A BUILDING site was turned into a classroom for an inquisitive group of five-year-olds.

The youngsters from Malton Primary School were given their tour as an exclusive lesson in how homes are built.

The children were treated to the tour of the Broughton Manor development by a team from Taylor Wimpey North Yorkshire.

School head Kelly Wilkinson said: “The class is currently learning about materials, including bricks and mortar, which is why we are delighted we got the opportunity to show them a proper building site.

“The team at Taylor Wimpey was so accommodating and helped the children to understand what they do on site and the importance of health and safety when building the homes. We all had a wonderful time and we’d like to say a big thanks to everybody at Broughton Manor for showing us around.”
