🌿The children in Primary Three had great fun this week building a new Bug Hotel for our school and they found lots of natural resources around the school grounds to use. We have just completed Stage One and we are looking forward to extending the hotel during the month of June! We are delighted to announce that the first visitors have already 🐞 checked in to this wonderful hotel. Mya and Sophia had the great pleasure of delivering the new hotel sign and we think our hotel looks pretty bee-utiful! 🐝
Please see reviews posted on Bug Advisor! The bugs are delighted to have Fly-Wifi!
Why Build a Bug Hotel? Bug 🐛
Building a bug hotel is a fantastic hands-on activity that connects children with nature and sparks curiosity about the tiny creatures that play a big role in our environment.
Building a Bug Hotel: 🕷️
Encourages Exploration and Observation: Children develop important scientific skills like observing, questioning, and recording by watching different insects.
Promotes Environmental Stewardship: Creating habitats for bugs teaches children about biodiversity and the importance of protecting ecosystems, fostering a lifelong respect for nature. 🐝
Supports Pollination and Pest Control: Many bugs, like ladybugs and bees, help pollinate plants and control pests naturally, which benefits school gardens and local green spaces. 🪱
Enhances Problem-Solving and Creativity: Designing and building bug hotels encourages children to think critically and creatively, using natural materials to create safe, inviting spaces for insects.
Boosts Emotional Well-being: Spending time outdoors and caring for living creatures can reduce stress and increase happiness and confidence in children. 🐜
By building a bug hotel, children gain valuable knowledge and skills while making a positive impact on their environment—an inspiring step toward becoming thoughtful, curious learners and caretakers of the planet.🌍
