KS2 pupils enjoyed an exciting and immersive learning experience today as the school welcomed a special visitor to explore the animal kingdom using virtual reality technology.
Emma, a VR expert from the Education Group, visited the school to deliver an engaging virtual reality session that took pupils on a journey through the five main groups of animals. Using VR headsets, children were able to explore animals and their habitats in a vivid, interactive way that brought learning to life far beyond the classroom.
Each year group took part in a 40‑minute session with the VR devices, ensuring that all KS2 pupils had the opportunity to fully engage with the technology. The sessions were carefully designed to enhance pupils’ understanding of animal classification while supporting the science curriculum.
The experience was highly engaging and very exciting, with pupils showing curiosity, enthusiasm, and a real sense of wonder throughout the day. Staff were impressed by how focused and motivated the children were during the sessions.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Friends of School, whose generous funding made this fantastic experience possible. Their continued support helps to provide enriching opportunities that inspire and enhance our pupils’ learning.
