Rule: Nature through the year

In spring plants flower and birds come back from warmer countries. The longest day is around 21 June.

In autumn trees drop their leaves and fruits ripen. In winter some animals hibernate.

Example: A frog spends the winter in the mud at the bottom of a pond, a hedgehog sleeps in a pile of leaves.

Watch out: Not all animals sleep: hares, deer and blue tits stay active all winter.
