This field guide, inspired by Khemraj Sooknah and educators in Mauritius, covers the historical background of turtles; an introduction to the classification, maturity and reproduction in turtles; people, turtles and conservation; body structure of turtles; as well as identification pages and information on the Green Turtle, Olive Ridley Turtle, Loggerhead Turtle, Leatherback Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, as well as Marine Snakes.
 
Year of Special Days 2010 (R16.50). The "Year of Special Days 2010" booklet is designed to help educators plan school assemblies and learning activities. Each page in the booklet provides just enough information to launch learners and educators on a quest to find out more about a specific environmental day. Possible activities for each Special Day include inviting a guest speaker to assembly, planning active learning in line with the curriculum, or whole class/school activities around a chosen theme. For planning the school calendar, the centre page is a 2010 calendar showing commemorative days. A single page is allocated to each Special Day and includes interesting background information on the day; a guiding question to stimulate further enquiry; contact details to obtain more information; references to Share-Net and other materials that can support learning; and useful website addresses.

Puzzling Climate Change: A start-up pack of pictures (R50). "Puzzling Climate Change: A start-up pack of pictures" is a materials development project, funded by ABB through WWF-SA, that aims to support learners in exploring some of the concepts and questions around climate change. The pack can be used as a picture building activity and can provide starter points for deliberation and debate around climate change. It can also be used as a prompt to enable children to express what they know, think and feel about climate change, and it can be used to introduce other climate change materials. The pack includes:

• sixteen A5 picture cards with “Questions”, “Educator’s Notes” and “Topics to debate” on the back of each card. The “Educator’s Notes” are designed to assist teachers to add more detail and to raise questions that lead to discussions;
•  two identical sets of sixteen small picture cards; 
• a CD with an electronic version of the picture cards (should facilitators/teachers wish to adapt or rework the cards and questions), together with information on how to design and develop environmental games); 
• an A5 pocket guide from WWF on ‘The New Climate Deal’; and 
• a two page letter on Earth Hour 2010.
