Tamzin (in year 6) brought in this huge wasps nest. It was found in the loft a a house her Dad was working on.
The close up photo below shows a small part of this incredible structure. The perfect hexagons fit together beautifully to form a strong bond. Wasps lay their eggs in each of the hexagons.
The whole nest is made from very thin strips of wood which the wasps get from trees, fences or sheds around our houses or gardens.
It really shows the wonder of nature and that wasps must be brilliant at maths!
