The children and staff in the Raindrop Room are continuing to develop their new environment and recently began work on a bug hotel. Some of the children remembered making the bug hotel earlier in the year in the Rainbow Room garden and were keen to make one for their new garden. We think that they must have made a good job of their hotel as we have seen so many ladybirds in their garden over the last week. Let’s hope that the ladybirds tell all their friends about this super hotel.
Here are a few quotes from the children and photos of them busy at work making their new bug hotel.
Anthony: I put water on the cardboard. It made it wet for the bugs. I don’t like spiders.
Finlay: we made houses for ladybugs. We used bricks and sticks.
Matthew: we made a home for all the bugs. We used sticks, bricks, straw and cardboard. The bricks have lots of holes in for the bugs to live in.
Alisha: we made a home for the bugs. I’m rolling the box up for the bugs to sleep in. I love bugs. Purple bugs are my favourite.
Emily B.: we made a home for the bugs. We put straw in it. It keeps them warm.
Archie: we made a bug hotel. Bugs like little holes to live in. I put damp cardboard in the holes so it was wet for the bugs.
