Idees vir ’n Warm Winterhart-projek
D
ie winter is hier! Die koue klop aan die venster, dit is tyd vir lekker pannekoek en sop, en die Kaapse reëns betrap ons gereeld sonder ’n sambreel. Maar … wat van hulle wat nie ’n sambreel het nie – ook nie ’n huis met vensters of ’n ietsie warm om te eet nie? Vir talle minderbevoorregtes hier in ons streek is die winter vreesaanjaend. Ons hart bloei wanneer ons ’n man, vrou of kind op straat sien wat in wind en weer staan en bedel. Die meeste van ons wil graag iets vir hulle doen … maar ons weet dat om geld te gee nié ’n goeie idee is nie. Hier is wel ’n klompie goeie idees; dit is prakties en dit kan maklik saam met jou gesin, jou vriende of jou klasmaats aangepak word. Só kan julle ’n verskil maak: MAAK MAGIES VOL! Maak blikkieskos bymekaar, en rys, bone, pap, langlewe-melk en ander nie-bederfbare produkte, en begin ’n kosbank. Daar is altyd gesinne wat daardie kos bitter nodig het, én organisasies wat na sulke gesinne probeer omsien. Julle kan hier ’n groot verskil maak – en só ander se magies so vol soos julle s’n kry!

ÓÚGOED IS WARMGOED Die koue en nat weer kry ons almal onder – maar het jy al daaraan gedink dat daar mense is wat in hierdie nat winter nie skoene het om aan te trek nie? Gaan kyk ’n bietjie in jou kas – en loer sommer in jou broer of suster of ma of pa s’n – en tel ’n bietjie
die pare skoene en tekkies wat nooit meer gebruik word nie. En die jeans wat nooit meer gedra word nie (omdat dit te styf sit!). En wat van die opgevoude kombers wat al twee jaar lank ongebruik daar lê? Dit is tyd dat daai goed ’n nuwe huis kry! En onthou sommer ook daardie serp wat nie meer cool is nie. Daar sál iemand wees wat dit sal LOVE! Onthou die Engelse spreekwoord: “One man’s junk is another man’s treasure!” MAAK KLEINGELD GROOT! Kies ’n organisasie wat jy wil ondersteun – en doen dit dan! Kyk, ’n mens het mos altyd ’n klomp kleingeld in jou beursie (dalk gooi julle dit in ’n bottel wat iewers in die huis staan). Moedig jou bure, ouers en die res van die familie aan om van daardie swáár sente – én die ewe swaar blink geld – ontslae te raak.
Stuur vir ons fo to’s van júlle Warm Winterha rtprojek!
Stel dan ’n doelwit: Hoeveel geld WIL jy insamel? En: Wanneer wil jy die projek voltooi? Vertel al wat leef en beef daarvan op Facebook en whatsapp. Kry nou sommer jou hele skool hierby betrokke. Gaan teken dan ’n prent of die skoolwapen met bordkryt op ’n parkeerterrein of sommer op die netbalbaan (hoe groter die prent, hoe meer plek vir die geld!). Op ’n spesifieke dag – of by ’n spesiale geleentheid wat jy met die onderwysers gereël het – bring almal dan hulle kleingeld en pak dit binne-in die getekende prent. Jy sal jou verstom oor hoe groot kleingeld word! Daar is ’n KLOMP maniere om in hierdie winter ’n verskil te maak. Hierbo is maar drie idees.

HANDY HINTS FOR YOUR HOME
These Handy Hints will remind you of the ways you can save around the home – some you may be able to do, and others you may not be able to do, but every single one of them can help you save money and energy. Even if you only choose one or two, it all adds up!
FRIDGE/FREEZER
• Check seals and doors. Doors need to close firmly. • Check the temperature. Fridges work best between 3° and 5°, freezers work best between -15° and -18°. • Room to breathe. Fridges and freezers run better with air circulating around them.
• Throw on a jersey so you can turn your heater down • Keep the curtains closed to keep the warmth in
HEATING
HOT WATER
• Check the temperature. Keep the room temperature between 18° and 21° in winter. • Seal those cracks and gaps with blockers like a door ‘snake’
• Shorten your shower to save water, money and energy! • Fix those dripping taps. They can waste up to 1 litre of water/hour • Hand wash single dishes instead of using the dishwasher • Try a front loader washing machine they use less water and up to 60% less energy
ELECTRIC PUMPS
• Use the right size, and don’t pay for wasted energy • Install a timer, and only use it in off peak times or when you need to • Use a pool cover, this can reduce the need for filtering.
and save a life!

