Year Three Get Wiggly With Worms

WONDER

 Today Year Three focused our FBI studies on worms.  We're going to deepen our understanding of these composting heroes and how they can help our kura over the coming weeks.

We began with a brainstorm, then we watched a video and added to our fact files:

Haven "Worms get wet in the dirt"

Cody "Worms like the rain"

Muller "Worms makes food scraps into good soil"

Arsshbir "Worms eat fast"

Riana "Worms make food"

Tom "They are good because they allow air into the ground"

Asaph "Worms breathe in a different way"

Ekamjot "Worms mostly like soil"

Emily "They breathe through their skin"

Oliver "They are pink

Charlotte "worms are like pink long gummies"

Roxanne "worms find new homes in the rain"

Vivaan "worms turn our food scapes into compost"

Andrew "worms need to keep moist"

ASK

We thought about what we want to find out next:

Harlequin "If worms didn't exist what would happen?"

Freddie "How can worms make food"

Sarah "What do baby worms look like?"

Arsshbir "What age do worms live to?"
 

Eason "Why do birds eat worms?"

Cody "Why do worms like rain"

Donn "How do worms eat?"

Jamila "How do worms make soil?'

Charlotte "Do worms have eyes?"

Zavier "what do worms eat with?"

Oisin 'how do worms go toilet?"

Loretta "how do worms see?"

Andrew "how do worms reproduce?"

KNOW

Next, we went to observe our worms in the farms.  We spotted cocoons and baby worms too.  We saw grown-up worms with their saddles.

ACT

Lastly we took action to enhance our environment by moving mulch to fill the new garden bed under the big pohutukawa tree. 

REFLECT 

Next week we will record what we have learnt about the worm life cycle and water our gardens with worm tea.
