		Four Marks Primary School site visit to Meadowbrook, Four Marks During September 2010, 40 children from years 5 and 6 came to visit site during a working day to learn more about the industry as well as Site Safety. All children got an opportunity to watch a piece of machinery at work, see various stages of development from foundations in the ground to the finished product, ready for someone to move into and design their own house. All children were provided with a hi-vis vest which they got to keep as well as a goody bag. If your school would like to arrange a visit to one of our sites or a visit by our team, please contact us.
