We are learning to make a worm farm

For technology homework the children in our syndicate are being asked to make a worm farm at home (it does not need to be brought to school).

The children need to decide what the purpose for their worm farm is e.g. to observe earthworms or to create compost and worm wee for the garden and this will help them work out what they need. Worm farms can be made from ice cream containers, large yoghurt containers - any plastic containers that may be larger enough or stackable. Head over to the Ara Teina Topic page for ideas.

We made a worm farm for the class on Friday out of a soft drink bottle and some things we found around the school e.g. stones, sand and soil. When we find some earthworms we will be able to watch the worms creating their tunnels. Cool!
