Snails Travelling in the Rain

Today it was very wet indeed with lots of rain and puddles: we still go out in the garden to explore.
While we were in the garden we noticed lots of snails travelling across the ground.
The children were all so careful, forming a circle around them and looking closely. We counted 8 snails in a small area.  
Children supported each other saying “Be careful!” Children were supported to sustain interest for some time and focus concentration. 
You showed lots of joy alongside your friends. We gathered information books and created a circle using wooden blocks. We negotiated with each other, sharing the information books. We discovered snails like to come out in the rain and they have eyes on the end of long stalks. We read that snail’s homes are their shell and the shell is soft. 
We used vocabulary such as shell, slimy, soft, slither. 

Next time it rains, go outside with your family and look for snails and worms as they come out and love the wet weather.
