Year 2 Trip to D’urton Rise

Year 2 had a fantastic morning at D’Urton Rise housing development. After putting on our high-viz vests and hard hats we had the chance to look around a part-constructed house. Nick, the site manager, explained which materials they use to build different parts of the house and we discussed the properties of these materials. We had a good look around and found examples of different materials. We then visited the show home to see what one of the finished houses looked like. We found out lots about building houses, jobs on construction sites and the different materials used.  The children represented our school well and asked lots of interesting questions.  Many thanks to John and Nick from Ascot Homes for supporting our visit.
