Why?
This one has a headphone jack so it can be silenced without needing to fuss with Bluetooth and batteries. The newer model requires a USB C to 3.5mm adapter that is fragile and easily lost. Additionally, your kid will not gain anything meaningful in the 10th gen.
For web surfing and news reading, iPad hardware outlasts software updates. I've never had an iPad die. My Dad still uses his 3rd gen iPad from 2012 and my Mom uses a 1st gen Air.
My youngest kid is still using an iPad Mini 5 from 2019 and my oldest has an iPad 6 from 2018. They both work just fine. Heck, they're both even supported by the upcoming iPadOS 17 release next month, although this might be the last one (or two) they get. Even so, that's quite the run for those tablets.
