May is always the month for school tours at Wandesforde! Unfortunately we are unable to have a school tour this year, however we thought you might like to take a virtual school tour at the suggested websites below! Even though it’s not going to be the same without your friends, your teachers, the bus journey and the school tour treats, it will keep you entertained while you stay at home. So sit back, get a little treat and enjoy the tours we have in store for you!! Also, if you get a chance, can you let us know in the comments box below which tours you explored and what you enjoyed 🙂

Some great tours there! Thank you! The kids particularly enjoyed no.29 virtual tour, annefrank and sandiego zoo!
Thank you Jan for your feedback. I really enjoyed the virtual tour of Number 29 and the Anne Frank Museum tour too! It’s definitely a school tour with a difference for us all this year but it’s nice to mark it in some way 🙂
