'Bus Mad': Activity Sheets For Isle Of Wight Children During Lockdown

With children at home during the coronavirus lockdown, Southern Vectis has launched creative Bus School Activity Sheets to encourage Island children to get creative! The bus company says families and schools on the Island often describe their children as 'bus mad' -  which is why it has put together some fun ideas. Island children can keep their minds active, then send pictures of their masterpieces to Southern Vectis on Facebook or Twitter using the hashtag #busschool! The sheets are free to download using the links below: Art Activity Sheet English Activity Sheet Fashion Activity Sheet Geography Activity Sheet Home Economics Activity Sheet Maths Activity Sheet Puzzle Activity Sheet Head of Communications at Southern Vectis Nikki Honer said: “We know many young people living in our area love buses, because we’ve had so many requests for visits to our depot in recent years,” “Those who have come to see us in the past have had incredible knowledge of our timetables and bus numbers - particularly young visitors who have autism because they have an extraordinary talent for memorising this type of information. They also love nothing more than a bus ride around the city whenever they get the opportunity. “Sadly, that isn’t possible right now, and these are testing times - both for them and for their parents and guardians. So we want to give them something a little different and fun to focus on. “They can now download various bus-themed puzzles and activities from our website - and we’ll be offering a prize for those who send us their efforts.”
