Why book PrimeVR - Polar Regions VR Workshop workshop for your school?
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.
Which Curriculum Subjects do you cater for?
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!
