Life exhibition goes virtual.

Life exhibition, run by Counties, is a portable, multi-media experience, designed for primary school children. It works alongside existing RE teaching, to help children learn about the story of Jesus and his relevance today.

It is aimed at KS2 children, although sessions can be shortened to include children in Y3. So far over 120,000 children have seen it.

The original exhibition is an immersive experience, using interactive tablets, QR codes, graphics, quizzes, films, songs and a discussion café, which are contained in different pods. Lessons normally last for about an hour. Normally, children walk through different pods as they are talked through how aspects of Jesus’ life relate to your LAS, but due to lockdown this has been an impossibility.

So, to make this resource available again, Counties has now designed the Virtual Life exhibition which can be shown in any classroom on Zoom or other video conferencing platform.

Katie Gooch, from Sidegate Primary School, was involved in one of the first trials and said:

“Our Year 6 children have been missing visits this term. They had a fantastic interactive virtual visit to the Life exhibition yesterday. Three classes were able to join the guided visit via Zoom. They loved the questions, misconception-quashing, links to religious texts they have explored, videos and music. As a teacher, it was great to hear the children’s confidence in discussing points based on their own or others’ Worldviews.”

The virtual exhibition costs just £30 per lesson.
