Today Olivia and Stephanie shared some great home learning.  Olivia made a fabulous poster about fantails and Stephanie made a mask and wrote a report about Kaka.

Here is Stephanie's report –

Olivia's Giving

On Friday Olivia shared her giving home learning challenge with us.  She went to an abandoned orchard and picked the apples to donate to the Salvation Army.  Well done Olivia, we are proud of your kind, caring actions.

Olivia's Paper Wasp Nest

Olivia Paper Wasp Nest from SPS Superstars on Vimeo.

Olivia brought a paper wasp nest to show us.  The wasp collects fibres, which it chews and mixes with saliva.  This makes the fibre extremely soft and moist.  After a period of chewing, the wasp adds the paste to the nest structure and spreads it out with her mandibles and legs.  After it thoroughly dries; a type of tough, durable paper is formed.
