Donlon said it was interactive.
"It's a place they can come and they're not going to get into trouble for moving things or picking them up," she said.
"It's going to be part of our science focus. We also have a butterfly area and herb and raised gardens."
Year 3 pupil Connor Scott, 7, said he had enjoyed digging for bugs in the area.
"I don't always like sitting in a classroom or a desk all day. I like being out in the fresh air. It reminds me of the farm [I live on]."
Jimmy McFarlane, 7, said he liked watching the bugs in the bug hotel.
Bunnings Warehouse also helped the school set up the city, Donlon said.
"They happened to want a community project and came and visited us. They brought the people to help construct and gather stuff to fill it," Donlon said.
"We're really grateful for Bunnings and also the school community support, they are dropping things off all the time.
"Connor summed it up. Not all kids want to sit at a desk but it's still learning."
