Year 4 visit The Imagination Lab

All Year 4 pupils had a very exciting last day of term

before Easter when they went to the Imagination Lab

to build, create and experiment, as well as experience

virtual reality.

The visit’s theme, which was sponsored by Rolls-Royce,

was Reality. Children learned how to build their own

machines with moving cogs and wheels and created 3D

models using computer software.

They also enjoyed exploring the world of virtual reality,

where they visited many different places around the

world.
