Our worm farm
At BestStart Hokowhitu we are really focused on developing our sustainability and becoming kaitiaki for the environment. One of the ways we are doing this is by establishing a worm farm to use up some of our food waste.
There was a bit of engineering and problem solving skills required but at last we got the double layered bins together. Our children had fun collecting fallen leaves to mix with the soil and shredded paper. It was so exciting adding in the worms, which had come by mail!
Over the next few days we have had many children interested and invested in learning about the worm farm - what to feed our worms, and taking turns to look after them as kaitiaki-caretakers. Our children are learning about the different creatures that play a part in our ecosystem and our role as kaitiaki and guardians.
