Pl/1/2 have been making Mini Beast hotels as part of their Design and Technology Unit after having read James and the Giant Peach. They are hoping to attract ladybugs, worms, ants and even frogs and toads! These ‘hotels’ come with swimming pools and slides, beds and even couches to relax. We can’t wait to see who will come to visit!
We love being creative!
