Children from Just Learning Nursery in the new town of Cambourne, Cambridgeshire, had an exciting time visiting a building site. Nursery manager Pat Wright talks about their experiences.
'The visit to the building site was part of our monthly project. We had already talked about different buildings in different countries and had done some artwork and junk modelling. Many of the children at the nursery live in new houses and see new houses being built around them. So we decided it would be great to incorporate this into a learning experience.
One of the parents works for Bovis, the company that builds the houses, so she set up a visit for us. Seven children, aged two to four, accompanied by three adults visited the building site, where they were able to see houses that were only half-built.
