November gets its name from the Latin word for nine as it used to be the ninth month of the year. After changing the clocks at the end of October, we have a bit more light in the mornings in November but it gets dark very early in the evening. Sunset is between 4 and 5 o’clock in the afternoon. The weather starts to get chilly and some days are windy or rainy. There is even a chance of snow and ice. The leaves turn brown and fall off the trees. Some animals, for example, bats and hedgehogs, go into a deep sleep for the winter in order to save energy. This is called hibernation.

October gets its name from the Latin word for eight, as it used to be the eighth month of the year. During this month, we really start to notice that the days are getting shorter. For some people, it’s still dark when they get up in the morning and we have to turn the lights on earlier and earlier in the evening. At the end of October, we put the clocks back one hour so we get more light in the morning but then it gets dark even earlier in the evening.
In October, the days get shorter. It’s still dark in the morning when I wake up and I have to turn the lights on early in the evening. At the end of October, we change the clocks by one hour so we get more light in the morning.
September gets its name from the Latin word for seven. It’s actually the ninth month of the year but it used to be the seventh before the Romans changed their calendar over two thousand years ago.
The start of the September is often still warm, like summer, but then the weather begins to change. Days are usually cooler, there is more wind and rain, and it gets dark earlier every day. The 22nd or 23rd is officially the first day of autumn.

Harvest Festival (or Harvest Thanksgiving) is a day when people celebrate and give thanks for the harvest. This is the time when farmers collect the crops from the fields. In churches, it is usually held on the Sunday nearest the harvest moon. A harvest moon is the full moon nearest to the autumn equinox. This year, the harvest moon is on the night of 24th-25th September and the harvest festival is on Sunday 23rd, but not everyone celebrates it on the same day.
