to come out of
hibernation.
 They leave their caves, dens,
burrows or where they have
been sleeping and go
outside.
 They are much thinner.
They begin to look for food.
20
 When cold weather approaches,
ladybirds hide in many different
places. They hide under loose tree
bark, in old trees, in corners of
wooden sheds.
 When the weather warms up in the
springtime, ladybirds become active
again. Many ladybirds can be found
in the garden on plants and flowers.
They can often be seen in clusters on
fences.

22
 Migration is the movement of some
animals, usually in large groups, from
one home to another.
 They get out of cold areas when
winter is coming. By going to warmer
countries, they are able to find food
and stay warm.
 If they could not do this,
they would probably die.
23
Winter has many wonderful
holidays celebrated
around the world.

 Children and adults
send or give cards,
gifts, flowers and
sweets to their
family and friends.
 It is a special time to
tell those around
you how much you
care about them.
28
It is the time for
laughter, food
and...
fun!

In February,
we celebrate
the feast of
Saint Paul, one
of our national
feasts.
