Pupils at Lifton Community Academy Primary School learnt about how new homes are built and the different career opportunities in construction during a visit to Wain Homes’ Oakdene development in Lifton village.
The Exeter-based independent housebuilder is building 54 energy efficient two, three and four-bedroom homes at Oakdene, situated around an ancient oak tree in the centre of a new village green.
Wain Homes invited Lifton Community Academy’s 10 and 11-year-old Year Six pupils to the development off Fore Street, where they spent the day learning about the process of building modern new homes and finding out about the different types of jobs people can do in the housebuilding and construction industry.
The children also spent time looking round Wain Homes’ new four-bedroom Stowford show home, and were tasked to write a review of the home in the style of an estate agent.
