Sport & VR Journey
A unique and exciting blend of Virtual Reality and physical activity, inspired by the Olympic Games.
Our Sport & VR Journey works with one class at a time and begins by selecting a country to represent.
Using VR headsets, pupils first explore iconic landmarks from their chosen country before travelling back in time to Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
There, they will discover the former site of the legendary Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Using VR headsets, pupils begin their journey by exploring iconic landmarks from their chosen country, stepping into places they may never have seen before.
This virtual adventure helps bring geography and culture to life, giving children a deeper connection to the country they are representing.
They then travel back in time to Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games.
Here, pupils discover how the Games began, why they were so important in the ancient world, and what life was like for the athletes who competed thousands of years ago.
Once the virtual exploration is complete, it’s time to get moving.
Children swap headsets for trainers and take part in a series of Olympic-inspired physical challenges, competing proudly for their chosen country.
From sprinting through laser gates to testing speed and coordination, pupils are encouraged to challenge themselves and celebrate personal achievement as much as winning.
A favourite moment for many is racing to beat Usain Bolt’s record-breaking time of 1.74 seconds, adding excitement, motivation and plenty of cheers.
Throughout the session, teamwork and sportsmanship are at the heart of the experience.
Pupils support one another, build confidence, and develop a positive attitude towards physical activity, all while learning about the history and values of the Olympic Games.
This journey brings together sport, history and technology in a way that is energetic, inclusive and memorable for all.
