Our children at nursery are thoroughly enjoying this damp weather as they have been able to look for worms in the garden. Not only have they been interested in how they move but also timing how long it takes for them to cross lines which the children have drawn on the floor with chalk. Some children have been measuring them using unconventional methods e.g. “This one is longer than my boot!”
Ideas
Have a look in your garden and try to find some worms. See who can find the longest or the shortest. Try sorting them into fat ones and thin ones, quick worms or slow moving ones.
