Pupils have a special tour of new homes

Reception and Year 1 pupils from Twyning School were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at their neighbouring Newland Homes at Twyning Green development.

Sixteen pupils were taken around the site by site manager, John Wiltshire, and contracts manager, Ian Hughes, and learnt about how Newland Homes build their houses. They were then given the opportunity to get hands-on with some of the plant equipment, and were even able to take to the driver's seat of a dumper truck and forklift.

Pupils visited the showhome to get a real feel for what it might be like to live in the homes they'd just seen under construction, and talked about which bedrooms they would have if they lived in the five bedroom detached Hanborough home.

Ian Hughes, contracts manager for Newland Homes, said: "Our development is so close to the school - just on the other side of the village green - and so we invited Rabbit class along to see what was happening.

"Some of the children had already been into the showhome with their parents but enjoyed the opportunity to find out more about how we are building their neighbouring homes and the chance to try on a hard hat and get close up with the machinery we use."

Newland at Twyning Green is a collection of detached homes, including a three bedroom bungalow and four and five bedroom homes.
