I spent a wonderful morning at Peareswood Primary School, Erith, Kent discussing my new book, What Do Construction Workers Do?, with a group of brilliant children ( – all in a very social distanced way). This is one of the 11 primary schools around London and the South, which Wates will be giving copies of the book to KS2 children.
Wates is one of the largest construction companies in the UK and they are invested in working with local communities in areas that they are building. The book came about when Wates and I that realised we had a similar mission – helping young children discover what jobs are out there and how they could use their talents in the future.
Azeeza, a pupil at Peareswood Primary School, summed it up perfectly…
“I really liked the book because it will inspire children like me all around the world to be what they want to be when they grow up. I think construction workers work really hard and I want to be a hard working person when I grow up.”
