NATURE-LOVING pupils at St Christopher Primary School in Coventry put their biodiversity knowledge to the test.
They took part in Eco Buddies, a free educational programme by housebuilder Orbit Homes.
The session saw pupils build and decorate their own bird boxes as well as learn more about biodiversity, why it’s important, and what they can do to promote it.
The new ‘Eco Buddies’ also got an insight into sustainable construction and how Orbit works to integrate eco-friendly features into its new homes and developments, such as hedgehog highways and bug hotels.
Kevin Tarn, Year 5 teacher, said: “Our pupils are very curious about the environment and love to explore outdoors so this was a very engaging experience for them.
“The bird box activity was a fun and creative way to get the pupils really involved with the idea of protecting the wildlife around us and we’d like to say thank you to Orbit Homes for inspiring our very own ‘Eco Buddies’.
