firstly Mr H found a bath on Richardson street with a free sign on it and brought it to school. Secondly Sue's husband built a frame. Then we cleaned out the bath.
Next we observed the old worm farm it smelt like a corpse flower, then we saw the window sill it had 100's of dead flies on it it looked like a fallen army. We lifted the lid and there was maggot eggs under the lid ewww! Then flies shot out like a swarm of bees.
After we discussed the pros and cons of the two worm farms. we talked about teenagers destroying it and birds eating the worms in the end we decided we needed a lid and a lock. We found out that we are not to feed them citrus.
The next day we viewed a school called Melville intermediate's blog they also had a worm farm!

I really appreciate your work on this project, Room 13. The worm farm is a fantastic way for our school to reduce waste and the fertiliser is fantastic for my garden. Will you be selling the fertiliser at the school fair?
ReplyDeleteYou should have seen the Senior Teachers trying to load the bath into Mr H's car and then putting it in the garden... I think it must have been a funny sight to see because the bath is SOOOOOOOOOO heavy... It was not an easy task!
Great blog,James!Fantastic developments on the worm farm, Room 13! :-D
Yes James we certainly have a worm farm at our school and thanks for mentioning the slideshow! People are really interested in our Worm Farm and you've written a wonderful, wonderful description about your slideshow and setting it up! You will have to keep it updated so we know how it progresses throughout the year! Hopefully soon you are going to have plenty of worms! Are you going to buy any? Or produce your own?
