Spring is a season. There are four seasons in a year,

spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season is marked by different weather and hours of daylight.
We have seasons because the earth takes a year to move round the sun, which gives us light and warmth, and because the earth tilts at an angle of 23.5 degrees. In winter we tilt away from the sun and in the summer we tilt further towards the sun. However, on the first day of spring the sun shines equally on both the north and south hemispheres of the Earth.

Calves are Born

When it is spring many animals and birds have

their babies. They need to have their young when there is lots of food available and when the longer days mean that they have longer to find food for their young.
The warmer days and regular rainfall during spring means plants such as grass grow well. The lush, young grass in the fields mean the cow is well fed and can produce lots of milk for her calf.
