Hobbies = Balance in 2014 One New Year’s resolution all of us should keep is to have a proper work or school - life balance. • • • •
you. Learn to play an instrument. There are so many to choose from! Is your New Year resolution to lose weight? Maybe it’s time to join an organised sport. Master a new language! Sign up for pottery or cooking classes Maybe you are more a people-person and enjoy meeting new people. Take a hobby that involves other people: • Wine Tasting • Flea markets • Bingo • Bowling • Team sports • Book Clubs
Don’t make procrastination the thief of your time. Get up from the couch and make 2014 AWSUM! Choosing your hobby Hobbies should never interfere with time spent working or with time spent with the family. Write down you schedule to find time that you can devote to your hobby. Hobbies for the family The whole family can participate in a hobby. Here are a few options: • If you like adventure and exploration, try hiking or camping • Establish your own movie club and watch a movie once a week. Make popcorn, put on your pj’s and then talk about the movie afterwards. • Scrapbooking is also a popular family hobby. Print family photos and decorate scrapbook pages together. More hobbies to choose from: • Gardening: whether you live in the city or countryside, it’s easy to enjoy gardening. • Photography is the perfect hobby for someone with a creative eye.

If you want to be certain, you should never get married. You should never change jobs. In fact, you might as well just stay home. Because I don’t know anybody who is certain. That need to be certain is just procrastination. Mark Burnett
“
Balancing work and life means making time for work, making time for family and making time for yourself and when you choose a hobby you can find a way to express your personal interests. Other advantages include time to relax to reduce stress levels, a physical hobby can promote exercise and you can also find new skills and uncover hidden talents. You may also meet new friends, keep your brain sharp or make money. The benefits are endless.
Tick this list in 2014
Sometimes, the smallest of household tasks are overlooked therefore the New Year signifies a fresh start in the home and is the perfect time to check them all off your list. Here are 10 simple but essential housekeeping chores you might not have remembered to do: 1. Rotate your mattress at least once a year. 2. Feather, down, and synthetic pillows should be washed once a year to eliminate oils, residue, dead skin, and dust that inevitably settle in the pillows and make them sag. 3. If you don’t remember changing your toothbrush within the last six months, change them all. 4. Now is a good time to take stock of your inventory and replace, repurpose, or give away any linens that are worn, ripped, stained, or otherwise unused, collecting dust in the closet. 5. Refresh closet sachets, or make new ones. 6. UV rays are an excellent (and green and free) source of disinfectant. You can’t exactly throw a rug into the washer, but you can easily haul it outside, fling it over a railing (or on a clean surface), and give it a few hours in direct sun to air it out and kill any bacteria in the fibers. 7. Rugs placed near windows and doors will eventually fade from the bright, hot rays streaming in (even if it’s indirect light), so it’s important to spin them around 180 degrees (after you air them out, of course!) and expose the other side to sun for even fading. 8. Give your cutting boards a good scrub using our all-natural solution, then oil them up to ensure they’ll last through the next holiday season. 9. Gather up your unused canned goods, ill-fitting clothes, outgrown toys, obsolete electronics, and recent gifts you have a feeling you’ll never use, and drop them off at the appropriate food banks, charities, thrift stores, or electronic recycling centers. 10. To be prepared for tax time (and maybe give yourself a little motivation), clean out your receipt drawer to make room for new receipts.

