Wicked Weather Watch

WELCOME

WWW brings climate change to life for students and teachers through workshops, talks, direct contact with those who have personally witnessed climate change in the polar regions, and by supporting teachers to integrate climate change into their every day teaching.

WWW helps to transform eco-anxiety into empowerment, turning education into meaningful, carbon-cutting action. We aim to support the wider school community, including teachers, families, governors and school managers to do the same.

Why focus on the Arctic?

Wicked Weather Watch was founded by Arctic Explorer, David Hempleman-Adams. David’s ambition has always been to educate students about the Arctic and how climate change is threatening this area of the world.

Over the past few decades, the annual average Arctic temperature has increased four times as fast as the rest of the world – having a detrimental impact on the Earth as a whole.

Virtual Arctic Multi-Schools Event

We have successfully launched our Virtual Arctic Multi-Schools Event, where we take schools from all across the country on a trip to the Arctic! We work with Create2Inspire to explore the question “What is so cool about the Arctic?”.

In one year of monthly sessions, we have taught nearly 3,000 pupils through our multi-school events alone. These engaging and exciting sessions keep children buzzing about this topic for days to come, with some even mentioning they were inspired to become prime ministers so they can combat climate change!

If you want your KS2 pupils to take part in one of our upcoming sessions on either the 18th of January 2024 or the 8th of February 2024 get in contact with Rhianna using the button below. For more information, check out Create2Inspire’s most recent blog post about the day or have a look at our one pager .

WWW provides talks and assemblies from Arctic explorers and climate change experts, as well as interactive workshops. All of our offerings are available in person or virtually. We aim to work mainly in the Southwest but are happy to work with schools outside of our area when possible.

We offer primary schools explorer talks, climate change expert talks, workshops on sustainability and the Arctic, and CPD for teachers.

We've taught over 22,000 pupils

...there has been a lot of discussion around climate change in the playground and in the classroom with children reminding people to turn off lights and discussing lunch choices that are better for the climate.

The children (and teachers!) found [the talk] really interesting and learnt so much. The photos were fascinating and the way [Terry] explained everything was perfect for the children. At the end they asked so many amazing questions about all sorts of things which really highlighted how engaged they were.

Such great work and so important for our children to learn about climate change!

"The session yesterday was fantastic thank you! I’ve had lots of positive feedback from KS2 teachers about how engaged the children were... it was great!"

"We really need to help the planet or all the cold areas will melt and make sea levels rise, causing lots of flooding. We can all play our part in [stopping] climate change!"

"Thank you so much for delivering such a brilliant workshop; the children were enthused and inspired by the whole morning. I hope that these [talks and workshops] will help the Green Team to set some exciting new goals for the school."
