Virtual Magic School

Virtual Magic School is a free to use, interactive digital learning resource for primary school children around Scotland and the UK. Created by Kevin Quantum, the course consists of 8 lessons full of illusions, tricks and lessons linked to the Scottish and English curricula. Children get to make choices through the lessons with buttons on the screen and are able to unearth hidden secrets and magic tricks. Each lesson is supported by an educational resource for teachers.
