17 May Observing Snails in Busy Bees
As part of our work on minibeasts, the children in Busy Bees enjoyed observing and handling some garden snails. They used magnifying glasses to take a closer look at the shells and antennae, and watched as the snails left a silver trail all over the black paper! The children discussed the texture of the snails’ bodies and shells and they used these observations to inform their writing.
