Hot challenge

When you come back indoors:

Mild challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Superworm’ by Julia Donaldson. Worms are superheroes in our gardens. Can you find out why?

Spicy challengers might like to sit and listen to ‘Yucky Worms’ by Vivian French. You could turn the sound off and read the book independently by pausing the clip at the right time for you. List the facts you learn from the story in your journal or sway.

Hot challengers, older children might like to watch the Springwatch documentary about earthworms which includes information about their importance, varieties. predators, how they reproduce and how to investigate them.  Creating a mindmap would help you to summarise the main points in your learning journal or sway.

  1. We were doing a bit of this at the weekend …..only on a slightly larger scale …
    shall post some photos if i get chance

  2. I’m going to give my best shot. I have a bush outside so I will collect the materials for the nest. Good Morning.

  3. We have been collecting sticks for the fire pit so will do some nest creating and make some shapes with them before we do our outdoor cooking experience . Sienna & Sol

    1. Hello, Sienna and Sol, how are you both? That sounds fun. I look forward to seeing photos of all your activities.

  4. We have made a bird feeder using the milk cartons. So far we haven’t seen many birds in the garden. But it might be the dogs being in the garden so much.
    Will try and get a picture up.
