Virtual Reality is a computer technology with scenes and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are immersed in their surroundings. The project included a visit from a Virtual Reality facilitator who provided the pupils with a new and innovative learning experience using software Virtual Reality goggles which were worn by the pupils. The pupils had the chance to experience famous cities and natural features of other countries. They  visited football stadiums and haunted houses and imagined that they were on a Roller coaster.

A micro:bit is a piece of technology that can be programmed to do different things; it can be a digital watch, a fitness tracker or a games console. Using micro:bits encourages children to learn basic coding and programming, important skills in today’s tech savvy world. During the programme, teachers and pupils received training from a facilitator and pupils will successfully write a code and programme micro:bits. The children have had lots of fun learning about coding.
