Animal Kingdom VR Journey: Animal Workshop for Primary Schools (Year 1 to Year 6)

Animal Kingdom VR Journey is a virtual reality animal workshop for primary schools, delivered in your hall by Giant Journeys across the UK and Ireland. Pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 soar with an eagle, meet a brown bear and swim with a hammerhead shark in 45 minute sessions, up to six classes a day, with all equipment provided.

Explore Earth’s Wildest Wonders Through Virtual Reality

Take your class on an unforgettable flight across the globe, deep into wild habitats, and right into the heart of the animal kingdom, all without leaving the school hall. In this immersive VR workshop, pupils will experience life from new perspectives, learn about animal behaviour and adaptation, and explore ecosystems as if they were really there.

Overview

Soar Like an Eagle Over the Alps

Strap into VR and glide on the back of a soaring eagle high above the snow-capped peaks of the Alps. Pupils will feel the wind, scan the landscape below, and discover how birds of prey use powerful vision and flight to survive in the sky.

Meet a Hungry Brown Bear

Descend into rugged forests and come face-to-face with a majestic brown bear as it forages for food. Pupils will observe feeding behaviours, discuss habitats, and explore food chains in this powerful VR encounter.

Great Hammerhead Shark Adventure

Dive beneath the waves and swim alongside one of the ocean’s most impressive predators. Children will explore marine life ecosystems, learn about adaptations that help sharks thrive, and reflect on food webs under the sea.

See Through the Senses of a Bee

Experience the world at insect scale as pupils see, smell, and navigate like a bee travelling between flowers. This mini-worlds perspective reveals pollination, plant relationships, and the vital role insects play in our ecosystems.

Cross a Crocodile-Infested River with Zebras

Join a brave herd of zebras on a dramatic river crossing. Pupils will observe group behaviour, survival strategies, predator-prey interactions, and the importance of teamwork in the wild.

Meet More Incredible Animals

From dense rainforests to icy tundras and coral reefs, our VR journey encounters a rich diversity of wildlife. Pupils will meet animals large and small, learn about habitats and adaptation, and consider human impact on ecosystems around the world.
