On Wednesday 16th November all of KS2 had a visit from Google Expeditions.
Google Expeditions is a virtual reality teaching tool that lets you lead or join immersive virtual trips all over the world — get up close with historical landmarks, dive underwater with sharks, even visit outer space!
With Google Expeditions, pupils can take field trips right from their classroom. Expeditions allows a teacher acting as a “guide” to lead classroom-sized groups of “explorers” through collections of 360° and 3D images while pointing out interesting sights along the way.
We visited many different places that morning, including Mexico, Rio, under the sea, the moon and even travelled through a human heart!
The children loved it and here’s what they had to say about the experience.
“ It was like going on holiday without travelling anywhere” Ben Year 6
“ I could feel myself shaking with excitement” Chloe Year 5
“ It was that interesting , I want to do it all over again!” Febe Year 5
