WORM FARMS
For this weeks Comments4Kids I watched a video of children learning how to use worms to make soil more fertile for gardens. They are learning to do what is also called a "worm transfer". Their Vice Principal Mrs. Bleaken is the one helping and teaching them to do this. I really enjoyed watching this video! I also believe this is another great example of how technology can be use in the schools. What is also good about this is that it isn't only beneficial to the teachers or students but to both at the same time. The teachers by filming projects and experiments can learn what to do better and also can use the past videos for the future students. It can also help a teacher to look back and possible examine any other possibilities that could make experiments better in the years to come. I believe the students benefit from this in general as a hands on project. I think it is very important to have things for children to do rather than just making them listen. I think they would get such a better grasp on things if they actually had to work on it themselves!

On behalf of the class I would like to that you for your comment earlier in the day. We have only just started our 2010 classwork and most of the students are new to blogging. Having such a positive comment from yourself has really given the students a thrill and its hugely important at this early stage for encouraging them to continue to publish. By making comments such as yourself the students take a lot of pride in their work and it really encourages them. If there's anything that we as a class can do to help with your studies just leave us a comment and well see if we can help. Please also thank your course lecturer as well, its been an inspiration to the class today and the students are absolutely thrilled.
