    Description

    Last week, my Primary 2 class went into our school's forest to explore and make some bug hotels. They used all sorts of natural materials that they could find, including branches, leaves, soil and feathers. They also used man-made materials like tyres. This activity encouraged the children to use their creativity as well as building teamworking skills and seeing what their local natural environment has to offer.
