All About Spring
Spring is one of the four seasons. It is the season that comes after winter. Spring starts on 20th March
and ends on 21st June. Spring is the season when we change our clocks forward one hour. We often
have a mixture of sunny and rainy days.
What happens to the animals?
Animals such as hedgehogs, grass snakes, lizards, adders, frogs and toads come out of hibernation
on the first warm spring days. You might see frogspawn, which looks like jelly.
Some animals move about a lot more in spring, such as squirrels. You can see squirrels scampering
about, looking for food and climbing trees.
There are also lots of migrant birds that come back to the UK in the spring. You can see swifts,
cuckoos and nightingales.
Hibernation: A time when animals rest and save their energy for the warmer months.
Migrant birds: birds that go to a warmer country for the winter
What happens to the plants and the insects?
Nature is very busy in spring and there are lots of changes. You can see the trees and bushes sprout
new leaves again in spring and many plants flower because the air and soil are warmer and there are
more daylight hours.
Many more insects can be spotted in spring, including butterflies and bees, which like the flowers.

Easter
Easter is a celebration that happens in spring in the northern hemisphere. It started as a religious
festival and now many people celebrate it with chocolate eggs, games or an Easter egg hunt. Easter
Sunday always falls on a day between 22nd March and 25th April.
