Pingu's Igloo - shivering in the Immersive Room

Three days  this week you'll find me shivering in the Antarctic. I will be helping Early Years children find out  where the naughty elves might have stashed a clue to Santa's Stolen Sack. Somewhere in Pingu's home is the clue but who else is hiding in there to pass on Christmas good wishes?

 This event will take place in the Immersive Room which was set up, at the then City Learning Centre, some 2-3 years ago. It consists of 6 projectors, three walls of screens and surround-sound. Pupils come to be immersed in a topic. The most popular session involves a trip into Space to collect data on the planets. Other experiences that I have been involved with include exploration of the Rainforest, Victorians, World War 2, and Japan.

Mine is a small part of an event organised by Inspire2Learn which promises to get children (and adults) into the spirit of the season.
