Science Week Wormery

Wow, its been Science week across the school and although we are often developing the children's Knowledge and Understanding of the World, this week we have had a particular focus on  it.

The children were immersed when they created the Wormery's.  They talked about the needs of the worms demonstrating an understanding of growth and changes over time.  They talked about the need for soil and how the worms like the dark, Olivia demonstrated an inquisitive mind when she posed the question " Why do they like the dark?" Danny replied with "They live in the ground where its dark".  Archie made an observation "In my class a worm ate a leaf".  A few days later when observing the wormery the children were able to identify worms and tunnels.  Tiffany excitedly exclaimed "Look there's a tunnel".
