​In science, we have continued with our topic,  ‘Seasons in the UK’. This week, we discussed all about the summer season, what it looks like and the signs of summer. We learnt that the summer months are July, August and September. In the  summer, the weather is  usually warm and sometimes very hot.  There are more hours of day light which means it gets lighter earlier in the mornings and the evenings are lighter until later. Interestingly, we found out that summer falls in different months of the year in some countries such as Australia where the summer months are December, January, and February. This is because of the location of a country in the world. The closer a country is to the equator, the hotter the temperature. We had fun talking about the activities we engage in during the summer, such as going to the seaside to build sandcastles, having picnics and lots of ice cream!
Also, as it is our sports day next week! we have been working extremely hard to develop our skills in every event. We are looking forward to trying our best in each of these events, seeing our friends and family cheer us on on the day and having an amazing time!
