Platypuses or Platypi?


What do you call two platypuses?
Whether it is platypi or platypuses, ‘E” (Grade 6) just finished making two. One is papier mache, but the other is a cardboard construction.
Once they were done, they looked awfully hungry, so he made some grass for them to munch on  - all part of an art project he is calling “things I like.”



Papier Mache has been in full swing lately, taking the place of clay, since the clay center closed to prepare for the end of the quarter. The pink discs on the bottom shelf here are butterfly wings, made from tissue stretched tight over wire - an innovation by "W," grade 6.
