SNAIL When the Snail, snail, slimy snail goes slipping, down the slide, When the snail, snail, tiny snail, goes slipping down the slide. She gets to the bottom and pick s herself up and br ushes the muck of f her shell, And gets herself ready to tr y it again, Coz that is the way of the snail. Of the snail! Of the snail! Yes that is the way of the snail! She never gives up till she’s got to the top, Yes that is the way of the snail!

These songs have been created to get us all talking & thinking about learning. Hopefully you will enjoy singing them. The animals each have a message that we can all benefit from. We never stop learning... Inspired by the learning community at Victoria Park Nursey School during a week in June 2010.
