Local housebuilder, Barratt Homes Yorkshire East, has completed an exciting project with East Whitby Academy, close to its Abbey View development, to teach school pupils about the housebuilding journey.
Students aged five and six from East Whitby Academy have learned about everything from naming and building a development to the marketing and wildlife considerations in an educational challenge named, Building Buddies. From September 2023 until March 2024, the Year One class took part in different project challenges to learn all about housebuilding with the chance to be named one of Barratt homes’ top Building Buddies of the year.
Once the hunt was completed and all the clues were found, the children could spell out a special Easter phrase in exchange for a chocolate treat. Rebecca Waterfield, class teacher at East Whitby Academy, said: “Taking part in a challenge like Building Buddies, which can be easily implemented into the curriculum, is really exciting for the children in Year One. “Building sites are a hive of activity and we’re so pleased to be able to teach the pupils about them in such an interactive way.