The School Bag Dilemma
For most parents, it’s an achievement to get the children to school in time with everything they need (homework, the signed consent forms, the right sports kit, musical instruments, the cake for the charity fundraiser). You can`t tell your children not to bring their textbooks to and from school – but what if the consequences of a consistently overloaded backpack is neck, back and shoulder pain? Children’s skeletons are still developing, and having a heavy bag slung over one shoulder can exert unnatural force on the
spine, muscles and attachments. Rather like exercising only one side of your body in the gym, you quickly get unilateral muscle-loading, which can cause the small muscles in the back to tighten and compress the spine. Studies show children should not carry any more than 10 per cent of their body weight and that anything over 15 per cent can cause back, neck and shoulder pain, headaches and other spinal discomfort, not to mention aggravate pre-existing spinal conditions such as scoliosis. Young people are made even more
vulnerable to back problems by their increasing inactivity — muscles don’t develop properly if you spend your time playing computer games instead of running around. This is compounded by poor posture and one-size-fits-all furniture. It’s been shown that if you experience back pain as a child, you are four times more likely to have to endure back pain as an adult. The first priority in purchasing a backpack is to select function over fashion. Here are a few criteria to consider when choosing a better functional backpack: • The backpack should fit properly (not too long or too short). • It should have wide, padded adjustable straps (for proper positioning so the pack sits high on the back and close to the spine.) • A backpack with a hip strap or lumbar pillow provides additional protection. The hip strap, when used can distribute a portion of the weight to the hips, easing the load on the spine and shoulders. The use of a lumbar pillow will provide the necessary back support to the lumbar region, where the greatest portion of weight is being carried. A backpack stuffed with the “extra” book, binder electronic device or water bottle could easily add an unnecessary 5kg. Parents need to show their children
the importance of loading and carrying their backpacks appropriately. The heaviest items should rest against the back, which means loading them first and attempting to distribute the weight evenly. Remember that when it comes to choosing a backpack or school bag, think function before fashion. Your child`s health depends on it. If you need more advice on the subject – talk to your chiropractor who is an expert in spinal health.

Jean de Villiers shares tips on how to ensure a healthy new year “As a professional rugby player, it is very important for me to eat the right food and stay in shape,” says Jean de Villiers, Captain of the national rugby team and Resolution Health Medical Scheme representative. “Apart from the set meals compiled by our fitness trainer when we are on tour, I try to eat four to six small meals which include fresh fruit and vegetables as well as a balance of protein and carbohydrates when at home. Obviously I try to steer clear of junk foods but do spoil myself occasionally with a pizza. After all everyone deserves a treat every now and again.” According to de Villiers, eating foods that are low in calories do not necessarily mean you are doing the right thing for your body. “The foods you include in your diet need to be nutritious and provide energy that is sustainable. For example, when we are doing intense training I take some whey protein and glutamine supplements to help with recovery. It also assists me to be fresh for the next day’s training,” he says. De Villiers also highlighted the importance of exercise in leading a healthy lifestyle, particularly in light of a recent survey finding that 49% of South Africans do not exercise at all. “You don’t necessarily have to visit the gym five times a week to work on your fitness levels. You can incorporate exercise into your hobbies as well. For example, apart from my rigorous training schedule, I like to be active during my downtime by playing a round of golf with my mates and walking my dogs. In fact, an average 18-hole round of golf requires anything between three and
five hours of walking, translating into a good workout while doing what you love most. “Training forms a very big part of my life and in a normal week we would have six to 10 training sessions and then a game on the weekend. A typical training session would include spending time in the gym combined with on-field sessions. Each session would last anything from 60min to 120min and the intensity would vary,” says De Villiers. Healthy adults should ideally aim for 30minutes of moderate intensity physical activity per day, five times a week with the aim being to increase the resting heart rate for the entire period. This threshold is usually around 180 beats per minute minus your age, provided the individual is otherwise healthy.

