We added a solitary bee hive to our garden this week. It will attract non swarming bees like the Red Mason Bee and the Leafcutter Bee. These bees are naturally attracted to holes in wood for nesting/egg laying. Our bee hive will provide a habitat for the bees alongside our Hotel for bugs.

6th Class Dream Space Maker Challenge
We completed our first Dreamspace maker challenge. We worked in teams to plan, design and problem solve as we designed working windmills. These skills will help us to code our Microbits in the near future.
Thank you to Louise Lawlor from Newbridge Library for helping us out!
