Predstavljamo vam hotel za kukce. Možda niste ni svjesni koliko su kukci zapravo bitni u našoj prirodi i da je potrebno voditi brigu o njima.

Sama izgradnja hotela je vrlo jednostavna te smo se odlučile naći nakon nastave u dvorištu škole kako bi započele izgradnja hotela. Prvo smo skicirale konstrukciju i odredili veličinu kako bi mogle pripremiti ostatka materijala. Nakon skiciranja bacile smo se na posao i izradile drvenu konstrukciju koja izgleda kao mala kućica. Unutarnji dio hotela podijelile smo vodoravnim policama i napravile presjek po sredini te smo krenule na popunjavanje prostora. Prostor smo ispunile starim komadima cigle, komadima drveta, raznim grančicama, slamom, češerima, piljevinom i drvenim peletima. Zadnji korak je bio postavljanje zaštitne žice preko hotela kako bi sve što smo stavili i ostalo u njemu. Hotel se nalazi u dvorištu Gimnazije Vukovar. Hotel su izradile Antonija Milić, profesorica kemije i Katarina Jovakarić, učenica.

Kako je naša škola Gimnazija Vukovar i Eko-škola koja ima dijamantni status, pokušavamo iz dana u dan što veći broj učenika osvijestiti o važnosti zaštite prirode, a tako planiramo i nastaviti! Hotel je još jedna aktivnost koja je uspješno odrađena i možemo reći da smo jako ponosni.

Introducing an insect hotel. You may not even be aware of how important insects really are in our nature, and we need to take care of them.

Building a hotel is very simple. We decided to meet in the schoolyard after school to start building a hotel. We first sketched the construction and then we chose the size so that we could prepare the rest of the material. After sketching, we made a wooden structure that looks like a small house. We divided the inside of the hotel with horizontal shelves and made a cross-section in the middle, and we started to fill the space. We filled the space with old pieces of brick, pieces of wood, various twigs, straw, cones, sawdust, and wood pallets. The last step was to put a protective wire over the hotel so that everything we put inside stays there. The hotel is located in the courtyard of the Vukovar Gymnasium. The hotel was designed by Antonija Milić, professor of chemistry, and Katarina Jovakarić, student.

Gymnasium Vukovar is also an Eco-school, which has a diamond status, and we are trying to make as many students as possible aware of the importance of nature protection, and we are still planning! The hotel is another activity that has been done successfully and we can say that we are very proud.
