As part of our topic on Materials, Year 1 was given an
exciting tour around parts of the new school building by Heather and Sam. We were
learning about which materials are
being used to build our new school and why.
After the tour Heather and Sam taught
the children about safety on a building site; possible dangers, safety
equipment, the protective clothes operators wear and also about different types
of machinery that might be spotted on one. During the presentation Year 1 demonstrated
excellent listening skills and Heather and Sam were impressed by not only the
questions asked, but also the knowledge of some of our pupils who have family
members in construction!
We can’t wait to move into our
new school building and would like to say a big thank you to Heather and Sam for
the tour.
A bright and eager bunch of
young scientists!
Can you estimate how many bricks were used in the new building? Ask a Year 1 to tell you the answer!
