Want to find out about your children's Christmas? Why not get them to create a Xmas infographic, who came to visit? How many brussel sprouts did they eat? How many pigs-in-blankets? Which presents did they receive and how many of each?
Xmas Hits Through the Decades - Bar Chart.
Play the Youtube videos (links included with the PDF) and children must ask their classmates which is their favourite Xmas song, create the bar chart and then think of word problems about their findings.

Easter Egg - Shape, Pattern and Symmetry.
These gorgeous Ukrainian Easter eggs are super, you could look at what shapes can be seen? find lines of symmetry, and look for patterns.
Children could use shape to create their own Ukrainian egg.
Thanks to the lovely Beth Bennet for the idea below, use angles to create symmetrical patterns similar to the Ukrainian eggs.

Lots of questions here: Which store offers the best value? Which egg is the best value per grams. Prices can be downloaded as a PDF to use in class.
Easter - What is a Billion?
Why Doesn't the Easter Bunny use the Chimney
I love an infographic and the two below have lots of facts and figures about Easter and could be used in Numeracy or Literacy.

Egg and Choc Price Comparisons.
| eggandpouchdifferences.pdf |
Amazing how much you can save by buying an Easter egg compared to usual chocolates when compared in grams. How much do you save on each product? What is the percentage difference? Rank chocolates in order of amount saved. If you bought every egg as opposed to buying the alternative, how much in total would you save?

The Birth of a Snowflake.
A gorgeous time lapse movie, Snowtime is a 2-minute "microscopic time-lapse" by Vyacheslav Ivanov that captures the mesmerizing bloom of budding ice crystals in all their hexagonal glory. The ice crystal(s) in snowflakes owe their six-fold rotational symmetry to the hydrogen bonds in water molecules. As water freezes, water molecules bound to other water molecules crystallize into a hexagonal structure, where each point on the hexagon is an oxygen atom and each side of the hexagon is a hydrogen bonded to an oxygen. As freezing continues, more water molecules are added to this microscopic six-sided structure, causing it to grow in size into the six-sided macroscopic structure that we recognize as snow flakes.
Water's tendency to expand as it nears freezing – rather than condense, like most substances – is part of what lends its frozen crystal structure its unique shape. (It's also responsible for a number of water's unique properties, and why it's so essential to the existence of life.) Something to keep in mind the next time you're experimenting with good old H2O.
Complement with some stunning close-up photographs of snowflakes, here and here. (Some lovely pictures here)

This is a great video if you are looking at symmetry in nature, the resources below are mainly focused on this area.
