Possum Nesting Boxes

Part of our action for our Inquiry this term was to make nesting boxes for possums which we will donate to a local wildlife shelter. We were very lucky to have Kylie from Bunnings come to our classroom to help us. She cut out all of the wood and supplied all of the tools for us to use. We had heaps of fun using the hammers and screwdrivers to put the boxes together. We found out some interesting information about the boxes from Kylie - she told us that we had to put carpet under the lid of the boxes to keep the bees away. With the carpet the bees will not be able to make their hives because the carpet will not allow them to stick. We can't wait to present our boxes and the money we raised to Adriana tomorrow for her shelter. Thank you so much for your help Kylie and Bunnings! Possum Boxes on PhotoPeach
