• Say the temperature with the word 'degrees'.

Clothing According to Seasons and Weather

We wear different clothes because the weather changes every day. In summer the sun is hot, so we choose light clothes. In winter it is cold and windy, so we wear warm clothes. Our clothes keep us comfortable and healthy.

Weather tells us the air outside at a certain moment. Sunny and warm weather is good for light clothes. Rainy, snowy or windy weather needs special clothes that keep us dry and warm.

Seasons and Their Clothes

There are four seasons in a year. Every season has its own weather and its own clothes. We must not wear the same clothes in every season.

• Summer is the hottest season. We wear a T-shirt, shorts, a skirt and sandals.
• Autumn is cool and rainy. We wear a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and a thin jacket.
• Winter is the coldest season. We wear a sweater, a coat, trousers, boots and a scarf.
• Spring is warm but windy. We wear a light cardigan and a raincoat.

In autumn and in spring the weather changes quickly. That is why we always keep a light cardigan in our bag at school.

Weather and Clothes

Sometimes the weather is different inside the same season. That is why we look at the sky before we get dressed in the morning.

Example

Amy looks at the window. It is snowing and very cold outside. What should she wear today?

1. First, she thinks about the weather. Snowy weather is cold winter weather.
2. Second, she chooses a sweater and a coat. They keep her body warm.
3. Third, she protects her head, her hands and her feet with a hat, gloves and boots.
4. Last, she puts on her scarf and goes out. Now she is ready for the cold day.
