What's Included

VR + Resources

Discover the birthplace of Western civilisation

The Ancient Greece workshop transports Year 4 students to ancient Athens through immersive VR. Children explore the Acropolis, discover Greek mythology through storytelling, and experience the origins of democracy. Rather than studying ancient Greece as abstract concepts, students see and experience it.

Students engage in Greek pottery decoration, participate in Olympic games challenges, debate in the ancient Athenian style, and create dramatic scenes inspired by Greek theatre. They explore replica Greek artefacts, learning about the values and beliefs of ancient Greek people.

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.

What students take away

Every session is designed around measurable outcomes that align with the National Curriculum and build historical thinking skills.

Architectural appreciation

Students understand Greek architectural achievements and their influence on modern buildings.

Mythology and culture

Students know famous Greek myths and understand their cultural importance to ancient Greeks.

Socio-economic insight

Students understand how ancient Greek society was organised and the role of different groups.

Legacy of democracy

Students appreciate that ancient Greece gave the world democratic ideas we still use today.

Our Year 4 students were fascinated by the Olympics and surprised to learn they were religious festivals too. The democracy debate activity sparked real discussion about how decisions should be made — they were applying ancient ideas to modern situations.
