The Bug Hotel – an outstanding Dip and Do

17 Apr The Bug Hotel – an outstanding Dip and Do

Abe’s School Councillor’s Statement – so he decided to turn his Secret Garden Dip and Do into designing and making a Bug Hotel
So he collected 2 pallets from the Old Kent Road and stripped them of some of their slats and old rusty nails. He then glued and screwed them together, learning first how to use an electric drill with drill bits and screwdriver bits.

Abe then got to grips with my jigsaw and we asked the builders renovating the downstairs flat whether we could have any of their offcuts.
He then measured, cut and screwed ply board to make a frame around the pallets.

Abe measured thinner ply to make sections within the pallets
Once the sections were defined and in place, using the remaining wood, Abe designed the spaces to hold different materials for bugs and insects to find a habitat in.

We found the contents to go into the bug hotel in Burgess Park and our garden.

The secret garden

I am slightly bending the rules we had to write about a secret garden but …
I am making a bug hotel so I will be describing it (it is a secret garden for bugs).

Butterflies and moths, worms, snails and slugs, spiders, centipedes, beetles, bees and wasps all can live in a bug hotel for life. Each bug adding to the atmosphere like a crowd in a music festival. We need biodiversity (the variety of plants and animal life in the world or in a particular habitat) in our society at the planet’s current state we need it even if it was not polluted. Biodiversity will help us have a fighting chance. All of these small things will help our planet recover from what we have done to it (climate change). We ruined it so we must and will fix it. Animals are dying from our selfish acts, we need to be more selfless, and fast to act.

This piece maybe should be titled “The secret of the garden” but it is homework so I have to do what the teacher says.

Abe, Mississippi (year 6) class
