Classes 1 and 2 have begun this term with gardening teacher Kate Flood, exploring animal homes and working together to build new worm farms for the campus. Children brought in animal homes they had found to show each other, before looking on campus for other animal homes like nests, burrows and trees.

Working together, Kate helped them to explore the nature and habitat of earthworms and roundworms - with the bountiful number of worms that came in her compost! The children then created layered worm farms that they will feed and look after on campus.

The children then enjoyed making and eating Japanese rice balls together (after washing their hands) ... yum!
