Learning about composting and the worm farm!

We have just introduced in our new playground a compost and worm farm as part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability.  As we gathered around the lunch table today and at bubble time we discussed our new compost and worm farm and the sorts of things we will put in it everyday.  A simple way for us to achieve this and for the children to understand and learn is by having two containers now on the table at kai times for our scraps and rubbish.  A gold one (with a picture of a worm, banana and strawberry) is where all our food scraps will go and the black one is for any paper or packet rubbish.  It was kind of like a game really, which container do you put it in??  We all caught on really quickly, Ka pai Uxbridge children, this is a great start!
