  Climate Crisis Project

  "Another world is not only possible, she is on her way. On a quiet day, I can hear her breathing."
  Arundhati Roy (Indian Author and Man Booker Prize winner)

  In this area you can find resources to support your teaching about the Climate Crisis.  Materials will be added to over time here and are especially suitable for KS2 and KS3, but many will also be adaptable for younger children as well as for older young people.

  A small group of HIAS colleagues have been working together on these materials; they include:

  • Jayne Stillman, County Inspector/Adviser Visual Arts

  Our Climate Change Forest

  Hampshire schools have communicated their messages about Climate Crisis in an art installation during summer 2021. It has featured in the grounds of Winchester Cathedral and some have moved on to The Sir Harold Hillier Gardens in Romsey.

  The art installation shares the responses to the issue of Climate Change and it communicates schools’ messages and children’s voices about what they are thinking about the many issues that concern them.
