Every day, Mr Spencer heads out with one of his colleagues (whilst observing social distancing rules) to a different mystery spot, challenging viewers to guess where they are.
Speaking to Express about why he wanted to start this game, Mr Spencer said: “We’d like to think that students are being reassured by still seeing their teachers regularly, as well as promoting conversations at home about the island’s historical, geographical and spiritual features.
“This reinforces the resources and support that are already being provided via our remote learning platforms across the school.”
The Head of Geography said that so far, he and the other ‘Wallies’ have been visiting sites pertinent to the curriculum.

The game has been gaining traction on the schools’ social media pages and, according to Mr Spencer, has even given rise to some parent-pupil rivalry.
“We hugely miss our students, so seeing the enthusiasm, resilience and engagement in their responses to our Facebook and Twitter posts has been amazing for us to read – even more so the intense rivalry it has generated between themselves and their parents to spot where the ‘wallies’ have ended up!”
Even though the current health advice is to remain distanced from one another, Mr Spencer likes to think that this series is bringing teachers and students closer together.
“So, keep an eye out for a couple of Wallies exploring the island, two metres distant from each other, but connecting directly to our fantastic students.”
