The four seasons in Britain are very different. Read about what Daniel and Fiona think about winter, spring, summer and autumn.

Daniel

   Autumn is very beautiful time of the year. The leaves on the trees go brown, red and yellow and they go down. I love to watch it! We play in the parks a lot but we wear warm clothes, because the days get cold. School starts again in autumn, at the beginning of September. I don’t like school!

   Summer is the time for me! School finishes in July and we can play in the parks all the time. Sometimes it is very hot. People are happier and they talk with their friends and go for a walk more. The days are very long. In July, for example, it gets dark only about 10 o’clock. It’s very difficult to go to sleep at night! Fiona

   It’s very cold in winter! Sometimes, we have a lot of snow and we can make snowmen. I don’t like winter because we can’t go for a walk very much. We wear thick clothes and in our house it sometimes gets cold. When we come home from school at 4 o’clock, it is already dark. I don’t like it at all! But there is one good thing about winter - Christmas!

   After the long winter, spring is great! There are new leaves on the trees and the birds start to sing.

We can go for long walks again and play in the park. The days are longer and it doesn’t get dark until about six o’clock. It’s much warmer but it rains a lot and the days are very windy.

The Colour Wheel

Have you ever thought about how colours are related? Why do some colour combinations look good and others don’t ?

According to Isaac Newton, white light consists of all the colours of the rainbow. Newton then arranged them in a circle of warm and cool categories.

Red, blue and yellow are the three primary colours on the colour wheel. By mixing two primary colours, we’ve got the secondary colours green, orange and purple.

Colours can also be harmonious or complementary. Complementary colours are directly opposite each other, like red and green. Harmonious colours sit next to each other on the wheel.

Famous artists and decorators have used the colour wheel to choose the right colours ever since then. Everyone agrees that colours can affect our feelings. A vibrant red, for example, is often associated with anger or danger, while yellow is a happy colour. Blue can make people feel calm; pastel pink, which is a gentle pink, sometimes makes them think of romance, and green is the colour of nature.

What’s your favourite colour? What do you associate it with?
