Today we were able to bring the world into the school for the children through the use of Virtual Reality! Each class had the opportunity to either visit a different time in history, or a different place in the world to support their learning in school. 

 

Teal Class were first to have a go on our Virtual Reality morning. They were off  to London in 1666 to experience what it was like at the time of the Great Fire of London. They were then able to visit St Paul's Cathedral in London and see evidence from the Great Fire that can be seen today - all topped off by a quick trip on a roller coaster for all those who were brave enough!

 

Aqua class were able to meet a variety of animals. They started in an aquarium, before moving on to go on safari and meet rhinos and elephants. They even got the opportunity to hold a penguin in their hand! As Archie said, "wow!'

 

Cobalt and Navy class were then able to visit the rainforests of Brazil as a 'brilliant beginning' for their topic next term looking at Brazil. They enjoyed exploring the different layers and meeting lots of the different animals. 

 

With coaches becoming increasingly costly, it was amazing to be able to take all of the children on an adventure, all for the cost of a coach to Oakham! We will definitely be borrowing the headsets again!
