TEMPLE NORMANTON PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our school is 15 miles south of Sheffield in the

county of Derbyshire.

Our Country We live in the U.K. We live in the country of England. Our school is in the county of Derbyshire. We have four seasons: spring, summer,

autumn and winter. It is winter at the moment, so it is cold. Here it gets light about 7.30am and goes

dark at 5pm at the moment. It will be lighter for longer in summer.

Sometimes it snows in winter.

In spring the flowers start to grow again.

Summer can be warm and sunny.

In autumn the leaves change colour and fall off the trees.
