Morning Starters: Summer 1 - Four Seasons
Did You Know?
Autumn transforms British landscapes with falling leaves and ripening fruits. Trees shed their leaves to conserve energy, creating a crunchy carpet on the ground. Animals prepare for the colder months: squirrels store nuts, hedgehogs eat extra amounts of food to build up fat, and birds migrate to warmer climates. This season of change offers animals the opportunity to survive the coming winter months.
