Going to the Dump, VERY EXCITING! 😮

 WALT: Reflect on our Waste and how we use it.

On Friday the 21st of October Room 2 went to the Bromely Dump. We went there because our virtue for these 2 weeks is Stewardship and taking care of the environment. 3 parents came to help us:  Shelly, Sarah and Jackie. Our first activity was learning everything a proper compost needs

• Green foods (they don't actually have to be green, it means to be fresh food scraps

• Brown foods (They are dried up grass, or hay)

• Micro Organisms (it is just dirt that helps with the compost and worms)

• Water (to help everything come together)

We all got to hold a worm at one point, and a fun fact about them, they actually spell letters on you hand! But you should ALWAYS WET YOUR HAND because our hands are hot, and it could kill the worm because they breathe through their skin. 

We all had a turn at different rotations, the first one was where you tore newspaper into streamers, and you had to dip them into a bucket and fluff them up for the worms. The next one was where you used a shovel or your hands too pick up some worms from dirt, or worm castings. If there were no worms you would put it to the side.

The last one was where you got into buddies and filled up your watering can. Your friend would put worm tea into and you would give it to the plants it was very fun.
