Year 4 Visit to Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower

On Friday 12th July Year 4 visited the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth.
The Year 4 class has three pupils with a visual impairment, two partially sighted and one registered blind. The challenge for our Oasis team was to make this trip as accessible to the children as possible.
 
The Spinnaker Tower was a great experience for all the pupils.
Whether lying on the glass viewing deck with a friend...
Or having a sighted guide talk through the experience....
The children made the most of the resources available to gain an understanding of how Portsmouth developed over the centuries and the role the harbour played in this.
Our pupils enjoyed using the telescope to find specific locations in the city below...when someone wasn't standing in the way!
We had an excellent day...especially the weather!
We would like to thank the Staff and the Education team at the Spinnaker Tower for making our visit so successful.
