As part of their garden topic, Primary 2 have began researching and planning the creation of a “Minibeast Sanctuary” in the school Sensory Garden. They know that encouraging insects and other small animals to the\u00a0garden is good for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

So far, the children have used the Internet to investigate different Bug Hotel designs and read about the sorts of materials that could be used for encouraging a range of wildlife. They have also drawn diagrams of how they would like the minibeast hide to look.<\/p>\n

The boys and girls will scavenge for natural resources to make cosy crevices for the wildlife, although we would also appreciate donations of any of the resources listed below to help in the creation of the Bug Hotel.<\/p>\n

Small plant pots,\u00a0bamboo canes, clean bottles, some old building materials e.g bricks and drainage pipes. If you have any of these lying around your garden and would like to help us out, they would be much appreciated!\u00a0\"bug-hotel-information\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n
