For years students at the Glenfield Intermediate School have looked at the hens and ducks that they see over the fence into my place at Bruce Rd. Their friendly interaction is really welcomed by both the animals and myself. Last Tuesday 8 students from Special Unit of Glenfield Intermediate together with teachers and parents paid an “official visit” to my place. As well as introducing certain plants, and the way we can propagate them, big attention was on patting the chickens. We tried to do the same with ducks, but didn’t succeed, they were not so friendly and escaped with a loud quacking. Such a convenient neighbourhood can be very beneficial for students not only from Special Unit but for the rest of the students as well.
