Day light savings


Daylight savings. What is it?
               
By Jordan

The end of daylight savings is a time when you turn your clock back one hour so that means it's one hour earlier than normal time, for example 4:00pm goes back one hour and changes to 3:00pm.

There is also less sunshine it turns dark by 6:30pm to 7:00pm so it might be sunny by 6:00am or 6:30am.

I like when it's the end of daylight savings because I like it when it's dark and it is colder in the morning, it gets colder quicker.    

Daylight savings started in 1927 by a man who farmed insects so he thought that the days were too short so he gave a proposal to the government to turn back the clocks one hour,so that's how daylight savings began.  Many farmers in Awarua did not turn their clocks back at first. They did not want to change their clocks.

Did you know New Zealand was one of the first countries to have added daylight savings, daylight savings ended on Sunday, April 3 by 3:00 AM and it starts back up on September 25, 2:00 AM on Sunday.
