Dunelm Homes welcome 59 reception students on site at Bailey Grange, Killingworth
15th July 2011
Last month saw Dunelm Homes open the doors of the site for a school visit, this wasn’t just any school visit, this was a visit that included 59 reception students from the nearby primary school, Amberley Primary School.
After a short stroll to Bailey Grange, all 59 youngsters were kitted out with Hard Hats and High Visibility Vests and taken on a VIP tour of the second phase development, which has an exclusive development of two, three, and four bedroom contemporary family homes, still under construction and almost entirely sold.
Miss Hindhaugh, reception teacher at Amberley Primary School, Said:
‘The excursion gave the children some excellent ‘Hands On’ learning experiences. The visit gave the children an opportunity to see contemporary houses being built firsthand as well as being a fantastic finale of our materials in the home topic.’
The youngsters watched the house builders and machinery at work, from laying foundations for the 19 new family homes to adding their roofs. The visit followed several weeks of studying houses in school, where the reception students painted pictures of their own homes. Looked through materials and shapes involved in the home and even transformed their role play area into a builder’s yard.
Our sales executive Mo Williams was on hand to assist the school expedition to the popular development, which, since building began, quickly established a growing community of residents.
Mo commented saying:
‘I am delighted that Dunelm Homes has been able to facilitate a school activity which has enabled a whole year group to experience the house building industry. The students were able to identify the several different house styles being built in this penultimate building phase and were even able to see popular Wells style of home, which is a three story four bedroom property, quite unusual for the Killingworth area. It was an absolute pleasure to show the students around the development and fantastic to see their enthusiasm as they explored the site. The visit was such a success we hope to work with them again in the near future’.
With just one house available on this phase, Bailey Grange, in Killingworth, is proving to be am extremely popular development. It boasts an envious location with excellent local amenities, including a well equipped shopping centre, leisure centre, good schools, and excellent transport routes, all on your doorstep.
