Today we went on a trip to the local CALA Homes development.

Linking in with our ‘Ready Steady Build’ topic, we were learning about the planning stages of building a house and what has to be done before construction can begin.

We then spoke to Alan who told us about the steps to building a house, starting from the foundations right through until decoration and furniture.

We learned about the importance of safety and how all of the workers need to be given an induction before being allowed onto the building site.

Next we split into two groups to view the 2 show homes and take part in a site walk where we walked along the path and viewed a house currently being built and compared it to the finished building.  We asked lots of questions and enjoyed our visit! Thank you to everyone at CALA Homes for having us 🙂
