Spring is a season. There are four
seasons in a year, spring, summer,
autumn and winter. Each season is
marked by different weather and
hours of daylight.
We have seasons because the earth
takes a year to move round the sun,
which gives us light and warmth, and
because the earth tilts at an angle of
23.5 degrees. In winter we tilt away
from the sun and in the summer we
tilt further towards the sun.
However, on the first day of spring
the sun shines equally on both the
north and south hemispheres of the
Earth.

Why do Plants Begin to Grow in Spring?
Plants need water, light, warmth and soil or
compost to grow.
During spring they get the conditions they
need to begin to grow. The showery weather
gives them the water they need. The longer
days mean they have more daylight and
warmth from the Sun which raises the
temperature of both air and soil.

Spring Weather
The weather in spring can be mixed. The end
of March is often windy and April is known
for its showery weather followed by sunshine.
Right up to the end of May or into June
spring nights can be frosty and cold. Days can
be sunny and warm.

Calves are Born
When it is spring many animals and birds have their
babies. They need to have their young when there is
lots of food available and when the longer days
mean that they have longer to find food for their
young.
The warmer days and regular rainfall during spring
means plants such as grass grow well. The lush,
young grass in the fields mean the cow is well fed
and can produce lots of milk for her calf.

The Story of a Great Tit Nest
Spring is the time that birds build their nests and
have their chicks.
They know that the days are beginning to get
warmer and longer and that there will be plenty of
food for their young. As the days get longer the
parent birds have more time to hunt for food for
their growing chicks.
