Due to the effects of human-driven Climate Change, we have seen an increase in the frequency of extreme weather events across the world. These events happen more and more often as temperatures across the globe rise. In order to communicate what this means to your students, familiarise them with each of these types of weather events using the slideshow below. We encourage you to make connections with your students about major climate events that have happened near your school to better convey how this impacts our daily lives.
By fostering an understanding of each type of weather event, you can help your students develop a connection between their individual sustainable actions and the protection of our planet. By encouraging them to live with the health of our planet in mind, they will see how their personal efforts can make a real-world impact, such as helping to reduce the chances of other future extreme weather events by lowering global temperatures.

Organising a school newspaper is an excellent way to get not only your fellow peers, but also your whole community, more involved and connected! Going out into your school or neighborhood to find material to write about is a wonderful opportunity to get to know more people in your community, while also keeping everyone else in your community more informed about local events. Creating a school paper will also allow you to advance your writing and storytelling skills!
Having a school newspaper is also a great chance for you to practice your delegation skills. A successful newspaper will require a team of multiple students, who are each given different tasks to complete for the paper. Delegating different sections of the paper to each student will allow you to practice working on a team towards a common goal, despite carrying out different tasks. Some examples of different positions you may want to include are Chief Editor, Designer, Community News Writer, Sports Writer, Opinion/Interview Columnist, and many more!
