London: Day Five

Today we went on a field trip to the Deen City Farm! We had to take the train and tram and do a lot of walking with children who are surely not used to the effort. Seeing all of the different animals was very exciting for the children though and it was overall a great day. The stress of being in a new environment and having so much physical exertion was a stressor for a lot of the children and there were several breakdowns and a lot of screaming. It is hard when the children have these moments because they have to be physically constrained for their own safety. I also saw my first seizure today when one of the little girls had a seizure for about five seconds in front of us at the school. It is incredibly sad that these children have to live with these ailments in everyday life. The farm was exciting though- from giant rabbits to alpacas to horses and the kids were thrilled! I am completely exhausted from today so I am watching a movie and going to sleep early- write more tomorrow! Addio!
