Wasp Nest

Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show the class. Here is my descriptive writing about the nest. We used our seven writing prompts that are shape, size, position, number, colour, texture and  doing to help us describe. Here is my writing.

Wasp Nest

Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show everyone . He had found it while picking raspberries in his garden.

The wasp nest is crumbly and dry and it still had a live wasp in it when we cut it open. Where the wasp had hatched you can see the cells are hexagon shaped. A cell is a place where a wasp would lay an egg. The outer shell of the nest feels like very thin, dry cardboard that is rough and jagged. The cells that are joined together are called combs which are joined together with mud that we call pillars. The wasp nest  feels like thin paper but is actually made out of wood from a fence or house. When we opened up the nest there were loads of dead wasps. They had also made the nest out of straw. The wasps built the nest around a rock. You can see the hole where the wasps would have came in and out from the nest. The cells look like the inside of a cardboard box. I accidently broke the nest but now we can see how its built. Now and then a wasp will hatch out of one of the cells and scare the whole class. The colour of the wasp nest is light brown. We left the wasp nest outside and more wasps hatched. It is shaped like a ball.  There are more than one hundred cells in the nest.

In conclusion I think that wasps are pests and I hate them!
