Re: Teaching Children PC

["Marsha Hanzi" <hanzibra@svn.com.br>]

Also "AChildrenīs Food Forest"  by Carolyn Nuttall, which is specific to Permaculture...I lost her e-mail when my computer blew but
I am sure some Australian participant can  confirm her present address..

'Sharing Nature with Children' by Joseph Cornell (1979, Dawn Publications, ISBN 0-916124-14-2,
14618 Tyler Foote Road, Nevada City, CA 95959)- 'The Classic Parent's & Teachers Nature Awareness
Guidebook'- lots of activities and games aimed at developing awareness & knowledge of nature &
natural systems/observation.

'Muck & Magic' by Jo Readman (1993, Henry Doubleday Researxch Association/Search Press- ISBN 0
85532 757 X)- A children's guide to organic gardening published by the UK's HDRA, with games &
activities and good clear illustrations.

'Children's Gardening' by Peter Please (1991, Horticultural Therapy, ISBN 0 9521074 0 6)- describes
itself as a resource pack for teachers using gardening with children, including educational
processes and the therapuetic potential of gardening- perhaps somebody from the Assoc will be able
to feed back?


Hope these help,

Also in the UK the Permaculture Association is looking at specifically developing permaculture
education to fit in with the National Curriculum- there is a working party looking at this but I
don't know how far down the road they are....
