☆Making a Wormery☆

1 Comment

P1/2/3 have made a wormery to see how the worms mix the soil and make compost.

We went outside hunting worms and found it very difficult to find any because the ground was so dry. One was brought in from home and so we put it in our wormery. To make the wormery, we put layers of sand and soil into it and then added some peelings on top.

Hopefully we will soon see the worms mixing the layers up.

❖Minibeast Habitats❖

Leave a comment

We were out in the school garden and over in the park looking at different habitats of minibeasts. We were looking at which minibeasts are found in the air, under stones, on bark and in the soil. We found a lot of minibeasts including bees, earwigs, woodlice centipedes, slugs, snails, moths and flies.

Miss Lamb also brought in for us a Bug hotel which her partner had made for us! We will be able to keep checking on this to see what minibeasts use it as a home.

❀Giant Snails❀

We had the pleasure of looking after two giant snails in our classroom. These belong to Kirsteen who is the childminder to a couple of our children in our class.

We had to keep the tank damp by spraying it daily with water. We also had to feed them with cucumber, which they apparently love. Kirsteen is going to let us see them again in the new year when they will be bigger. So watch this space. a big thank you to Kirsteen for letting us looking after them!
