VR Experience Day for Y5 on the Mayans

Year 5 had an amazing experience, using the PrimeVR (https://primevr.co.uk) headsets, to explore the ancient ruins of the Mayan Civilisation.  Pupils were able to have a 360 degrees view of each site to explore artefacts and evidence of how they used to live.  We learnt about the games they played and how, if you lost, you would then be sacrificed!  You certainly did not wish to lose that game! 

Some Y5 Pupil feedback:

“It was really good ; it was great how we were able to see the pyramids and we learnt a bit about the Mayans.”

“I found it very amusing because it was 3D and whenever you turned around, you could see everything. You have a view as if you were in the air.”

“It was very realistic and we learnt about the different artefacts.”
