Polar Regions VR Workshop

Our workshops are a great way of bringing the curriculum to life without the hassle of organising a school trip!

During the Polar Regions workshop, your children will visit and see:

- Antarctica's landscape
- Antarctic Penisula
- Port Lockroy
- Gentoo Penguins
- Leopard Seals
- The North Pole

In addition to visiting Antarctica and the Arctic, your pupils will learn all about the similarities and differences between these two locations.

Following on from this workshop, your pupils can write an information text about everything they have learnt and experienced. Our literacy bundles include lesson plans, example texts and LKS2 and UKS2 writing checklists.

English

Curriculum topics available: Creative writing.

At PrimeVR, we understand how difficult it can be to inspire children with their writing. We aim to create excitement by virtually transporting your class to the Polar Regions! Not only will we provide your class with exciting facts about Antarctica and the Arctic but we'll also provide them with an experience to ignite their imagination. Give VR a go and see how it helps with creative writing!

Following on from our workshop, you can download our literacy lesson pack, which encourages children to write about the differences between Antarctica and the Arctic. Each lesson pack includes an instruction sheet, model text and writing checklist (relevant to LKS2 or UKS2).

Physical Geography

PrimeVR can bring your geography topic to life by transporting your pupils to Antarctica and th North Pole! Using virtual reality headsets, we'll introduce your class to the differences between these two locations as well as give them an up close encounter with Gentoo Penguins and Leopard Seals!

We'll also discuss what impact climate change is having on the Polar Regions and what repercussions this could have on the rest of the world!

In line with government guidance, we can deliver a maximum of six workshops throughout the school day with a maximum of 15 pupils in each workshop.

We bring in 16 headsets and each pupil will have their own during the workshop. Each headset will be cleaned thoroughly with anti-bacterial wipes in between each use.

We recommend workshops lasting a maximum of 30 minutes.

Yes. We've worked with a number of SEN schools and the response/feedback to VR has been fantastic.
