Kiarn's Bug Hotel

Bug Hotel

Check out the awesome work Kiarn and his whanau have done:

WALT: We are leaning to identify different materials and equipment needed to build a bug hotel.



Materials and Equipment List:

Saw
Drill
Screws
Wood
Hammer
Tea tree sticks
Metal hooks
String

Building My Bug Hotel:

We gathered wood from around our house. We found Tea Tree, Japanese Cedar and Macrocarpa which is wood that we have collected from my Nana and Poppa’s farm.

In the top box we have hung herbs using metal hooks and string. We also put an air plant in because it doesn’t need soil to grow,  it only needs water to grow.

In the next box we have a birds nest out of our garden. Don’t worry there were no birds in it when we found it. There is also a Flax flower, Palm tree stick, Magnolia bud, and an off cut of wood.

And finally the last two boxes have bamboo, shells, flowers, Tea Tree and pine cones.

In Te Puawai we have been learning about what plants need to grow. We read about photosynthesis in the article 'Gardening with Science'.

WALT: We are learning about what plants need to grow.



Then we made either a Google Draw or a Google Slide Show about the things that plants needed to grow:
