Mr. Waller's visit

On Tuesday morning, Year 1 had a visit from Mr. Waller. He came in to talk to us about his job as a builder.

Mr. Waller showed us the hard hat he wears on the building site to keep himself safe. He showed us the special boots with steel toe caps, just in case something falls on his feet. We loved the bright yellow high-visibility jacket he wears so that everyone on the building site can see him and he doesn't get squashed!

Mr. Waller brought along some of the tools that he uses. He showed us a tape measure, a hammer and a spirit level. He showed us how the bubble in the spirit levels lets us know if things are absolutely straight. The walls in Oak class are straight - phew!

We asked lots of questions about what he does first when building a swimming pool and saw photographs of enormous swimming pool shaped holes before and after they were covered in cement and beautiful blue tiles.

Thank you Mr. Waller. We really enjoyed your visit.
