EYFS hunting for snails!

This week children in Nursery had a gardening session with Fran. They went on a hunt for snails, trying to find the snails’ trails. The children learnt that snail trail slime contains 97% water, that means that it is almost entirely H20. The children had a tricky job because the snails were busy hiding from the cold!
