Building Futures with Pantside Primary year 3 pupils

Students from Pantside primary school spent a constructive afternoon learning about life on a building site and had the chance to see the building of the new Velindre Cancer Centre (nVCC) in action. Community Benefits Coordinator Joanne O’Keefe conducted a lesson on the many creatures that live around the site in the natural environment, and the efforts Sacyr makes to protect them.

Wearing their special PPE, along with their clipboards, the pupils were challenged to explore the sites safety path, identifying both common objects found on site and elements of the wildlife that surrounds it.

After completing their checklists students were led back to the classroom to discuss what they had seen and enjoyed a well-earned lunch after a busy few hours of learning. Pupils left the site feeling informed and inspired by what they’d seen, excited to tell their class mates about their first experience on a building site.
