Years 3 and 4 were treated to a sustainability presentation on worm farms delivered by Catherine from Enviro Mentors. 

Catherine spoke about the importance of composting to avoid landfills and maintaining a clean environment by avoiding pollution and limiting greenhouse gases. 

Students learnt about the five types of foods that begin with the letter S that should not be put in our worm farms

• Salty
• Stinky
• Sour 
• Sweet
• Spicy

Students participated in a quiz where they passed with flying colours as they all showed respect by listening well to the engaging presentation. 

Students viewed a two-tier worm farm which was home to 1000 worms. 

Some students opted for a close-up view of the worms rather than holding them. 

Fun Worm Facts:

• Worms have five hearts 
• They live from 4-8 years
• Worms don’t like the cold or light 
• They do not have teeth which is why they need softer food

We are looking forward to embedding sustainable values in students and throughout our school in the near future.
