"Welcome to Autumn!"

Let's learn about the autumn!

1.  Autumn is one of the four seasons. Autumn in 2014 starts today,  23rd September and it will finish 22nd  December, when winter begins. 

2.  It is the transition from summer into winter. 

3.  The weather also begins to get colder and many plants stop making food. Autumn is the time when deciduous trees shed their leaves. The leaves change from green to red, orange, yellow or brown before falling.

4.  Many animals begin to prepare for the winter by storing food in their nests and dens or fat on their bodies.

5.  In autumn, there is less sunlight because the days are shorter.

6.  Pumpkins are a big crop during Autumn.  They are used for pies, soups and Jack-o-Lanterns on Halloween.

7.  Many animals begin to grow warmer coats to prepare for the cold weather following Autumn.
