The Four Seasons and Weather
Throughout the year, weather cycles through four distinct seasons: blooming spring, warm sunny summer, rainy monsoon, and chilly winter.
Why it matters. Understanding seasons helps children describe weather changes and plan daily outdoor activities.

- Observe spring: fresh green leaves and colourful flowers blossom everywhere.
- Feel summer: hot bright sunshine and cool dips in the water.
- Notice monsoon: dark clouds bringing raindrops and cool breezes.
- Enjoy winter: crisp chilly air where sitting in warm sunshine feels comforting.
Try at home. Look at the sky today and name which season matches your local weather.
Clothes for Every Season
We choose different fabrics and clothes depending on the weather: breathable cotton in summer and warm wool in winter.
Why it matters. Learning about seasonal attire helps children dress comfortably and understand cultural clothing traditions.
Try it in two minutes
- Wear light cotton frocks, t-shirts, and shorts during warm summer months.
- Wear woollen sweaters, mufflers, and caps during chilly winter days.

Monsoon Rhymes and Rain Sounds
Rain rhymes celebrate the sound of falling droplets, splashing puddles, and floating paper boats down little streams.
Why it matters. Sound words and rhymes help young readers hear rhythm and poetic patterns in the English language.
Try it in two minutes
- Tap your fingers gently on a table to mimic 'pitter-patter' raindrops.
- Recite: 'Rain on the green grass, rain on the trees, rain on the rooftops...'.
