What Happens in Autumn?

• Autumn is one of the four seasons. It is


the season that comes after summer.
• During autumn, the days get shorter
and there is less sunlight. This is
because the sun is further away from
the Northern Hemisphere. During this
time it will be Spring in the Southern
Hemisphere.
• The days start to get colder because of
the sunlight being weaker.
• Leaves start to turn different colours
and fall off the trees.
• Animals begin storing food for the
winter.
• Many festivals are celebrated and food
is harvested.
What is the weather like in
Autumn?
•The temperature drops.
•The weather gets colder and more windy
and rainy.
• The hours of daylight and the hours of
night are the same. The days become
shorter.
•The weather changes all the time.

•Since the weather is cool outside


in autumn, people have to bundle up. It
means they have wear warm clothes.
What Happens to the Trees?
During autumn, the leaves on trees turn bright colours and fall off their
branches. This is how it happens:
• Leaves have chlorophyll which turns them green. Without chlorophyll,
leaves start to turn to such colours as orange, red or yellow. The leaves
need sunlight and water to produce food that is then stored inside the
leaf.
• There isn’t enough sunlight in autumn to produce any food, so the
leaves start to lose chlorophyll and turn orange, red or yellow.
• When all the stored food has gone, the leaves start to die and turn
brown. When they have died they fall off the trees.
What do the leaves do when the
wind blows through them?
The leaves rustle when

the wind blows through

them. It’s the sound that

they make. It’s like

they’re rubbing and

crunching against each

other.
