Furkle Stroy Williams

Environment

Leafworm life

Furkle likes to grow leafworms in the river by his home. Pink-kneed frogs love leafworms so a good supply of leafworms makes it easier to catch the frogs.

How does Furkle grow the leafworms? How does he stop them from floating away in the river? What conditions are best for leafworms? What special thing does Furkle give them every day to encourage their growth?

Writing Activity

Write a description of leafworms and how Furkle grows them. Include details of the leafworm lifecycle, the food they eat and what else they need to survive. Describe how Furkle can keep them growing so well so close to his home.
