The children noticed that there were lots of worms around after it rained heavily. They wanted to know more. We discovered that there are 27 different types of worms; worms can live for 8 years and that birds like to eat worms.
We made a wormery in class , with gravel at the bottom and then we layered it with soil and sand. It looked like a big slice of chocolate cake. Then it was time to go out and get the worms. We found a few in the soil and we collected some leaves too, to place at the top . We watched the worms burrow down into the wormery. We will put them back in a few days.
