"Does a snail get homesick?"

It was all about snails yesterday.  The children took the snails off a wall for a closer look, quite far from it's home, for a small snail.  But the snail carries it's home on it's back, so does it get homesick? That was the discussion.

In between the brambles that the children have been picking over the past two weeks, there were a host of snails of all sizes, patterns and colours.  You can easily pick up a snail and transport them on a leaf, in a basket or in your hand if you really want to.  And who would have known you can impress others with a snail?

Ask your friend if you can borrow their treasured bug box to get a closer look, and show your friends what it looks like close up.

Remember, if you borrow your friends snail, make sure you ask if it's ok before you release it back into the wild!
