Poetry Celebration online at Boulby Underground

School workshop

  • Key Stage 2
  • Online
  • Free

Join us 1.1 km underground on a poetry journey to discover the exciting science happening at the lab, and learn more about writing poetry! How can we look for life on other planets, explore strange planetary surfaces and test robots for space by going deep below the Earth’s surface?

In this poetry workshop suitable for primary school children (KS2), you will join the team to hear some poems about the amazing science that takes place at the Boulby Underground Laboratory, 1.1 km below ground. Come along and hear perhaps the deepest verses on the planet and learn something new about the world around you. The session will contain poetry readings, time for questions and answers, and we will launch our poetry project inviting classes to write and send in their own poems.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for this event! Details for future events will be published throughout the year.
