The Day in the Life of a Worm

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A WORM

Hi! I’m jeffery. I like to squirm all around this worm farm minding my own business looking for yummy things to squirm into and eat. Hey! What’s that I smell, nff, nff… a great big, tasty sandwich, for me? Ohh! I’m just a few wriggles away, oh no! Another worm!  I better get there quickly. I hear him munching my tasty meal. Hold on…  it’s just a spider on the roof eating a juicy fly. Well, if I don’t get started soon I’ll miss my meal and a hungry worm is not a happy worm. Munch, munch, munch. Mmmhhhuumm… that was so tasty and yummy.

Uuhhh oo, I hear stomping, boom! Boom! Boom! Aaaaaaaaawwwwwweeeee! Stop, that sun is burning hot on my skin, close that lid! Close it now! What were those silly humans thinking, don't they know that I don't like the sun on my skin...I heard Room 23 practising sun safety, I know all about keeping out of the sun. Down into the soil I go, aahhhh, that’s better….niff, niff, niff-ooo! More food. Gosh I’m a hungry worm but now you'll have to excuse me, I got to do something, plop, plop, plop, ahhhh that’s much better. I’ve just created new healthy soil. Now, i can continue eating. It’s like I’m the king of worms… and food!

Interviewing Mrs Weir

Today we interviewed a very important person, Mrs Weir. She is Mr Robertson’s secretary so we don’t get to see her very much but she is such so important in our school.

This is what she said:

How has your day been?

“Fantastic but busy.” Mrs Weir does all Mr Robertson's work, no wonder we don't see her much.

What do you like about being a secretary?

“I like that my job gives me a lot of varieties.” Things Mrs Weir does is the computer work, notes, news letters, phone calls and all the things Mr Robertson needs her to do.

What do you like to do when you are not at school?

“I love to read and I read every day.” No wonder Mrs Weir is a secretary, she must be so smart from all that reading!

When did you start at this school?

“January 2006.” Wow! That is such a long time, we were only 4. We hadn't even started school by then!

Are you always happy and why?

“I’m always happy at work because it is better to be happy than being sad and I have lovely friends at work.” I think that is great, being happy is so important.


Mrs Weir does so much for the kids at Kelvin Road School and we want to say a BIG thank you.
