The Vineyard School Summer Fair will feature a new form educational technology: Virtual Reality for education.
Wearing headsets while under direction of an educational guide, Google's Virtual Reality Expeditions give an unforgettable immersive experience in a place most people cannot normally go. It is like your own private IMAX film.
Students and parents can swim with sharks amid coral reefs, look up at the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel and other great monuments or admire the landscape of Mars - as if you are standing there!
We have a limited number of sessions and headsets, so sign up immediately for your child (and yourself) to experience the educational power of Virtual Reality.
Thanks to the generosity of Google, all money from tickets (£3 per person) goes directly to the PTA.
