OUR IDEAL CITY A section Balzani

First grade section A Romolo Balzani school

Iqbal Masih

State Primary school in Rome

Our city looks to us children very crammed with people, cars, lamp posts, animals, traffic noise and air pollution.

We have then tried to imagine an ideal city, one that would be more pleasant to live in.

These are our ideas about our ideal city: - Very many butterflies flying around - Very many seagulls - Very many cars - Very many ladybugs around us - Very many children going around in the streets and in the parks - Very many snails - Very many caterpillars around (the ones that become butterflies)

Moreover, we would like to see around: . Very many flowers . All sorts of plants . A lot of fruits of all kinds . Very many different trees . Very many animals of all species . Shops . An airport . Dogs and Cats

BUT THAT’S NOT ALL. We thought it would be very nice if there were: • Little lakes where we could bathe and fish • Many ducks in this little lakes • Houses built on trees

One of the most important thoughts of ours has been the idea of making our ideal city less polluted by car exhausts: We thought transport could be made by MULES

Now we would like to present our drawings on our Ideal City
