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 back in time to Ancient Rome. Not only will we provide your class with exciting facts about Ancient Rome 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 a diary entry as if they were a gladiator in the Colosseum. Each lesson pack includes an instruction sheet, model text and writing checklist (relevant to LKS2 or UKS2).
Romans
PrimeVR can bring your history topic to life by transporting your pupils back in time to Ancient Rome! Using virtual reality headsets, we'll take your class to see the famous Colosseum (then and now), a Roman battle, the Roman Senate, example of Roman architecture and a typical Roman city/home. What size groups do you cater for?
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.
Do you cater for visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)?
Yes. We've worked with a number of SEN schools and the response/feedback to VR has been fantastic.
