The children and Eco Team of Edgware and Hendon Reform Synagogue (EHRS) have built a new bug hotel, which is outside the synagogue building and ready for its tiny residents.
Together they learned about the different materials bugs use for nesting, chose their favourite bugs, and filled empty toilet rolls with cosy natural materials. These were then placed in a reused fruit crate lined with a waterproof membrane to create a welcoming home for insects.
The EcoTeam said: “It was a wonderful way to learn about the small creatures that play such an important role in our ecosystem, while encouraging the children to care for and protect the world around us… just one of the many ways we put our eco values into action at EHRS.”
