School gardens, and even our home gardens and balconies hold a wide range of plants and animal life.

We're going on a safari to see what we can find in the East End.

I really leaned About different Seasons And I really liked it.

We went to Hackney City Farm in year 2, and in reception. Two pigs, a small and big one, rolled in the mud. Chickens scared some of us. There was a big turkey which followed us. We saw a cow, white and black. In reception we rode on a horse. We also saw a donkey.
