Today Year Three began to focus on our compost super heroes - worms.
First we brainstormed in groups what we already knew about worms.
"Some worms are herbivores" Claire
David "Worms make holes that make air go inside the earth"
Azara "Since worms don't have back bones they wriggle around"
Shyloh "Worms eat biodegradeable things"
Isaac "They will dry up if they are in the sun for too long"
Next we went to the mara to dig up and observe our very own worms, if we were brave, we held them to see them up close. We wrote our new findings with a different pen.
"There were some blue worms"
"Some were very fat and short"
"Some were big and some were small depending on how wet the ground was"
Afterwards we watched a video and recorded our new knowledge.
Lastly we created our wondering questions about worms. We'll find out the anwers next time.
"I wonder how many species there are in the world"
"I wonder if worms can dig up trees"
"I wonder why birds eat worms"
"How many worms are NZ?"
"How long can a worm stretch to until it snaps?"
"How long can a worm survive in the sun"
