Mini-beast mansion

As part of our Green School Biodiversity theme, the senior room children built a mini-beast mansion 

Construction of the Mini Beast Mansion   25-01-17

Our current theme for green schools is Biodiversity.

• Today we made a hotel for bugs
• We collected turf, blocks, old slates, logs, moss, wooden pallets, old terracotta pipes, flowerpots, bamboo, bog deal and decayed leaves
• First we found a perfect spot to place the Mini-Beast Mansion
• Then we cut the pallets in half and stacked them on top of each other
• Then we put layers of turf in between each pallet to stabilize it
• Then we placed four old slates on the top of the pallets to keep out the rain
• We placed the bricks, flowerpots, logs, bamboo and moss in between each layer of pallets to attract different types of insects
• The holes will encourage different insects to crawl in and out
• We hope to attract lots of bees, butterflies and other insects to the Mini-Beast Mansion
• We are hoping to achieve our 5th Green Flag