Die rol van ʼn Spraakterapeut in Hoërskole Elana Loubser Spraakterapeut Pret en Leer Opvoedkundige Sentrum
Die gedagte dat ʼn hoërskool leerling spraakterapie ontvang voel dalk vreemd vir baie mense. Spraakterapeute werk egter nie slegs met spraakproduksie, die uitspraak van klanke, nie. Hoërskoolleerlinge ondervind egter vele male probleme met hul akademie waar die oorsprong van probleme gegrond is in taal of luistervaardighede en dit kan dan deur ʼn spraakterapeut aangespreek word. Spraakterapeute word soms Spraak- en taalterapeute of selfs Spraak-, taal- en gehoorterapeute genoem en dit beskryf die beroep dalk ʼn bietjie beter, aangesien terapeute in skole meestal aan taalgebaseerde probleme werk. In die hoërskool populasie word leerlinge gesien vir probleme met enige van die volgende: hakkel, uitspraak van klanke, spraakspoed, stemprobleme byvoorbeeld heesheid, taalprobleme byvoorbeeld taalbegrip en taalgebruik, asook luistervaardighede. ʼn Leerling met ʼn taalagterstand se taal is soms merkbaar agter, maar ʼn leerling met spesifieke taalprobleme
Perdeterapie Perdeterapie (ook bekend as hippoterapie) is ‘n arbeids-, fisio-, spraakterapie, asook sielkundige strategie waar die perd se beweging gebruik word vir terapie. Dit maak ‘n integrale deel uit van ‘n terapeutiese program vir kinders met verskeie diagnoses. Van dié sluit in serebraal gestremdheid, outisme, leergestremdheid, ontwikkelingsagterstand, sensoriese integrasie disfunksie, ensovoorts. Perdeterapie fokus op terapeutiese doelstellings, nie op die leer van perdry nie. ‘n Perd word gekies vir terapie om rede sy ritmiese beweging, asook die hoeveelheid stimulasie wat die kind kry gradeer kan word. Die beweging van die perd stimuleer die van ‘n mens se heupe tydens loop, en die terapeut kan die beweging saam met aktiwiteite gebruik om die terapeutiese doel te bereik. Wat baie belangrik is, is dat die kind en die perd ‘n spesiale band ontwikkel, en die kind ‘n ‘ruiter’ identiteit ontwikkel. Arbeidsterapeute gebruik die beweging van
is moeiliker om te identifiseer en toon soms probleme in vaardighede soos wiskunde waar die leerling dalk sukkel om probleme op te los en dit dan dui op probleme om die taal van wiskunde korrek te verstaan. Leerlinge toon ook soms probleme met begripstoetse of om die taal in geskrewe werk korrek te verstaan. Luistervaardighede kan ook ʼn probleem wees en kan veroorsaak dat die leerling sukkel om die gesproke woord volkome te begryp of om instruksies korrek uit te voer. In sulke gevalle kan taalterapie die leerling ondersteun. Wanneer ʼn leerling probleme soos hierdie ondervind, is dit dalk wys om vir ʼn volledige evaluasie by ʼn spraakterapeut te gaan om vas te stel of die probleme in taal gegrond is of nie. Daarna behoort daar duidelikheid te wees watter roete gevolg moet word om hierdie probleme uit te stryk en beter akademiese prestasie tot volg te hê. Anine de Jongh Arbeidsterapeut Pret en Leer Opvoedkundige Sentrum die perd om motoriese beheer, posturale kontrole, koördinasie, balans, aandag en konsentrasie, sensoriese prosessering, uitvoering van daaglikse aktiwiteite, visuele perseptuele vaardighede, motoriese ontwikkeling, selfbeeld, sosiale vaardighede, en vele meer te verbeter. Die positiewe effek op die bogenoemde komponente kan ‘n merkwaardige invloed hê op die kind se funksionering in die klaskamer en ‘n positiewe bydrae lewer tot skolastiese ontwikkeling en vooruitgang. Om in aanraking te kom met sulke pragtige, groot diere verrig wondere in hierdie kinders, sowel as hulle naasbestaandes se lewens.

