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?
