History:
We spoke about the new flag as well as the old South African flag. I have taken some of the info from Wikipedia to answer your questions about where the smaller flags inside the bigger flag originate from.

                                 

National flag 1928–1994[edit]

• The flag was introduced by the Hertzog administration, after several years of political controversy. It was approved by Parliament in 1927, and first hoisted on 31 May 1928.
• The flag reflected the Union's predecessors. The basis was the 17th-century orange-white-blue Dutch flag, with the addition of a Union Jack to represent the Cape and Natal, the former Orange Free state flag, and the former South African Republic flag.
• Until 1957, the flag was flown subordinate to the British Union Jack.
• The flag remained unchanged when South Africa became a republic on 31 May 1961. However, there was pressure to change the flag, particularly from Afrikaners who resented the fact that the Union Flag was a part of the flag. The then prime minister, Dr Hendrik Verwoerd, had a "clean" flag, comprising three vertical stripes of orange, white, and blue, with a leaping Springbok over a wreath of six Proteas in the centre, designed, but he was assassinated before he could introduce it, and the project died with him in 1966.

Dear Parents, 
please note that we are learning about film techniques as part of our curriculum in English.The best way of learning the different shots and angles is by trying out these techniques ourselves.For this reason I have asked learners to bring a digital camera  or cellphone or tablet on Thursday and Friday.
The devices need to be tagged with the learner's name and handed in to me at the beginning of the day so I can store them safely.Learners must collect them from me at the end of the day. 



                              
                                             Anyone can do filming....

This is the palace I told you I had visited in Spain. It is called the Alhambra in the city of Granada. This is where King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain sentenced Columbus to be imprisoned.

The second picture shows the Morrocan influence in architecture when the Arabs had conquered parts of Spain. This must have been during the time of Ibn Battuta's travels before the Spaniards took back controlof this area.

History update: 
Oral presentations have been completed. We have heard many interesting facts and seen some really good pictures. Well done for your efforts!

We are still struggling with the skill of identifying key words or key phrases in a written speech, and then practising the speech with only those words so that our speech becomes more natural and we have the freedom to make eye-contact in order to keep the interest of our audience.

Notes to study from for the history cycle test have been handed out: 

• Christopher Columbus
• David Livingstone
• Summary of interesting facts on different Discoverers

History movie The Mission will be shown tomorrow between 2pm and 4.30pm. Remember that you need a signed reply slip to gain access :)

NB.This movie is not for very sensitive viewers.
