VR Workshops for Primary Schools: Six Virtual Reality Journeys (Reception to Year 6)
Giant Journeys delivers virtual reality workshops for primary schools in your own hall, across the UK and Ireland. Pupils from Reception to Year 6 choose from six VR journeys, in 45 minute sessions, up to six a day, with every headset and all equipment provided.
A VR workshop turns a topic into a place pupils can stand in. In one session a class can travel inside the human body, cross the solar system, dive a coral reef or walk a rainforest, then talk about what they saw while it is still fresh.
Every journey is led by the Giant Journeys team. We bring the headsets, set up in your hall or a large classroom, run each class in turn and pack down at the end of the day.
Standard workshops cost £450 plus VAT for a half day of up to four sessions, or £650 plus VAT for a full day of up to six. Full details are on the pricing page.
