Setting up a wormery

Teacher found 18 worms in her garden last night, and she brought them to school to show us. We got a wormery ready for them. We put layers of soil and sand in the wormery, then added the worms (they were all sizes, shapes and colours), then some grass and leaves for them to eat. We know that worms don't like light. We saw them trying to get to the bottom of the wormery as soon as we put them in. (The bottom is safer for them, further away from birds). We hope that the worms will make tunnels through the soil and sand, so that we can see what way worms live in the soil. We might even try making our own wormeries at home.
