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

Only one week to go before we walk down the run way for Wearable Arts! We are getting very excited. We hope you are too!

Language Experience


Today we read "Mr Fox" by Gavin Bishop and had fun creating animals from the story using playdough and rods!


We worked so well today that we had parachute fun before home time!

Friday

This week the Enviro group helped Room 6 & 7 children plant strawberries in our new gardens.


We are now in the final stages of preparation for the Wearable Arts show. The creepy crawlies are looking fabulous. Here are just a couple of the creations that you can look forward to seeing on the catwalk! Again we must say a big thank you for all your support both at school and home to help us.
