Step into the awe-inspiring world of Ancient Egypt. Through interactive VR experiences, students explore iconic landmarks, meet historical figures, and gain a deeper understanding of one of history's most influential civilisations.
The Ancient Egypt workshop transports Year 3 and 4 students to the land of the pharaohs through immersive VR. Children walk inside the Great Pyramid, explore temples, and experience the grandeur of Ancient Egyptian civilisation. Rather than studying hieroglyphics on paper, students see them in their original context.
Students engage in hands-on mummification activities, decode and write hieroglyphics, explore the River Nile and its importance to agriculture, and role-play in the Pharaoh's court. They handle replica Egyptian artefacts, discovering what objects tell us about ancient beliefs, technology, and daily life.
Book a full-day visit and choose a different VR topic for every year group — making it super specific to each class's curriculum and exceptional value for money.
Each session includes a Virtual Reality segment where students are transported back in time. Using class sets of VR headsets, children explore 360° recreations of historical environments — from walking through ancient temples to witnessing the Great Fire of London.
Every activity is designed to bring history to life. Your facilitator selects and adapts activities based on the year group.
