A Stunning Visitor in Kiwi!

This little critter was found in one of our cubbyholes early one morning.  We don't come across stick insects very often so we were all very interested.  Some of us were brave enough to carefully hold it and even let it wander along our arm and onto our back, neck, head and even our FACE!  

We were very intrigued with watching it walk and stand still, camouflaging like a stick.  We have recently learn about 'habitats' so several children brainstormed what a stick insect habitat may look like, then created it in a plastic box. 

Two additional children wanted to know what the stick insect ate so used the iPad then the computer to conduct further research.  They are currently putting the results of their research onto a poster to share with us.  Watch this space for the finished product!
