DIY - Lighthouse (Needles Lighthouse)


 
Last Sunday, we had a day trip to Isle of Wight, a beautiful island with lots of nature attractions. One of the most landmark attraction is the Needles Lighthouse. My younger one, was excited to watch Needles lighthouse.

The Needles Lighthouse is an active 19th century lighthouse located on the chalk rocks on the coast of the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom, near sea level. It was designed by James Walker and was completed in 1859 from granite blocks, stands 33.25 metres (109.1 ft) high and is a circular tower with straight sides. It replaced an earlier light tower on top of a cliff overhanging Scratchell's Bay, which was first lit on 29 September 1786.A helipad was built on top of the lighthouse in 1987. The Needles Lighthouse was automated in 1994 and the keepers left the lighthouse for the last time on 8 December. 


He created a model of Needles , for the theme ' Landmark or any attractions that caught your eyes during a beach trip' using Kitchen tissue roll, colours, Red and Green LED lights and few shells.

Family trips or any educational trips has to be planned for children to help them learn more about it. Every trip marks a memorable moment for them. They try to recreate the memories or mark their trip through drawings or journals.

As parents, we need to encourage them for writing journals. Practising journals will improve their memory.

Happy Parenting !!
