North London school welcomes farm animal guests

In the run-up to Christmas, pupils at this school in North London are welcoming some very special guests.

But it's not Santa and his nine reindeer - it's farm animals, including a ram, lambs and chickens.

The visit was part of the National Farmers' Union's drive to help inner-city children learn more about where their food comes from.

Many of these pupils have not otherwise had the opportunity to see such creatures close-up - nor sit in the cab of a tractor.
