SQUIRMY WORMS

This week, our class was lucky enough to have a visit from the folks at The Worm Shed. Kevin (the worm guru) put on a great presentation about the diet, habitat and reproduction of worms, before leading the class in a lesson on do-it-yourself worm farms. The students each got to build their own worm farm in a recycled plastic bottle, adding layers of newspaper, soil, grass and of course…WORMS! A few lucky students also helped to build two large worm farms that will stay at the school, and will provide us with worm wiz for the garden whilst recycling our food scraps. The children had a great time building their mini worm farms, and learnt some mind-boggling facts about worms:

“I learnt that worms can live more than 15 years.” – Aaryan

“I learnt that there are more than 3000 different species of worm in the world.” – Cathy

“I learnt that a worm is both a boy and a girl.” – Jacob
