Making Bug Homes in the Cerne Abbas Wildlife Garden

The whole school helped to create bug homes in the Cerne Abbas Wildlife Garden this week. Our work at Hillfield Friary helped to prepare us to do this. Maddie's mum and dad helped Giant and Ducklings to make a log pile, Trendle Class to make a bug hotel and Abbey Class to make bee homes. Absolutely everything we used was donated or recycled - even the tin cans for the bee houses were from the cafe on Maddie's farm and the bamboo was grown in their garden! The roof tiles for the bug hotel were recycled from Reggie’s dad (thank you), the straw was grown on a farm in Godmanstone and the wood was a willow tree that came down Maddie's farm in a storm! 

Thank you to Heather and Roy who spent the day with our children creating these homes for the insects to enjoy.
