The Americas VR Workshop

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

During the Americas workshop, your children will visit the following landmarks:

- New York, USA
- Grand Canyon, USA
- Chichen-Itza, Mexico
- Christ the Redeemer, Rio de Janeiro
- Angel Falls, Venezuela
- Machu Picchu, Peru

Whilst visiting each of these locations, our passionate educators will provide your pupils with a range of facts and answer any questions they may have.

Following on from this workshop, your pupils can write a travel blog about each of the landmarks they've visited across the Americas. Our literacy bundles include lesson plans, example texts and LKS2 and UKS2 writing checklists.

Curriculum topics available: Story telling.

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 Americas! Not only will we provide your class with exciting facts about the Americas 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 different landmarks they've visited across the Americas. Each lesson pack includes an instruction sheet, model text and writing checklist (relevant to LKS2 or UKS2).

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.
