School children lay bricks at Deeside development
A small group of nine and ten year olds from Sealand CP School in Deeside visited Bellway’s Summers Bridge development for an educational and innovative trip.
The site visit was hosted by the Bellway team including site manager Guy Charalambous and sales advisor Hannah Roberts, with the intention of teaching the children about construction and showcasing the end result; a high quality award-winning Bellway home.
During their time at Summers Bridge, the pupils enjoyed a tour of the development, met with various tradespeople, looked at several machines used in construction and witnessed houses being built at different stages. They were also able to walk around the Lymner House to Home to learn about the different features, as well as a Lymner view home to see the finished property.
The highlight of the site visit was undoubtedly the brick laying session, with the pupils trying their hand at the much valued trade.
Robin Davies, Deputy Headteacher at Sealand CP School, attended the site visit. He comments: "We were delighted to be invited to Summers Bridge by Bellway. It was a superb trip for the children; fun yet informative. Real world experiences are so valuable, so to enhance their learning with such visits is a huge benefit to the pupils. They particularly liked being taught how to lay bricks and they were excited to share this experience with their friends back at school."
Jenny Bell, Sales Director at Bellway, adds: “It’s so important to establish relationships within the local community as our residents at Summers Bridge will one day be part of that. With Sealand CP School so close to Summers Bridge, it was fitting to invite some pupils to visit the development to learn more about construction, see first-hand how houses are built and have a go at laying bricks. It was a lovely day for all involved.”
