Mr Dorey the builder
On Tuesday Mr Dorey came to talk to class 1 about building. We learned lots about building houses from him.
Mr Dorey showed us photographs of when he built his house in Alderton. Builders have to follow plans that have been drawn by an architect. The land has to be cleared first and you have to have permission.
In a big bucket Mr Dorey carried some tools; a hammer, a brick trowel, a bolster, 2 measuring tapes and a spirit level.
We used our soft foam bricks to build a wall. Mr Dorey made sure that we overlapped all the bricks to make the wall strong. He checked our wall was straight with his spirit level.
