- Join some of your words together to make sentences and word pairs. Make a poem using these – remember how to set out a poem and try to use alliteration and some rhyme.
- Notice that the number six appears in each crystal. Look carefully at the images – can you find any examples of that number? Make your own snow crystal design. You can also use a computer to help with this. Try starting with a hexagon in the middle of your design.
