Daisy and Jasper are designing their very own virtual school. They will need a room for assemblies and lessons but what other things will they choose?
Jasper and Daisy are in the living room with a games console and VR headsets.
Our perfect school!
The game opens with a blank game grid as a school gate appears.
Here we go! Let’s design our perfect school. Hmmm a dinosaur, a robot…
The school gate is shown guarded by a dinosaur, a robot, then they select a crossing patrol.
…great choice, a crossing patrol will help us get there safely.
A school hall. Now we have somewhere for assembly and activities like… mountain biking?
Where are we going to do lessons? Yes, the classroom. We’re going to need a teacher to guide us.
Jasper and Daisy run through options that could be teachers, a giant spider with a tie on and an octopus with a beard.
To help teach everyone in subjects like maths, art and English, how about a teaching assistant.
The bell has just rung, but we’ve got nowhere to go for breaktime.
Jasper and Daisy create a large basic playground.
A playground… errrr a theme park?
Now you can spend time with your friends and ride the Skylauncher 3000.
There’s the bell again. Let’s practise a bit of quiet and relaxed reading after all that fun.
A parent has joined the game and is riding around the grounds on a dinosaur.
Some people never learn.
