The Do One Thing task for the summer term was to ‘give a bug a home’. Excellent as we’d already planned to make an insect hotel! Wooden pallets, old plant pots, straw and twigs were collected and arranged to create a tower of places perfect for insects such ladybirds and lacewings.

Week 7 was the last week for some of the group so we held a celebratory bug hunt to try and find out how many minibeasts we had attracted to the school grounds. We had great fun looking under the logs in the log pile, shaking trees and peering at the ground.

Woodlice, worms, ants, beetles, butterflies and a frog were uncovered during our search.
