Enrichment Week on Thefloorwithemptyplasticbottles September 2017 September Enrichment Week The Senior School staff worked hard to organise a wonderful and diverse programme for the girls in Grades 8 – 11 for Enrichment Week.

Despite the programme’s serious goals, there were some light and noisy moments on campus during the week when the Grade 9s learned to “drum” as a team on the floor with empty plastic bottles. One of the goals of enrichment is to balance attaining vital academic abilities and skills with good character and standards of responsibility. The programme for each grade is designed to challenge the thinking of students in such a way that, as they engage, probe, reflect and think creatively in a range of spaces Girls were treated to a talk by Ambre Nicolson, on and off campus, they develop a deeper author of ‘A – Z of Amazing South African Women’, poetry by local poet Shimoney Rhode, and many other understanding of the world around them as a inspiring poetry sessions.

' . t. c .-: . The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgement of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Published by the University of Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. This dissertation has two components, one History and one Education, and the central unifying theme is Environmental History. The History component examines the historiography of this sub-discipline, and then applies an environmental analysis as an example of its use in historical research. The second component explores the use of Environmental History in the teaching of school history, and presents a curriculum model which uses this approach. Both components use the Liesbeek River valley in the Cape Peninsula as a case-study. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I need to start off by thanking the person who provided the spark from which this dissertation grew: in June 1994, when I was rather desperately casting about for a research topic which would satisfy both the historical and education components of the course, Howard Phillips of the History Department at UCT mentioned the term "Environmental History".

Her hands are never idle, weaving and spinning a livelihood to keep her family together, her work good enough for even white people, my father says, the patterns out of a secret book in her head dipped in starch and ironed to attention.

  • Green Map Impacts Book Project in 2007 in Order to Help People Worldwide See and Understand the Many Tangible Results That Can Stem from Green Mapmaking
    Six New Stories Inside! Introduction Now updated with 6 new stories! Keiko Nakagawa (Director of Green Map Aichi) and Misako Yomosa (Executive Director of Green Map Japan, Inc.) conceptualized the Green Map Impacts book project in 2007 in order to help people worldwide see and understand the many tangible results that can stem from Green Mapmaking. The publication of a Green Map is not the end of the process, rather it is the starting point for a new appreciation of and engagement with community sustainability. With this book, you can feel the awareness and involvement of Mapmakers and their communities grow as positive environmental changes take place around the globe. Green Map Impacts started out with articles from the Aichi, Japan region, the prefecture that hosted the successful nature-themed Aichi Expo 2005. This book then expanded to include a selection of global Green Map impacts. Each story is written by local experts and provides first-hand insight into how their Green Map projects impacted biodiversity, education, community building, public planning, workplace practices and more. We hope Green Map Impacts’ stories will provide guidance for improving the environment and supporting climate- smart actions in your community. We invite you to get involved locally by creating and/or using Green Maps, too! Find more about each Green Map project at GreenMap.org Find this book and additional impacts at GreenMap.org/impacts What is a Green Map? A Green Map® is a locally-made map that uses Green Map Icons to highlight sustainability sites, path- ways and resources in communities worldwide.
