Romans VR Workshop

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

During our Roman Rule workshop, your children will learn all about:

- The Colosseum in Rome
- The gladiators that fought inside the Colosseum
- Roman tactics and strategies during battle
- The Roman Senate
- Roman Engineering

Following on from this workshop, your pupils can write a diary entry from the perspective of a gladiator fighting inside the Colosseum. 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 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.

We cover the following topics using VR:

Rainforests, Space, Egyptians, Mayans, Volcanoes, Wonders of the World, Under the Sea, WW1, Polar Regions, Digestive System, Romans, Stone Age, Mountains, Americas, The Tudors, Vikings, Circulatory System, Africa, Animals, India & Beyond, Journey Across China, The Respiratory System and Around the World.

Over a full day, we can deliver a maximum of 8 workshops with up to 32 children in each (maximum of 256 children in a day). We bring in 16 VR headsets and we usually run our workshops with children sharing one headset between two. However, if you would prefer, we can split classes into two groups to allow children to have one headset each.

We deliver our workshops on the school-site. We require one classroom or hall for the day.

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