Our ' Inquiry' on worms.

As you may have already heard by now we are studying worms as part of our Inquiry. After making a multi-layered worm farm (beside the school garden) we proceeded to make a Vivarium 'a home for worms'. Pictured below is our class vivarium . The  layers began with damp  newspaper, followed by dirt, flour, sand and more dirt. Finally leaves and scraps went on the top. Several big fat Tiger worms were selected to live in our vivarium. Already the children can see how active the worms have been.
 It has been great to see the knowledge that children are bringing to this' Inquiry' and the things that we are learning on the way
