Year Old
First trip to the Isle of Wight for year four kids
Next summer as part of the classes ongoing work, I will be accompanying a group of teachers and kids to the Isle of Wight. Apparently I have visited the island when I was much younger, but I don’t really remember a thing about it.
It is likely to be a special trip for us, particularly my daughter who has just turned 9 and has yet to sail on the sea in a large vessel. Most of my daughter’s school mates are similar to her, as they have probably only seen these types of large vessels in magazines or on television. We will be making the journey from Portsmouth over the Solent to Ryde on the Isle of Wight on the Isle of Wight ferry. It is highly likely that we will make the crossing on one of the new Catamaran vessels that have just entered service with the ferry. I was up for this idea, as I am now aware that they rapidly gobble up the distance with an expected crossing time of twelve minutes.
Another first for me is being a helper amongst a large group of someone else’s kids. Managing your own kids is one task, but it is nothing compared to looking after a bigger group. We will be there on the island for three nights, and are looking forward to visiting some of the attractions that are available there. Some of the places that have been recommended for us to visit during the stay include:
1. Dinosaurisle
Dinosaurisle is a purpose built interactive museum that was built in 2001 on the site of the old Museum of Isle of Wight, which housed the island’s geology and fossil collection. The new building was designed to resemble a giant pterodactyl, and was designed by local architect Rainey Petri e Johns. They have fossils dating from the Ice Age all the way back to the Cretaceous period when the Earth was still dominated by the dinosaurs who are represented by life sized electrical models. There are plenty of guided tours and lots of interesting things to engage and fascinate the kids.
2. Steam railway
Sadly most of the line was closed by 1966 having covered nearly 54 miles of island territory. The line today is lovingly maintained by a team of volunteers, who have been devoting their time since 1971. Some of the oldest of the trains date back to 1876 when Queen Victoria was still on the throne. Full trip return tickets normally allow unlimited amounts of travel on the day that the tickei is issued to you (subject to their availability).
3. Sandown
Sandown looks an interesting place to visit, with its lovely bay and sheltered golden sands. Walking on the wide promenade is a very nice experience, created during the reign of Queen Victoria over a century ago. Here you will find one of the last remaining piers from the late Victorian era, which allows for great views over the bay. You can use an indoor swimming pool and a pitch and putt course, tennis facilities and nearby restaurants and shops.
4. Bestival
Although Bestival is a fun packed fantastic adventure, I don’t think they are quite old enough for that yet, and unfortunately the teachers won’t let me slip off to experience it again for myself!