Live healthy with your own vegetable garden Wouldn’t we all love to cook with organic vegetables, but our busy schedules force us to buy not so fresh veggies from the local supermarket. Growing your own vegetable garden isn’t only a fun-filled activity, but also rewarding when you can cook out of your garden. We share a few tips with you to get that garden going: 1. Soil For most types of gardens, the perfect soil is a quality light loam made up of nutrient-rich organic matter and a composition of relatively equal amounts of sand, silt and clay. In general, the more organic matter the better. Not sure what kind of soil you’re working with? Simply grab a handful of moist (not saturated) soil and squeeze. If the clump falls apart as soon as you open your hand, you’re dealing with a very sandy soil; if the clump stays intact, then your soil contains too much clay. Loamy soils hold together to some degree, but crumble when poked; that’s what you want to see. Once the soil type is determined, you should run a basic soil test to determine its pH as well as the nitrogen, potassium and phosphorous levels. Many universities and extension offices offer soil testing, but home tests (obtained at your local nursery or online) are satisfactory. 2. Which is better – seeds or seedlings? It’s certainly easier to start your vegetable garden by planting directly into the garden, by-passing indoor seed starting and transplanting. However some vegetables take several months to mature from seed, so it’s just not practical to direct sow them in the garden where the growing season is short. That’s why, when it comes to long season plants like tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, most gardeners either start their own plants indoors or purchase seedlings
from the nursery. The choice between direct seeding and transplanting seedlings comes down to 2 basic questions: 1. 2.
Does the vegetable transplant well? Is your growing season long enough for the vegetables to mature when planted from seed?
Vegetables that are usually direct seeded: Beans, beets, carrots, corn, cucumbers, garlic, lettuce, micro greens, peas, pumpkins, radishes, squash, turnips and watermelons. Vegetables that transplant well: Basil, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, celery, chard, chives, collards, eggplant, mustard, onions, parsley, peppers and tomatoes. 3.Garden VS Containers and pots You don’t need a plot of land to grow fresh vegetables. Many vegetables lend themselves well to container gardening. With some thought to selecting bush or dwarf varieties, almost any vegetable can be adapted to growing in a pot. Even if you want your favorite full-size variety, if you give it a large enough pot and plenty of soil and water, it will grow just fine and reward you with plenty. You can use soil in your container vegetable garden, but potting mixes are much better. Peat-based mixes, containing peat and vermiculite, are excellent. 4.No space? Do it indoors! Growing edibles indoors gives you year-round access to seasonal favourites.
Be sure to get your sleep this year An increase in the amount and quality of shut-eye should be at the top of everyone’s New Year’s Resolution list as numerous studies have proven the physical and emotional health benefit of getting 7 – 8 hours of sleep per night. This is according to Doctor Jacques Snyman, clinical advisor for Resolution Health Medical Scheme. “Various studies have proven the power of regular, sufficient and quality sleep with results showing a marked increase in memory, learning, creativity, productivity, emotional stability and physical health. In fact, the Ryerson University of Toronto found that curing insomnia in people with depression doubled their chance of a full recovery,” Snyman highlights. It can even help you to lose weight with a Brigham Young University study revealing that higher quality sleep of 8.5 hours a night is associated with a lower body fat percentage. An inadequate amount of sleep can also result in a number of negative implications
for one’s health, including obesity, hypertension, heart and blood vessel disease and diabetes, as well as possible harmful effects on mental health. Sleeping tips • Where possible, stick to a regular routine of going to bed and waking up at the same time • Incorporate a relaxing pre-sleep ritual into your daily routine. Examples include having a warm bath, reading a book or having a warm cup of herbal tea • Exercise daily • Avoid alcohol, cigarettes, coffee and heavy meals 2 – 3 hours before bedtime • Create a sleep inducing environment: dark, quiet and cool Getting sufficient sleep is one of the easiest ways to improve your lifestyle and basic health. Thankfully, it’s a rather enjoyable activity to add to your New Year’s Resolution list and not hard to incorporate into your everyday life.

