Bug+Garden

=Room 12 Bug Garden=


 * On a trip to the zoo to learn about reptiles for our topic we noticed that they also have an insect focus. We asked them for some advice on our bug garden that apart from having butterflies doesn't have alot of other bugs, and alot of the plants have died over the dry summer. They suggested that while our bug garden looks pretty...bugs actually prefer lots of messy places to hide and live in. They even had a little structure made up of layers of rubbish like old roof tiles.**
 * We talked to Jim our school caretaker and he said he had plenty of junk to donate to us! Even more fortunate for us he offered to build us our very own little bug 'house'! Thank you Jim :)**

Students had a great time painting our bug house!
