A digital resource for Years 6 to 8 that confronts the Climate Emergency.

The Storm is a powerful film with accompanying resources to ignite your pupils’ imaginations and provide space for them to share their views and deepen their knowledge of the Climate Emergency.

The year is 2050. Frankie lives with her Mum, Dad & little sister Kiki, in an imagined future world which is shaped by the effects of climate change. The weather is violent and unpredictable, and areas are separated into zones to manage supplies and resources.

Frankie has been out, planting trees and working on a rewilded farm, but she has made a stop to fix her broken bag before approaching the zone gates. When a storm hits earlier than forecast, Frankie must face her fears, manage her anxiety, and take steps to get back to her family and to safety.

The resources could be used by a single teacher but also present an opportunity for a team of teachers to work together. Step 1 could sit well with English, Drama or PSHE teachers, and Step 2 could sit well with Science or Geography teachers.

Cost: Free to Rochdale Schools, fee highly subsidised for schools outside of Rochdale. Contact [email protected] for more information.