Help jou ouer kinders só aanpas met ’n pienkvoet in die huis. Daar is min dinge wat ‘n huishouding ontwrig soos die geboorte van ‘n nuwe baba. Slaap, aandag en geduld is maar drie van die dingetjies wat by die venster uitgaan as baba eers by die huis is. 1. WEES GEDULDIG. Dit maak nie saak hoe hard jy probeer om jou kinders voor te berei op die koms van ‘n nuwe baba nie - wanneer boetie of sussie eers daar is, sál dit ’n skok vir hulle wees. Probeer om geduldig te wees as hulle nie dadelik opgewonde oor die nuweling is nie.
nie. Kinders moet weet dat hul gevoelens saak maak
2. EMPATIE Vra vir jou kinders of dit vir hulle moeilik is met die nuwe baba in die huis. Probeer saam planne maak, en dinge vir hulle lekker maak. Dit kan seker nie vir hulle lekker wees om in die middel van die nag saam met die kleinding wakker te word
4. MAAK SPESIALE “EK-EN-MAMMA-DATES” Al het jou kinders vriende wat hulle sosiaal besig hou, is dit belangrik dat jy ook individuele aandag aan hulle gee. Maak spesiale afsprake sodat nét julle iets lekkers doen - soos fliek!
3. WORD ’N SPAN Maak die kinders deel van die daaglikse baba-take. Bottels was, doeke skoonmaak en selfs om vir mamma tee te maak, sal hulle laat belangrik voel.
Pienk Bome vir Pauline
Wanneer kinders met oorgawe iets doen om ander se lewens ingrypend te verander lyk die lewe sommer net blinker. Pienk Bome vir Pauline, ‘n nie-winsgedrewe maatskappy wat daarop gemik is om lewenskwaliteit te bevorder tydens en ná kanker, het juis dit gesien tydens die 2013 projek. Kinders vanaf Tzaneen tot in die Kaap het harte aangeraak met inisiatiewe om by te dra tot kankergemeenskappe se lewenskwaliteit. Wat kan jy doen? Maak pienk strikkies om te verkoop, inkleurboeke vir kinders met kanker, ‘verkoop’ bome by jou skool en draai dit in pienk toe...daar is hope idees en elke rand bring verligting vir kankerpasiënte regoor SuidAfrika. Pienk Bome vir Pauline
nooi ALLE skole uit om regdeur 2014 projekte te loods. Kom ons kyk hoe groot impak kan ons maak!

Some Like It Hot Let’s Cook! Lamb, Brinjal and Butter Bean Curry SERVES 4 TO 6 The weather is really getting chilly and I can feel the cold seeping right down deep into my bones and my belly is talking to me, saying that it got a message form my body, saying it needs to be heated from within. I must say I tend to agree with this body, I think it is time to start pulling out all the heartwarming comfort food recipes.
CURRY 2 long, large, firm brinjals, cubed 3 Tbs vegetable oil 3 Tbs unsalted butter 3 large onions, thinly sliced 5 cm piece fresh ginger, grated 15 ml coriander seeds, toasted and ground 15 ml cumin seeds, toasted and ground 5 cardamom pods, toasted and ground 5 ml turmeric 10 ml chilli powder 1 fresh green chilli, slit 1.5 kg lean cubed lamb or lamb knuckle 2 large ripe tomatoes, chopped 10 cloves garlic, crushed salt, to taste about 1 ½ cups boiling water ¾ tsp ground cinnamon 2 cups cooked butter beans 10 curry leaves (optional) 3 Tbs chopped fresh coriander RAITA 2 cups thick Greek yogurt, 1 medium English cucumber, washed, 1 tsp roasted ground cumin, 1 Tbs chopped fresh mint 1 Tbs chopped fresh coriander, 2 tsp fresh lemon juice & salt to taste.
To make the curry, salt the Brinjal cubes and let them sweat for 20 minutes. Rinse under cold water and pat dry. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large frying pan and brown the brinjals lightly - don’t cook them completely. Set aside till needed. Heat the butter and one tablespoon of oil in a large saucepan, add the onions and let them cook gently till they reduce down to two-thirds of their original size. Add a few drops of water if need be to stop them from burning. Now stir in the ginger, ground coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric and chilli powder, and cook stirring for a few minutes to release the fragrance of the spices, adding a few spoonful’s of warm water at a time to stop them from burning. Stir in the fresh chilli and lamb, and cook with spices for 5 minutes. Don’t let it stick. Add the tomatoes and garlic, season with salt and cover with a lid, simmering for 20 minutes. Lift the lid and add the boiling water, just enough to cover the lamb, and stir in the cinnamon. Simmer till the lamb is tender; about 50 to 60 minutes.
While the curry is simmering away, make the Raita. Place the yogurt in a bowl. Peel half of the cucumber and chop very finely. Dice the other half (with the skin on) and stir all the cucumber into the yoghurt with the cumin, mint, coriander and lemon juice. Season with salt and add a little more cumin if you like. Set aside in the fridge until needed. Just before you are ready to serve, add the beans, brinjals and curry leaves to the lamb, and cook till warmed through. Stir in the fresh coriander and serve with roti. or steamed rice, and the cucumber and mint Raita. Tip: Cook the onions nice and slow till they cook right down. The sugars cook out of them this way, giving you an amazing curry. © Jenny Morris extracted from the Book Taste The World with Jenny Morris

