We have included a sturdy investigation shelf at the side of our Bug Hotel to enable children to get up close and personal with the mini-beasts within their 'Bug Pod'. Hooks are always a must. Bags, coats, magnifying glasses, pencils… children can hang equipment up before heading to inspect their 'Bug Pods'.

Pentagon Play's amazing ‘Products Team’ has worked tirelessly over the past few months to create an incredible Bug Hotel unlike anything on the playground market.

I have the opportunity to choose and explore a range of media and technologies to create images and objects, discovering their effects and suitability for specific tasks. There is a handy Clipboard Shelf on the side of the Bug Hotel so children can easily access paper and worksheets to write down their findings. Pupils should use the local environment throughout the year to raise and answer questions that help them to identify and study plants and animals in their habitat. They should identify how the habitat changes throughout the year. Children will have to independently select and use the right equipment before returning the items to the correct location leaving the area neat and tidy for the next class or group of children to use. I can identify and classify examples of living things, past and present, to help me appreciate their diversity. I can relate physical and behavioural characteristics to their survival or extinction.

Includes 18 pieces for STEM learning fun: 15-piece Playground with Air Holes, including a climbing wall, pool, crawling tube, curly slide, and jungle gym; bug catcher; instructions; and illustrated science activity booklet I understand how animal and plant species depend on each other and how living things are adapted for survival. I can predict the impact of population growth and natural hazards on biodiversity Children must carefully remove their individual pod from the hotel and place it on the Bug Pod Investigation Shelf. Taking a closer look at what is inside their pod, children will begin to identify and observe the insects inside without disturbing them or spilling what is inside their pod.

Nature Kits For Kids

I have the freedom to discover and choose ways to create images and objects using a variety of materials. explore and use classification keys to help group, identify and name a variety of living things in their local and wider environment Collect cool bugs, then observe them on their own tiny playground: Go on a bug-collecting adventure, then bring your critters inside to watch them navigate the mini play structures as you learn about nature describe and compare the structure of a variety of common animals (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, including pets)

This Science primary resource assists with teaching the following Sciences Early level objectives from the Scottish Curriculum for Excellence: Children can plant a selection of seeds and watch as their plants and flowers begin to grow... a fantastic way to introduce children to the plant lifecycle.I can use my knowledge of the interactions and energy flow between plants and animals in ecosystems, food chains and webs. I have contributed to the design or conservation of a wildlife area. The teaching resource can be used as a printed handout for instruction in class time, or for display on the interactive whiteboard. Depending on the size of your class, each child or pairing can be allocated their own 'Bug Pod' giving them full responsibility for creating the perfect home for mini-beasts and creepy crawlies.
