Seasons And The Clothes We Wear Last lesson we looked at your favourite season. Today we are going to look at what clothes we wear in different seasons. Let’s start off by singing another song about seasons if you can. It’s called Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere, that means this is the part of the world where we live, under the equator line. The other half of the world is the Northern Hemisphere.

If you can watch and sing, Seasons in the Southern Hemisphere.
