Immersive Theatres’ Birth of Planet Earth Workshop
Scientists predict that our galaxy is filled with solar systems, including up to a billion planets roughly the size of our own. Yet why, in our search for exoplanets (planets orbiting other stars) have we yet to find one like the Earth? Drawing on current scientific ideas, supercomputer models and state-of-the-art visuals, this spectacular 360° film attempts to answer such ponderous questions.
Is Our World Unique in the Milky Way Galaxy? – will we ever find an exoplanet that shares the same size, tilt, orbit, and distance from its sun as the Earth (necessary attributes that contributed to the evolution of life on our planet)?
Witness the Violent Birth of our Planet – how did Earth become a living planet following the Solar System’s violent birth? Where did our Moon come from? Students also get to handle the oldest object they will ever touch – a 4,600 million year-old meteorite – an unchanged relic dating back to the birth of the Solar System.

Join a father and his daughter Lucy, who share a fascination for all things that fly, on an adventure like no other. Navigating from continent to continent, exploring an Earth teeming with dinosaurs, they search for clues to the origins of flight. The film is followed by a presenter-led and interactive discussion on fossils, life on Earth, and the geological timeline.
Natural Selection – travel with Charles Darwin on the HMS Beagle to the Galapagos Islands, where he was inspired to discover the astounding biological process of natural selection. From the comfort of Down House in Kent, Darwin himself describes the mechanism of natural selection with numerous beautiful examples and glorious 360˚ visuals. The film is followed by a presenter-led and interactive discussion illustrating modern-day examples of evolution in action.

Immersive Theatres’ Dynamic Earth Workshop
Animals, volcanoes, natural fires, and hydrothermal vents have always produced significant amounts of carbon dioxide (CO₂) – so why are we concerned about CO₂ levels today? The Earth has experienced colder – and hotter – epochs in the past. Are increasing global temperatures not simply due to natural cycles?
Discover the Interlocking Systems that Shape our Climate – help your students achieve a global understanding of climate change, as these questions and more are answered in our 360° dome show addressing the causes of the climate emergency. Group discussion is preceded by a stunning 360° film exploring the inner workings of the global climate, with rich visualisations based on satellite data and supercomputer simulations.
Why are CO₂ Levels of Critical Importance to Planets? – during the performance we measure CO₂ levels inside the dome, and compare them to what are considered to be normal levels today, as well as in the recent past. We follow the path of energy from the Sun into the global systems that shape our climate: atmosphere, oceans and biosphere.

Oxford University Museum of Natural History’s Evolution Solution Online Lesson
Explore how evolution has shaped the diversity of life around us.
Discover how Alfred Russel Wallace and Charles Darwin used their encounters with nature to describe how natural selection drives the evolution process and so how all modern terrestrial vertebrates evolved from a common ancestor that first conquered the land.
This bizarre creature, somewhere between fish and early four-legged land animals, is called Tiktaalik. The more scientists learn about this 375 million-year-old beast, now long extinct, the more it intrigues them. Recent discoveries suggest its strong pelvis and hind limbs allowed it to move effectively through water, but also to clamber on the river bed and possibly onto mudflats. In the session, Tiktaalik is used as an example of how animals moved out of the water and onto land and how that relates to the history of life on Earth.

Seven Stories’ Dare Dream Believe Imagine KS2 Workshop
In this creative workshop they take inspiration from author Sita Brahmachari’s beautiful book The River Runs Gold, which highlights the urgent need to tackle environmental destruction. Sita was gifted a banner by young students who were inspired by her book and had created the banner for use in the Friday for Futures marches. That very climate change banner was donated to their collection by Sita in 2021. She said:
“I felt a strong urge to leave this beautiful banner and my notebook at Seven Stories as COP26 closed and the calls from the young people of our globe were echoing everywhere… urgent calls to save the planet. It’s my hope that this and the other creative 3D objects that have grown up around my stories will be exhibited and continue to pass on their empathy charges.”
This workshop is an opportunity for students to design and make their very own ‘story’ banner that expresses what is important to them through illustration and creative writing.
Seven Stories understand that early years education is the foundation of a child’s future development. It is in these formative years that a lifelong love of learning is developed and nurtured. Seven Stories is here to support teachers and educators by developing an educational programme that not only encourages a love of reading but supports critical thinking, personal, social and emotional development and communication and language skills. Seven Stories will help to build confidence, resilience and perseverance using a range of different texts, both fiction and non-fiction, role-play, rhymes and poems.

Together with their team of Story Catchers, students will research and collect evidence to prove the theory that dragons could be real. Using a range of materials and texts they’ll look at myths from around the world, other cultures and local folklore – as nearby as the Lambton Worm – to discover the truth!

Take Me To London’s Nature and Us in The British Museum Tour
‘The way we see the world shapes the way we treat it. If a mountain is a deity, not a pile of ore; if a river is one of the veins of the land, not potential irrigation water; if a forest is a sacred grove, not timber; if other species are biological kin, not resources; or if the planet is our mother, not an opportunity — then we will treat each other with greater respect’ – David Suzuki
Join Take Me To London on a guided tour of The British Museum where we will be looking at objects and artworks and discover how our relationship with Nature has changed throughout history. How this relation changed when we started farming, building cities, the connection of faith, mythology and nature and how we tried to gain control over the natural world.
