We welcomed our new worm farm this Thursday. Thankyou to the Knight family, not only for their generous donation but also for organising and delivering it to Kindergarten. We can’t wait for Hugo to add some art work to the side!!
Our new worm farm has come from Anglicare and is a recycled, degassed, derubbered fridge. It has been placed right next to our veggie garden and is currently home to over 3000 worms!! Next term classes will take turns to maintain the worm farm and feed our worms. We hope to show the children how waste can be turned into something new. Fingers crossed, our worm farm will produce lots of lovely worm wee for us to dilute and add to our own veggie garden as well as sharing some with the Preparatory school boys for their veggie garden and the PAC grounds staff (whose eyes lit up when they saw our worms!!)
Our worms don’t like the light so we will only see them twice a week. Worms don’t carry any communicable diseases so it will be safe to touch them but we will enforce a strict hand washing policy for our helpers anyway. You may like to save your old coffee grounds and egg shells for the week when your child’s class is on feeding duty.
Kind regards
