Freshwater Theatre Company facilitator delivering a Key Stage 2 Geography Workshop

Volcanoes and Earthquakes

Take cover! Journey to some of the world’s most dangerous places in our popular KS2 Volcanoes & Earthquakes workshop!

Led by the Earth Explorer (an adventure-loving traveller!), you will visit the sites of natural disasters. Then you’ll learn about the different stages of a volcano. And finally, find out the causes and effects of an earthquake.

With storytelling, role-play, and hands-on activities, our KS2 Volcanoes and Earthquakes workshop is an exciting and engaging way to explore your Extreme Earth topic.
