Our workshops are a great way of bringing the curriculum to life without the hassle of organising a school trip! During our Stone Age workshop, your children will learn all about:
- A typical Stone Age settlement
- Theories behind how Stonehenge was built
- Theories behind why it was built
Whilst exploring a typical Stone Age settlement and Stonehenge, our passionate educators will talk your class through all of the theories and ideas surrounding them.
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 topics do we cater for?
Prehistory
Stone Age
PrimeVR can bring your history topic to life by transporting your pupils back in time to the Stone Age! Using virtual reality headsets, we'll take your class to see some typical Stone Age houses and we'll show them how Stonehenge might have been built and what it might have been used for. We'll also introduce your children to the mega-beasts that roamed Britain over 10,000 years ago!
English
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 Stone Age! Not only will we provide your class with exciting facts about life during the Stone Age 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 how Stonehenge was built and what it might have been used for. Each lesson pack includes an instruction sheet, model text and writing checklist (relevant to LKS2 or UKS2).
What size groups do we 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.

Visitors with Special Educational Needs (SEN)
We have extensive experience delivering workshops in a wide range of SEN settings, working with students from KS2 through to KS4. The feedback we have received from schools about our VR workshops has been overwhelmingly positive. We offer a range of workshops that can be adapted to suit the individual needs of your students.
Before confirming a booking, we arrange a call with the school to discuss your students’ needs in detail. This allows us to explain how the day will run, what you can expect from the sessions, and to agree on any additional measures or adjustments that may be needed to ensure all students feel comfortable and supported.
To make our visits viable, we encourage whole-school participation (KS2 and above). Our workshops are highly engaging and immersive, so we recommend a maximum session length of 30 minutes per class to help prevent fatigue or sensory overload.
Our VR headsets are accessible for students who use wheelchairs. Depending on individual preference, the headset strap can be worn over the head or the device can simply be held up to the eyes like a pair of binoculars. If any students find the headset overwhelming, we also provide tablets as an alternative (usually up to four per visit). This ensures that all students can still take part and engage with the content in a way that feels comfortable for them.
As our workshops are predominantly visual, students with hearing impairments are still able to benefit from the experience.
For safety reasons, we recommend that students who are prone to seizures or who have epilepsy consult with a medical professional before using a VR headset. We also require parental or guardian consent for all students who will be using our VR equipment.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss how we can support your school or if you have any questions about our SEN-friendly approach.

Our Reviews from Schools..
★★★★★
A fantastic immersive day for the Y3 children to explore the Stone Age. Thoroughly enjoyable and full of excellent factual information for the
children to take away
Stone Age
★★★★★
It is always a special moment when the children in your class are so incredibly excited about something that they talk about it for hours and then days afterwards.
Having Chris from the PrimeVR team really enhanced our Stone Age topic and hooked the children into their learning about volcanoes. I was so lovely seeing the surprise on their faces and hearing the numerous "Ooo's and wow's."
I would thoroughly recommend them and I will certainly look at booking them again for next year.