Healthy lunchbox ideas for school or work Have a healthy approach for lunch in 2014. It is possible to pack your child a nutritious lunch box that will actually come home at the end of the day empty and eaten. The AWSUM Kombuis shares a few ideas. Homemade Granola Bars Preparation time: 2 hours
Frozen Fruit Cups Preparation time: 30 minutes
The Cafeteria Club Preparation time: 5 minutes
TIPS: • •

Ingredients:

• •
1/2 cup peanut butter or sunbutter 1/3 cup honey 1/4 cup coconut oil (or another oil of your choice) 1 cup oats 1 cup total of any combination of: sesame seeds, coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, dried fruit, mini chocolate chips
In a medium sized saucepan, melt together peanut butter, honey and coconut oil. Remove from heat and add one cup of oats. Choose your favorite combination of coconut flakes, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, dried fruit and mini chocolate chips, to equal a total of ONE CUP. (I just got out my one cup measuring cup and poured in the ingredients until the cup was full.) Pour in and stir well. Stir well, then spread mixture into a 8×8 or 9×4 pan. Chill for two hours, then cut into bars. Wrap in plastic wrap for a quick grab and go snack!

2 cans crushed pineapple, undrained 2 packages frozen sweetened sliced strawberries, thawed 1 can fruit cocktail, undrained 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed 3/4 cup thawed lemonade concentrate 6 medium firm bananas, cubed
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients. Pour into foil-lined muffin cups or individual plastic beverage glasses. Freeze until solid. When ready to serve, thaw for 30-45 minutes before serving. (10 servings.)
Wrap: oven roasted turkey breast, low sodium ham, 1 slice crumbled center cut bacon, 1 tablespoon guacamole on half a whole wheat wrap and tomato mozzarella skewer (cut one lower sodium part-skim mozzarella stick into fourths and skewer with cherry tomatoes alternately) + 8 vanilla wafers.
Save the cheese for the skewers, and opt for tasty guacamole instead of mayo for the wrap. Slice the wrap into medallions and skewer on toothpicks for less mess at lunchtime.

Think about what your child likes to eat at home and try to translate that into a lunch box option. Vegetables are often overlooked in the lunch box. Try cutting up some carrot sticks or putting in a handful of cherry tomatoes. While the humble apple is a great lunch box filler (sturdy and hard to squash), consider cutting softer fruit up and putting it into a smaller container for protection. Berries and kiwi fruit survive very well this way. Dairy can be hard to include, particularly in hot weather. If you can’t safely get a yoghurt into the lunch box, make sure you offer dairy when she comes home from school. Last night’s leftovers in a container with a small spoon can make a welcome change to the parade of endless sandwiches. Try putting together a small picnic in her lunch box - slices of tomato, ham, grated carrot, grated cheese and some bread and butter - so she can build her own sandwich. Stick to water in the drink bottle - most juices are full of sugar and make the drink-bottle smelly. They also don’t do a very good job of quenching thirst. Homemade pikelets are a great snack - easy to make ahead of time, they’re filling and don’t require any extra toppings.

Nuwe kragproppe veiliger vir kinders Gemengde gevoelens is die afgelopetyd ontlok, nadat Suid-Afrika `n nuwe,veiliger standard vir kragproppe (bekend as SANS 164-2) aanvaar het. Geen meerfrustrasies tydens oorse se reise as jy jou internasionale kragprop-aanpasser vergeet het nie. Alhoewel hulle noem dat dit nog `n paar jaar kan neem voordat ons elektrieseware met dié nuwe punte op die rake gaan kry, kan ons onsstelsel matig regmaak vir dié verandering. Suid-Afrika het vir lank ons eie drie-pen prop gebruik wat nêrens anders in die wêreld ook gebruik word nie. Ons land se unieke prop spruit uit die feit dat, as ‘n voormalige Britse kolonie , Suid-Afrika die Britse standaard van drie groot ronde penne so vroeg as die 1930’s aangeneem het. Toe die VN oorgeskakel het na plat penne in die 1970’s, moes Suid-Afrika gevolg het, maar het nie - hoofsaaklik as gevolg van kommersiële redes.
Suid-Afrika het geen ander keuse as om inderhaas hierdie stel standaarde te aanvaar nie, omdat verskeie vervaardigers nie bereid is om spesifieke weergawes vir die klein Suid-Afrikaanse mark te maak nie. Die voorgestelde nuwe SANS 164-2 prop sal drie vlakke van veiligheid hê en sal die veiligste kragpunt in die wêreld te wees, met slegs Switserland se prop-punte wat naby aan die vlak van veiligheid kom.

