10-16 June 2006  ~ Year 6, 
School Journey to The Isle of Wight -2

        

   
Amazon World
   
At Amazon World we learnt a great deal about the threat to the Rain Forests, 
both the plant life and the animals that live there.
Who was looking at who?
There was so much to see, both indoors and outside.
The demonstrations with the birds of prey 
was both fascinating and frightening...
right between the arms, 
watch out Miss Day!
... phew, 
that was neatly done.
On the walk from Sandown to Shanklin 
we recalled all we had learnt about erosion 
and saw how too much of the coast was being destroyed . 
    
Fort Victoria
    
At Fort Victoria, we learnt about seaweeds and other things 
to be found on the shore.
Then went to see what we could find. 
An old sock!
And plenty more In the aquarium we found out about 
the local sea life.
    
Alum Bay
   
At Alum Bay, Mrs Gray took 
the chair lift down to the beach
and everybody else followed!
After a quick close up look at 
the coloured sands..
we boarded a boat...
and set off for the Needles
    
The Glassworks
   
Back at the top of the cliffs at Alum Bay we visited the Glassworks
    
Tennyson Down
   
From Alum Bay it was a stiff walk ... up to the monument on Tennyson Down
Some of us made the journey quicker than others, 
but we all got there in the end!
