The children in KS2 were treated to a virtual field trip, when the Google for Education ‘Expedition Team’ visited school last week. 

About Google Expeditions:

Expeditions is a new product that allows teachers to take their classes on virtual field trips, immersing students in experiences that bring abstract concepts to life and giving students a deeper understanding of the world beyond the classroom.

The trips are collections of virtual reality panoramas ”” 360° photo spheres, 3D images and video, ambient sounds ”” annotated with details, points of interest, and questions that make them easy to integrate into the curriculum.

While nothing replaces hopping on the bus for a field trip, Expeditions provide an unparalleled opportunity for supplemental learning. 

Here are some pictures of the children in year 4/5 enjoying their experience!
