This week, Redwoods class have been busy becoming eco‑engineers! 🌍💡 The children designed and built their very own bug hotels using recyclable materials, helping us learn about sustainability while supporting the mini-beasts living in our school grounds. 🍃🪵

Working in teams, the children planned their designs carefully ✏️📐, thinking about what different insects might need to feel safe and cosy. They selected materials such as cardboard tubes, pinecones, sticks, plastic bottles and paper scraps ♻️📦, showing fantastic awareness of how everyday items can be reused instead of thrown away.

Throughout the project, Redwoods demonstrated wonderful teamwork, creativity, and communication 🤝🎨💬. They shared ideas, listened to one another, and worked together to bring their designs to life. It was brilliant to see everyone so engaged, focused and proud of their creations! 😄👏

Our finished bug hotels are now ready to be placed outdoors 🌳, and we can’t wait to see which creatures decide to check in! 🐛🐞🕷️
