Today, our Year 5s and some of our Year 6s were lucky enough to visit a real, working construction site. Apart from visiting what will be a brand new school in 2017, the lesson was an important one about the dangers of entering a building site without permission from an adult in charge.
The visit was to look at the new school at South Shore Academy, Blackpool, which is being built over the next two years. After an important safety talk and video...
