Year 1 Bug Houses

This week, Year 1 have been designing, making and evaluating their own bug houses for D&T this week. We began by researching bug houses, looking at what they can be made from and how to make them suitable for bugs like butterflies, ladybirds and bees. Then we designed our own bug house for a specific bug, thinking carefully about what they need. After that we made our bug houses using recycled materials and filled them with things like leaves, bark and sticks to give the bugs somewhere to hide. 

Here are some of our amazing creations!
