We have FINALLY erected our very own bug hotel near our bee garden! Phew! Huge thanks go to Mrs Wagner for putting it all together! Now we need to fill it full of things that our bugs would love to live in.
If each child could please bring 1 pinecone OR an empty toilet roll OR a handful of straw OR part of an empty egg carton OR a small piece of wood (or something close to these) then everyone will be able to contribute to filling our buy hotel.
Our school has a bug house down by the butterfly garden which we will also be dismantling later this term with Mrs McCormack so anything we don’t use in our hotel will be used down at the house.
We will also be planting out our Room 8’s “Bee Friendly Garden” within the next week or so. As you can see the students have had a great go at weeding, now we will add compost and then plant some seedlings. If you have any flower seedlings that you are willing to donate to our garden that would be greatly appreciated!
Dear Room 8,
ReplyDeleteWow! I like your idea about making a Bug Hotel and a Bee Garden.
What sort of plants do bees like? I saw lots of bees in my garden today around the Pohutukawa tree that is flowering.
Have you planted your flower seeds yet yet?
