The Wonders of the Isle of Wight
What a beautiful day to be heading out to visit the infamous tourist attraction The Needles. The views were spectacular.
We got creative down at the sand shop where we all chose an ornament and filled it with the different coloured sand that you can only find here on the island. We were all pretty impressed with our creations.
It was then onto the glass factory where we watched the skilled craftsmen create some incredible glass vases and ornaments. The sweet factory was also a real treat and we learnt the process of sweet making....and luckily for us we got to sample some sweets too!
A fabulous day was spent at Godshill Model Village which is spread over two acres
of beautiful, landscaped gardens. The models are all scaled-down buildings and
village scenes that can actually be found in Shanklin and Godshill. We all
helped to answer a quiz sheet, with the questions based on things we could find
there.
An ice cream treat is always welcome and it tasted even better besides the sea!
We did our best Robin Hood impersonations as we headed down to the archery range. After a few practise goes we were all soon hitting the target with some impressive scores.
