Year 5 Virtual reality experience

Yesterday, Year 5 students had a virtual reality workshop as part of our topic on Ancient Egypt. During the session each pupil had the opportunity to wear the virtual reality headset to experience and travel to an Ancient Egyptian landscape.


The children ventured into pyramids, explored tombs and spotted an ornate sarcophagus all from the comfort of a Year 5 classroom. This virtual reality experience complimented the work we have been doing on Ancient Egyptian beliefs and mummification and consolidates our study in the British Museum on Monday.


Sydney from Elm said, "I really enjoyed the VR experience. The sarcophagus I saw was just like the one we made in class. When you looked into the pyramid, it felt like you were going to fall into it!"
