FOUNDATION stage pupils from St Stephens Community Academy in Launceston visited Tinhay Building Supplies on the Newport Industrial Estate on Tuesday, February 28.

The foundation class’ current topic of study is ‘builders’. They were given the opportunity to have a tour of the shop and outside area to see all the different items the building suppliers sell.

The pupils were able to learn a lot about what materials a builder needs and had a chance to ask members of staff different questions that they had thought of themselves.

A spokesperson for St Stephens Academy said: “A big thank you to Tinhays for allowing us to visit and taking the time out of their busy day to talk to us.”
