Autumn
In autumn, the leaves on the trees change colour. The leaves turn yellow, orange, and red. The weather starts to get cooler, and you need a sweater. People pick apples and pumpkins. There are many special holidays in Autumn.
Winter
Winter is the coldest season. You can sometimes see snow falling from the sky. People wear warm coats, scarves, and socks. There are no leaves on the trees anymore. You can build a fire or drink hot chocolate to keep yourself warm.
Spring
Spring comes after winter. The days get longer, and the weather becomes warmer. Flowers bloom, and trees grow new leaves. Some people take photos of all the flowers. It’s a great time for picnics in the park, too.
