We have a bug hotel on the school grounds at the front of our school.

It was created some years ago.

Today, Dolores O’ Conaill along with students of science, Orelia and Sarah came up to us to help us all revamp and enhance the natural habitat for the bugs and mini beasts.

Different children took in suitable materials to help make the habitat attractive for the insects; these included bamboo sticks, leaves, tiles, twigs, cardboard, toilet rolls, and roof tiles.

Dolores shared her knowledge with us on many different mini beasts and their characteristics.

We learned that insects ,plants and animals are all connected to one another. The sun is our primary energy source.

In the afternoon, we all took time to create attractive bug hotel signs.

If you visit our school, you will have a chance to see our creations.

We understand that we all have a duty to look after and care for our environment.

Thank you to our visitors who came along today.

It was a very enjoyable morning.
