Aruküla kindergarten courtyard has an insect-gallery since this spring, providing shelter to various insects who have found their way there. The insect hotel was built by children and their teachers. For building were used cones, hay, plants, branches, etc.
The gallery is mostly populated by ants and ladybugs. When children find an insect, they always want to move it to the hotel right away.
We use the hotel to show children how the insects live. To give a better view we use magnifying glass. Children can visit the insect-gallery all year round, to see whether the insects are sleeping or moving around. Visiting the hotel is very interesting for children and always gives them opportunity to discover something new about the insects.

Interesting moment of continuity between the 4-year section of Besurica children’s school and the 3rd grade of the D.Minzoni primary school “en plain air”, in the local park, close to the two schools, where children can exchange impressions, questions … on the outdoor learning activities, experimented in the current academic year, with the Erasmus Plus project LEARNING OUTside THE classroom in the EUROPEAN nature!

On June 2018 Don Minzoni Primary school pupils visited the Park of River Trebbia near Piacenza in order to explore the natural environment. The river Trebbia originates in the Ligurian Apennine, and after crossing the upper and middle Piacentino Apennine it reaches the first hills where the regional River Park begins. There the pupils observed the flora, the animals and the stones on the river banks. It was a great exploration!
