Martin the builder came into Red Class to talk to us.

We have been watching the builders build a new classroom in the playground.

This is what we can see from our playground.

This is what we can see from the entrance hall!

We decided to build a toy shop in Red Class and asked Martin to come in and give us some advice.

Martin explained that before you start building you have to make some plans.

Next you need to make a list of the materials you need.

Then you need to make sure you have all the safety equipment to protect the builders as they work.

We got to work straight away...

We made some plans.

We made some lists.

We built some scaffolding and started measuring.
