Collecting the eggs and tending to goats are part of an average day for Handsworth primary pupils.
A primary school in Birmingham has introduced a small farm to inspire pupils and bring the community together. The BBC went to see the impact the animals have had.
Mr Hynan's priority was to raise learning standards. One of the ways he wanted to do that was to engage with the community - and so the school opened a farm.Headteacher Philip Hynan sees the school as a hub - a place to connect with families and the community The idea came from his childhood. Although he grew up in Birmingham, he and his sister would spend summer holidays at a relative's farm in southern Ireland.
Not all the farm work is done by the children, though. Cleaning the enclosures and scooping up the poop is a weekly task for the headteacher. School governor Shuranjeet Singh, who moved to Handsworth about 18 months ago, helped out with the allotment."The school's vision was so important for me because it recognised the well being of the pupils rested on the wellbeing for families and the wellbeing of the community," he said.
