The afternoon children recently found some interesting visitors in a corner of the Nursery garden as a family of snails appeared on our mural. We had some discussions about where they live and how we could look after them which led to the children deciding to make a bug hotel for any passing minibeasts.
\nThe children showed great teamwork and perseverance to help clear the area of weeds then they gathered together pieces of wood and found a basket in the garden to build their bug hotel which now looks very welcoming for all local bugs. This has become a great area of interest for the children who have been having regular checks to see if we have any visitors in their hotel. Well done boys and girls! You can see the difference in these photos that all your hard work has made.