Dir Gr R klas Op die eerste dag in ons graad R-klas het al die nuwe klein Larries lekker saam gesels. Hulle het nou ook ’n musiekles gehad en Monkeynastics gedoen. Buitespel met al die maatjies is die toppunt van die dag, veral op ’n heerlike somersdag. Ruzeen, Anika en Xané teken en skryf lekker op die bord tydens buitespel. Dalk word een van hulle nog ’n opvoeder by Laer Meisieskool La Rochelle!
Thank you to all of our wonderful educators for helping our learners to achieve our motto “Educational Excellence”. Ons SPOG met ons Larries!!!!

Nuwe opvoeders: Op die foto is twee nuwe opvoeders by Laerskool WA Joubert. Links is Juf Lowina du Plessis (gr. 3) en regs is Juf Suné Furstenberg (gr. 1). Albei het verlede jaar hulle studies by CPUT voltooi en is aangestel agv die groei in die getalle in die Grondslagfase by die skool. Albei is baie veelsydig en gaan ook op buitemuurse gebied ‘n groot verskil maak. Ons verwelkom hulle graag in die WAJ-familie.
Nadia Burger: Dit is met spyt dat ons afskeid geneem het van juf Nadia Burger (Woelwaters). Sy het ‘n Departementele pos by ‘n ander skool aanvaar en moes reeds op 20 Januarie 2014 daar begin. Ons wil haar bedank vir die jaar wat sy betrokke was by ons skool en wens haar alle voorspoed toe.
WAJ se nuwe graad 1’s het sommer van die eerste dag af skouer aan die wiel gesit. Hier is die Gr. 1 A’s van Juf Suné Furstenberg en die Gr. 1 B’s van Juf Sandra Holloway besig om te wys dat Graad 1 reeds ‘n lekker plek is. Hulle het gou tuis gevoel en ken die skool baie goed, omdat die meeste van hulle ook hier in Gr R was. Ons wens hulle ‘n aangename jaar toe.

Gr. 7-Vasbyt kamp Laerskool Paarl Gimnasium het op 17 & 18 Januarie 2014 hulle jaarlikse Gimmie-Vasbyt met hul Gr. 7’s gehad. Dit is ‘n jare lange tradisie. Dit is ‘n geleentheid waar almal saam gees bou vir die jaar wat voorlê. Vanaf die skool het die seuns gestap deur die strate van die Paarl na die Arboretum van waar hul deur die Bergrivier vir omtrent 5km in die water gestap en soms geval het. By die Bergrivier-vakansieoord het hul oornag en die aand saam gebraai en onder die sterre geslaap. Saterdagoggend het hul om 7:00 begin stap en die roete verder gedoen na die taalmonument en Paarlberg. Van daar weer weer terug tot by die skool.
Gimnastiek Span na Serwië: Zandri van Zyl van Laerskool Gimnasium was een van 4 dogters in die ouderdomsgroep 2002 wat opgeneem is in die Suid-Afrikaanse span om deel te neem aan ‘n Internasionale kompetisie in Novi-Sad, Serwië in Desember 2013. Die kompetisie het die deelname van gimnaste uit 15 lande regoor Europa getrek.
Die dogters het op ‘n Patatskloof-plaas (Wellington) oornag. Hul moes self tente opslaan. Aktiwiteite soos vlotbou, beste kreet, mooiste swartsak rok-ontwerp, ‘n stappie in die berg, ens. was hul uitdagings. Dit was sowaar ‘n vasbyt gewees waar almal saam gestaan het en dit baie geniet het.
Koshuis: Huis Klein Drakenstein Ons kleingoed is terug op die plaas! Almal weer tuis en geniet hul gate uit! Klein en groot geniet mekaar van speel tot leer tot sotte tot seniors! Hier wag die kleintjies vir die grotes en geniet hoe die sotte van otjies tot narre verander.
