Book Launch of Fly-Spy and the Private Eye

Inspector Insector is the inspiration for our Bug City Development at Taieri Beach School. He has a book launch of his book "Fly-Spy and the Private Eye" at Orokonui Ecosantuary next Wednesday. If you are able to attend please contact Gordon - details on the invitation below.

Bug City Café Adaptions

The children found they had to be resourceful when predators (possibly rabbits, possums, birds including the neighbour's hens) enjoyed scratching up our well-prepared site for the Bug City Café.

Photos of insect and bug life

The children had another session taking photos of insect and bug life in our fields of gold!

Bug Café

Local building firm, Taieri Beach School, has started construction of the Bug City Café.


It was important to ensure the nectar drinks on offer appealed to a wide variety of  bugs and insects.

Property Consultant, Gordon Thompson, aka Inspector Insector from Earthlore Wildlife Gardens, designed the Bug City signs and the café furniture.

The children learnt a lot about soil preparation, planting the Alyssum plants with care so the roots are not damaged  and watering the transplanted plants so they will survive the heat. 

  

 

Construction of Bug City: Stage One

The construction of Bug City is underway. 

It is important to make the street names relevant to the surroundings.

The Bug City Cafe with a large selection of nectar drinks is nearly ready to open to the public.

Kowhai seedlings

Mrs Stoff and the children found lots of kowhai seedlings underneath our beautiful kowhai tree. They have transplanted them into pots and will tend for them so they can sell them at the Jumble Sale. 

Construction Sets

Great effort boys!

Insect life in the swimming pool

The children were intrigued to find this moth and ladybug in the swimming pool recently. They wondered how did they get there and what food would they eat in our covered swimming pool area. 

Photos of bugs

The children found it was not that easy to get photographs of bugs especially as the bugs wouldn't stay still for long.

Getting creative with plasticene

Teamwork

Working together as a team to sort out the tent for play and schoolwork.
