Fascinating Fact:

On a building site, builders, plumbers and electricians are fixing jobs, using tools to make homes work properly.

In KS1 English, children learn vocabulary for different occupations so they can name people who help us, talk about their work, and understand job words in stories and real-life situations.

Key Terms

Occupation: Another word for a job; the work someone does.
Builder: A person who helps construct or repair houses and other buildings.
Electrician: A person who works with wires and electricity to keep lights and appliances safe and working.
