Our Wormery

Today we collected minibeasts. When we say minibeasts we mean worms, beetles, earwigs, slugs, snails, spiders and flies. We used tweezers to pick up the minibeasts, we used containers to hold them in. Finally we used magnifying glasses to look at them closely.
We also collected soil. Using the magnifying glass we discovered that soil is made up of (or composed of) small stones, sand, rotten leaves and grass and little bits of twigs.  Teacher told us that worms can be used to make soil much better.
We learned that for €3 'Christian Aid' will buy 1kg of worms for a farmer in India so that he can make compost to help his crops grow.
Worms are so good for soil that we decided to make a wormery. Now we can watch our worms (all thirty of them) make patterns as the help the soil and leaves in our wormery.

You can make you're own wormery at home. All you need is a plastic bottle, sand, soil and dont forget to put in worms! (",)
