Early Years, Year 1 and Year 2 Minibeast VR Workshop

Ladybird, Ladybird, fly away home,
Your house is on fire and your children all gone;
All except one, and that's little Ann,
And she has crept under the warming pan.

Early Years through to Year 2 have had a fabulous day. They got up close with some fascinating garden invertebrates in a science VR school workshop. They met some incredible beetles and insects and viewed the world from their perspective. They were taught some fascinating facts as they immersed in a 3D exploration of minibeast life.

The workshop included plenty of curriculum points from the 'Living Things & Their Habitats' and 'Animals' objectives such as classification, camouflage and defence mechanisms, diet and habitats, life cycles and adaptation. They shrunk to the viewpoint of a ladybird, entered a hive of busy honeybees and witnessed a caterpillar undergoing metamorphosis to a beautiful butterfly.   Wow it was amazing!
