I'm quite sure that many kids, after reading this, will want to perform some experiments of their own with worms. I can't recommend this book enough; you can also find it as part of a collection of nature stories of the same format in the "Nature Storybooks" ten piece collection.

A grieving son finds a new direction for himself and his family by standing up to those who want to kill the hen harriers on his beloved moors. Understanding the World ELG: People, Culture and Communities. Describe their immediate environment using knowledge from observation, discussion, stories, non-fiction texts and maps. Take your child outside, to dig a patch of soil and look for worms. Follow up by encouraging your child to become worms themselves – by moving and wriggling to music! So many facts are here for the taking, how worms help the earth and plants, what worms eat, what eats the worms, and French dispells the rumor that cutting a worm in half won't kill it also. We love this non-fiction book because unusually for a book aimed at EYFS, it has photographs rather than illustrations. This book contains 24 National Geographic photographs of water being collected, stored, transported and shared in different ways around the world. Each picture has a brief caption of two or three words, with longer descriptions of the photographs and a map of the world at the end of the book. For water related activities, see our looking through water STEM at home activity and our floating flowers activity.

Understanding the World ELG: The Natural World. Explore the natural world around them, making observations and drawing pictures of animals and plants; Understanding the World ELG: The Natural World. Know some similarities and differences between the natural world around them and contrasting environments, drawing on their experiences and what has been read in class; The book is told from the point of view of the young boy who is spending the day with his Gran while she tends to the garden. When she digs up a worm he’s disgusted at first but then his Gran starts to explain just how great these creatures are. Although it sounds a little like a fiction story it’s a non-fiction book and there are a lot of worm facts explained in a really fun way. Something about the ‘story’ aspect of the book just seems to work and makes it easier and more engaging to learn about worms.
