Composting
(Change, Nature)
We read a book about composting to learn more about the process, following our decision to make compost for our EY garden.
We noticed how excited the children were about the worms.
- Noah explained how the worms make holes in the soil and that they help the plants grow.
- Mason said he had worms at home.
- Ms. Shemo told the children that Ms. Hannah was an expert on worms and gardening. The children wanted to learn more about the worms.
We decided to leave a tray of left over fruit and vegetables to see what happens to it over time.
- Kenan noticed that the fruit had shrunk in size over the two days.
- Tracey said the fruit might attract the ants as they like to eat fruit.
We wonder what more we can learn about the worms.
- How do they live?
- How do they help us?
- What do they eat?
- Do we have worms in our bodies?
