Line	From	To
I'm Hayley with everything you need to know this thursday.	:00:00.	:00:07.
My school has been taken over by baby chicks.	:00:08.	:00:28.
First to the town of Port Talbot in South Wales.	:00:29.	:00:32.
It's home to the biggest steelworks in the country.	:00:33.	:00:34.
People there are worried because Tata Steel, which owns	:00:35.	:00:36.
the site, wants to sell it and workers could lose their jobs.	:00:37.	:00:41.
The company employs around 10,000 people at 14 sites in Britain.	:00:42.	:00:46.
It wants to get rid of them because they are losing money.	:00:47.	:00:49.
Ricky, what have people there told you?	:00:50.	:01:03.
I'm in Port Tolbert in South Wales. Lots of lorries coming into the	:01:04.	:01:10.
factory. -- Port Talbot. This is a big site as you can see. Lots of	:01:11.	:01:14.
families waking up not sure what will happen to the steelworks here.	:01:15.	:01:18.
We know that the Prime Minister is holding a special meeting to talk	:01:19.	:01:22.
about the future of the UK steel industry. Yesterday, I spent the day	:01:23.	:01:26.
speeding tickets in the town because of them have parents working in the	:01:27.	:01:31.
factory or no people in their street working there. I wanted to find out	:01:32.	:01:35.
how things would change if the factory is to close.	:01:36.	:01:37.
Wherever you are in Port Talbot, it is not hard to miss	:01:38.	:01:47.
You can see it from pretty much all over the town.	:01:48.	:01:55.
And kids have been telling me today that they will be pretty sad	:01:56.	:01:59.
Alfie and Lily, your dad works at the steelworks.	:02:00.	:02:02.
He has worked there for six years, hasn't he?	:02:03.	:02:04.
And what do you think would happen if it was to close?	:02:05.	:02:08.
Well, I would miss seeing the ships going in and out.	:02:09.	:02:11.
What is it like having a dad who works at the steelworks?	:02:12.	:02:14.
You have got the beach and then the mountains where I live,	:02:15.	:02:21.
which is like my back garden, so it is nice to explore different	:02:22.	:02:24.
And how much of a big deal is the steelworks for this town?	:02:25.	:02:32.
It is major because there are so many jobs there	:02:33.	:02:34.
and so many of my friends' parents work there.	:02:35.	:02:36.
And it means so much to them if they keep their jobs.	:02:37.	:02:39.
I know lots of people, especially loads of neighbours	:02:40.	:02:43.
It would affect them because they all have children.	:02:44.	:02:46.
So, if it closes, then they will all be out of work.	:02:47.	:02:49.
If it was to close, would it be quite sad?	:02:50.	:02:52.
Yes, it would be bad for the country and the economy.	:02:53.	:02:57.
Not just the community, but also some smaller businesses	:02:58.	:03:05.
Could you imagine Port Talbot without the factory?	:03:06.	:03:09.

Next, to a baby gorilla who didn't have the easiest start in life.	:03:26.	:03:28.
Afear's mum had problems giving birth to her,	:03:29.	:03:30.
so vets had to do an operation on mum to help.	:03:31.	:03:33.
Afear's mum is recovering but in the meantime keeper Lindsey	:03:34.	:03:35.
has taken her home so she can feed Afear through the night.	:03:36.	:03:38.
The little gorilla is now doing well and it's hoped her mum will be able	:03:39.	:03:42.
Chickens, scarecrows and a wooden cow.	:03:43.	:03:57.
Today, we are finding out where our food comes from.	:03:58.	:04:01.
This farm workshop has arrived at school to give us classes	:04:02.	:04:06.
on planting fruit and veg, discovering how to grow grain	:04:07.	:04:09.
We're finding out how chickens live and how to keep	:04:10.	:04:16.
And a happy chicken equals a happy egg.	:04:17.	:04:21.
All day, my school has been taking part in workshops where we have been	:04:22.	:04:26.
learning more about what farmers do and what tools they use to produce	:04:27.	:04:28.
OK, it is a wooden one, but you get the idea.	:04:29.	:04:41.
This may look all very "a-moo-sing", but there is some serious	:04:42.	:04:45.
We have come here today to tell you what we do back on our home	:04:46.	:04:51.
We're very excited to be here, to tell you how we produce food	:04:52.	:04:55.
Why is coming here today helpful to children like me?	:04:56.	:05:01.
It is important that you learn where food comes	:05:02.	:05:04.
from because you need to understand what you are eating and you need	:05:05.	:05:07.
to understand the health benefits that it can give.	:05:08.	:05:10.
This little mill is used to grind grain to make flour.	:05:11.	:05:19.
One of the workshops these guys are doing is learning how	:05:20.	:05:22.
That is really important for farmers because if birds come,	:05:23.	:05:31.
they get scared of the scarecrows and it protect their crops	:05:32.	:05:34.
and all the food that they need to grow.	:05:35.	:05:36.
Although farming is not something I would want to do myself	:05:37.	:05:38.
when I grow up, these workshops have definitely taught me about the foods	:05:39.	:05:41.
I eat and where it comes from, which I think is really important	:05:42.	:05:46.
And any excuse to hold a baby chick is good for me, even if	:05:47.	:05:57.
That's all from me, Newsround's back right here at 4.20 this afternoon.	:05:58.	:06:02.
