There's a worm at the bottom of the Garden!!!!


This week we are going to look at WORMS!!! This has come from the children as they have been obsessed by them ever since we let them start digging!!! We are going to have a go at making a wormery or two this week - if you have any 2 litre pop bottles at home send them in as they will make perfect worm homes!!! Wellies are going to be essential this week as we continue digging in the mud - so please make sure that you send in a pair or at the very least an outdoor pair of shoes that you don't mind getting muddy! We are certain that lots of learning opportunities are going to crop up this week and we shall share these with you as the week progresses!! We asked the children at the end of last week - what they know about worms and what they would like to find out - they came up with some amazing responses - so watch this space!!!!

Tom wants to make worm homes at home. He told me you chop off the bottom of the bottle and add mud and straw. Is this correct?

Yes - thats it!! a few dried leaves and a bit of sand and a little water just do damp the soil!

Have a look at this link - and all will be revealed!!!

OK, you need to add html onto the end of your link to get it to work:

We are a bit behind with ours, due to the lack of a suitable bottle - only one fizzy pop drinker in this house, and he drinks verrry slowly (he has finished now!)