SPICE up your life! Turmeric is a popular spice for cooking, but it has a long history of medicinal uses, too. Turmeric provides a wide variety of benefits, but there are six standouts. Antioxidant
The active ingredient in turmeric is curcumin, which is known as a powerful antioxidant. This means it targets dangerous free radicals in the body and reduces the damage they are able to cause DNA and cells.
Anti-Inflammatory
Curcumin also has anti-inflammatory qualities. This makes it effective for fighting heart disease, osteoarthritis pain, and other health problems related to inflammation Curcumin is believed to reduce certain enzymes in the body known to trigger inflammation.
Heart Health
Turmeric reduces the risk of blood clots and prevents the build up of plaque in the arteries, which helps in the battle against stroke and other clot-related problems. There are also studies showing turmeric is beneficial for reducing bad cholesterol and improving good cholesterol, both of which play a role in a person’s heart health.
Slows the Progression of Alzheimer’s
Researchers studying the effects of curcumin in relation to Alzheimer’s cite the health of those living in regions that consume turmeric in high quantities. People in India aged 70 and older have a much lower rate of Alzheimer’s disease than those in the same age group in the United States. Many believe this difference is due to the high intake of Indian curries, which are made with turmeric. Further research points to turmeric’s ability to remove amyloyd plaque buildup in the brain, which is believed to put people at risk for developing the Alzheimer’s.
Skin Health
Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory benefits can be beneficial when applied topically, too. It is considered an effective treatment for psoriasis and other skin disorders, and it is a natural antiseptic and can be used to treat burns and cuts.
Cancer Fighter
The jury is still out on just how effective turmeric is for fighting cancer. Some health experts point to its antiinflammatory benefits and draw conclusions based on the link between inflammation and the development of cancer. Free radicals and cell damage are believed to be linked to cancer, too, so if turmeric is able to work as an antioxidant it has a secondary anti-cancer effect.

Beaconhurst Primary JUNE 2014 7 Jersey Week
For the past month the learners at Beaconhurst School have very generously been donating jerseys and other warm items for the annual Jersey Week. The EarlyAct Club at Beaconhurst organised this. This year we collected a record number of jerseys and were able to fill up an entire
bakkie load of jerseys. The jerseys were then donated to the Rotary Club who distributed it to those who need it most. In the photo you can see some of the grade 7 boys who helped to load the bakkie with the jerseys. Well done to everyone who donated and collected the jerseys.
The Floating Ball Tower
Two of our grade 7 learners really showed off their creativity, by creating a tower that included a hairdryer, which blew air from the top of the tower. They then balanced two balls in this column of air and the balls moved up and down as the air blew. Here you can see Sandisiwe Langeni and Brandon De Klerk with their tower. Good job!
Squash Players
Two of our learners have made us extremely proud by being selected to represent Border Schools Squash at the respective U/11 – 13 IPT’s to be held from 28 June – 2 July 2014. Matthew Busse and C-Jay Jacks are two of the players from our squash team who will represent our school in the matches. Well done, boys.
