Dinosaur Isle
It is located in Sandown, a seaside town on the southeast coast. It’s a large, lovely museum, both fun and educational. Here you can see a large fossil collection of all kinds of dinosaurs, as well as a gift shop. You can walk into the past and then the future, learning about the history and the development of the civilization of dinosaurs that lived 120 million years ago.
Robin Hill Country Park
The park is in the beautiful countryside, and is suitable for children’s parties and games. It has five new gardens, and offers great opportunities to see and take pictures of the rare red squirrels.
The West of the Wight
Here we have the Marine Aquarium, the Archaeology Exhibition and the Model Railway. They offer another opportunity to combine entertainment with learning. This is a great place to see ancient boats crossing the narrow strait between the island and the mainland.
The Wight Bus Museum
This museum is run completely by unpaid volunteers. It has a bus collection stored in what was once a warehouse (仓库). Most of the buses in the museum date back to around the 1910’s.

5 . Outdoor cameras are the modern version of hiring a guard for your home.
Below is a list of some quality outdoor security cameras available in the market.
Ring Floodlight Camera
The camera itself records in HD and you have plenty of support via the app.
Through the app. you can talk to people through the camera.
The camera itself has no night vision. This is a problem in the event that the bulbs burn out, which will happen eventually.
Campark Camera
Since this outdoor security camera is built for hunting. it is wireless and completely waterproof(防水的). Furthermore, its sensors (传感器)are sharp and will naturally have night vision.
That said, there are a few downsides. Because of its higher sensitivity, this camera takes a lot of unnecessary pictures and videos. Furthermore, you’ll need to supply an SD card to store videos and pictures.
Zumimall Camera
The security camera itself is 100% wireless, connects through Wi-Fi, and is battery-operated. It also has night vision and handles cold, heat, and rain very well.
The only point of criticism is the storage. The cloud storage offered is limited. For free. you can store your videos and pictures for up to seven days before the old pictures and videos are replaced.
ZOSI Security Camera System
It’s a system including several security cameras, which pack a lot of qualities. They offer 80 feet of night vision, are weatherproof, raise the alarm when they spot motion, etc.
The downside of this system is that these cameras need to be wired to a center.
And the wiring can be disorganized and untidy.

It paid attention to all kinds of activities about media, from old ways like reading and listening to the radio, to new favorites like using social media and video chatting. More than 2,600 teens were surveyed. Here are some truths and myths(荒诞的说法) the study found:

8 . Heroes Stamp Design Competition
Welcome to the Heroes Stamp Design Competition! Children aged 4-14years are invited to design a stamp. Eight designs will be chosen for this stamp series from the Royal Mail. One of the designs could be yours. There are 120 great prizes on offer for area winners and runners-up. Plus, cash prizes for the winning schools too.
Stamp Designing
The stamp design will be based on your hero or heroes of the coronavirus pandemic. The past year has been very difficult for so many people. There are countless frontline workers and volunteers who have continued to work tirelessly to keep the country moving.
Being a stamp designer is a very skilled job. One of the jobs of a stamp designer is to reduce the size of a picture to fit the stamp. When designing your stamp, have a think about what kind of image of your hero or heroes would make a good miniature (微型的) design for a stamp. The final stamps produced will be about 3.7cm wide×3.5cm high.
Things to consider
Your stamp design must be drawn on the official competition entry form (报名表) which your teacher will give you.
Your design must be your own original work.
Drawings must be flat, so please don’t stick any materials or textures (纹理) to your design.
Please use lots of colour (no black and white images) in your design.
Please avoid using highlighter pens (荧光笔).
Good Luck
The closing date for the competition is 28th May. Please ask your teacher, or parent, for one of the official entry forms. You’re then ready to start designing! We can’t wait to see all of the amazing designs from gifted children across the country.
