In April, ninety-two children from Year Five and ten members
of staff embarked on a visit to the Isle of Wight. Our first activity
was to look around HMS Victory and Portsmouth Historic Dockyard.
We enjoyed the views on our ferry crossing and were at our
accommodation in time to settle into our rooms and tuck into a
well-earned fish and chip or pizza dinner. Our first day was capped
off with a coastal walk before bed.
Day two brought visits to a castle, where Charles I
was imprisoned and donkeys are used to operate a
well, and to the Needles Park, where we saw glass
blown, sweets made and we created sand
sculptures. A day in the sunshine ended with a
disco.
Day three included our fossil hunt, a visit to Queen
Victoria's amazing house and a relaxing video to
round off the day.
On our fourth and final day, we woke, ensured
everything was packed and set off to Amazon Zoo World. The zoo was packed with a large
variety of species. Then it was a ferry ride and bus back to school - we even made it back on time!
Throughout our trip, we benefited from wonderful weather. The children were
kind, polite and showed an interest in the places visited. We did a lot of walking!
Below are some of the children's accounts of what we did:
