SCHOOLS EDUCATIONAL INCURSION

Are your students learning about recycling, worm farming and sustainability?

The Wonderful Worm Waste programs are designed to supplement your school’s ongoing waste minimisation programs, and support learning outcomes by directly involving students in a practical and fun way.

The educational post-activity investigation and lesson plans are high quality, curriculum-linked educational resources, and there are opportunities to support inquiry-based learning after the presentation.

Our programs are designed and tailored specifically to early learning to F-2, 3-6, and Grade 7.

Inclusive learning practices are engaged throughout the presentation with plenty of opportunity for each student to interact. Students are encouraged to participate in a Questions and Answers session at the end.

The program introduces children to Animal Science and Technology.

Fantastic hands-on fun!

We supply everything, including heaps of wriggling worms!

The kids can’t wait to roll up their sleeves to handle and observe their worms up close. They will have the opportunity to use magnifying cups to examine worms up close, and for some, this may be a first time experience.

Each student will make their own mini-worm farm to take home and share with family and friends. The children will also be provided with take home instructions on how to look after their mini worms.

Note: All we ask is for each child to bring along a clear 1.25 ltr soft drink bottle to make the mini worm farm in.

Supporting Teachers – all the work’s been done!

We supply all the resources and equipment on the day.

The teacher resources are comprehensive and map directly to the Australian national curriculum. Literacy and numeracy is embedded in the resource pack.

Prior to the activity, the area will be thoroughly inspected for tripping hazards and any obstacles in the vicinity of the trestle tables.

Trestle tables are of a sturdy construction and are tested to make sure all are locked into place.

The activity will be set up in an undercover area so children and worms are protected from the elements.

Children will be advised to wash hands thoroughly after handling worms and disinfecting hand gel will be supplied for students to use.
