Staff at Rainbow Nursery provide children with a wealth of opportunities for exploring the natural world, and their giant African land snails are a great favourite.
As they handle and care for the snails the children are learning at first hand about life processes.
Planned learning intentions
To show care and concern for others, for living things and the environment
To use talk to organise, sequence and clarify thinking, ideas, feelings and events
To show an awareness of similarities in shapes in the environment
To find out about, and identify, some features of living things, objects and events they observe
To recognise the importance of keeping healthy, and those things which contribute to this
