Show the children the ‘Making a Bee Hotel’ instructions. In teams the children will design and make their own Bee Hotel. Once their design is complete the team will explore the playground and decide where they are going to build their Bee Hotel.

Use the presentation to learn about being sustainable and resourceful linked to our environment.

Challenge the children to think creatively to solve problems and create new ideas.
