M

aar presies waar kry jy die tyd om die magies vol genoeg te kry – en dan so vroeg in die oggend? En dit is nie dat hulle juis opgewonde by die ontbyttafel staan en rondtrippel nie – inteendeel. Hóór dan net daar: “Ag, Maaaa! Ek ís nie honger nie!”

En dan is daar nog jou man …

Hy sê dat hy régtig nie voor tienuur kan eet nie. Hy sê jy moet beslis nie bodder met ontbyt vir hóm nie.

Hoekom ontbyt?

• Jou kind se lyfie werk net soos jou motor se enjin – as daar nie brandstof in is nie, is daar nie beweging nie. Maar as jy die regte tipe brandstof ingooi, sal die prestasie beter wees. Soos by die motor, só ook by die kinders.

• Ontbyt voorkom ook moeilikheid.

Kinders (en volwassenes) wat nie ontbyt eet nie, word sommer vroegoggend moeg – en kan boonop rusteloos of sommer kort van draad word. Nee, moenie dat jou mense ontbyt oorslaan nie.

• Daar is ook ’n langer termynvoordeel: Hoe vroeër jou kinders (en jou man, én jy) die dag se eerste ete nuttig, hoe vroeër word julle

metabolisme wakker. Eet dus maar jou vroegoggendse ontbyt, en die kanse dat jy vetsugtig gaan wees, word baie … uhm, skraler.

Brekfis vir breinkrag Dit is belangrik om seker te maak dat jou gesin die régte soort kos vir ontbyt inneem. Kies kossoorte wat ryk aan graan, vesel en proteïne is.

Vermy graanprodukte wat ’n hoë suikerinhoud het.

Die horlosie is teen my!

Ons weet dat álle mammas juis in die oggend Súperma(n) moet wees.

Veral in die winter, as dit vir almal (ook vir haar!) moeilik is om uit die bed te kom. Probeer gerus hierdie praktiese wenke om te sorg dat die ontbyt ingaan voordat jou gesin soggens by die huis uitgaan.

• Sorg dat daar altyd gesonde ontbytopsies in jou spens is.

• Dek die ontbyttafel die vorige aand.

• Maak reeds die vorige aand ’n groot bak vrugteslaai, sodat jy teen ontbyt-tyd net kan opskep.

• Probeer om jou gesin (net) 15 minute vroeër as gewoonlik wakker te kry.

• Laat die kinders jou help om die ontbyt voor te berei.

• Énigiets kan vroegoggend gebeur (soos jy maar al te goed weet!) – sorg dus vir stap-en-hap moontlikhede: vars vrugte, klein bakkies jogurt, neute, gekookte eiers.

Jou gesin se geluk en gesondheid is tog vir jou ’n prioriteit, Mamma.

Sorg dan dat ’n gesonde en gereelde ontbyt ook op daardie prioriteitslysie verskyn. Bon appétit!

Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body.

http://kidshealth.org

~ Joseph Addison ~

Kids are more successful in school when parents take an active interest in their homework — it shows kids that what they do is important.

IMAGE: WWW.LEAPOFWNY.ORG

There is no greater or more accurate indicator of a child’s academic progress than that of his or her reading skills.

Children who choose to pick up a book for pleasure are more likely to succeed in life, research shows.

Reading for pleasure therefore reveals a predisposition not just to literature, but also to lifelong learning which is essential for furthering one’s career.

But getting them to do so isn’t easy! So, how do I help my child become a reader? * Set time aside for reading every day. * Join the library. Membership is free! * When you go shopping, visit a bookshop and browse with your child. * Subscribe to a weekly / monthly magazine for your child. * Joke books are popular with even reluctant readers. * Focus on your child’s particular interest. Boys tend to enjoy non-fiction: books on sport, nature, amazing facts, etc. * Connect family experiences and current events to reading. If going on holiday, read up on the places you will be visiting. * Set a time aside for family games that require reading. Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc * Read out interesting or funny bits from what you are reading yourself. * Encourage your child to share with the

family what they are reading. * Bribery and bargaining have their place if you are at your wit’s end! If your cricket playing son reads a chapter a day for a month, you’ll buy him the cricket bat he so badly wants! * It is always possible that a child who is vehemently opposed to reading has either a reading difficulty or poor eyesight. Both need to be addressed as soon as possible. * Read to your child. It is fun, it is simple, it is cheap – it is also the most effective advertisement for the pleasures of reading.

Top 10 homework tips Of course, helping with homework shouldn’t mean spending hours hunched over a desk. Parents can be supportive by demonstrating study and organization skills, explaining a tricky problem, or just encouraging kids to take a break. And who knows? Parents might even learn a thing or two!

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO GUIDE THE WAY: 1. Know the teachers — and what they’re looking for. Attend school events, such as parent-teacher conferences, to meet your child’s teachers. Ask about their homework policies and how you should be involved.

2. Set up a homework-friendly area. Make sure kids have a well-lit place to complete homework. Keep supplies — paper, pencils, glue, scissors — within reach.

3. Schedule a regular study time. Some kids work best in the afternoon, following a snack and play period; others may prefer to wait until after dinner.

4. Help them make a plan. On heavy homework nights or when there’s an especially big assignment to tackle, encourage your child to break up the work into manageable chunks. Create a work schedule for the night if necessary — and take time for a 15-minute break every hour, if possible.

5. Keep distractions to a minimum. This means no TV, loud music, or phone calls.

6. Make sure kids do their own work.

They won’t learn if they don’t think for themselves and make their own mistakes.

Parents can make suggestions and help with directions. But it’s a kid’s job to do the learning.

7. Be a motivator and monitor. Ask about assignments, quizzes, and tests.

Give encouragement, check completed

homework, and make yourself available for questions and concerns.

8. Set a good example. Do your kids ever see you diligently balancing your budget or reading a book? Kids are more likely to follow their parents’ examples than their advice.

9. Praise their work and efforts. Post an aced test or art project on the refrigerator.

Mention academic achievements to relatives.

10. If there are continuing problems with homework, get help. Talk about it with your child’s teacher. Some kids have trouble seeing the board and may need glasses; others might need an evaluation for a learning problem or attention disorder.

Finding Inspiration...

By Surina Loedolff.

I page through books, pictures, photos, any material that will act as inspiration for the new Art curriculum. My mind swamped with ideas, questions, reasoning...some more structured, thinking of incorporating art theory in the process of pure expression and free flow, others a whirlwind of colour and ideas waiting to be put on paper.

In my search for inspiration I notice my modest, softly-spoken 4 year old entering my art room, making her way to the drawer with the big sheets of paper. With a shy smile her eyes ask if she can have one. She climbs on the table to reach a packet of oil pastels, carefully selecting the pinks, oranges and a purple. I notice her movement, her concentration and determination. She makes herself at home by the big drawing table and looses herself in a moment of expression. As I carefully observe, I see my gentle little girl brim with joy, making sense of her world, finding her voice, and share some beauty within. Halfway through I hear her surprise “Oops! I did not know purple and orange will make brown...oh, but that’s okay.

I will just make the wings a little brighter”. With amazement I experience the value of the moment:

She is learning to use what she has to reform, redesign, recreate. She sees a problem as an opportunity and finds the solution. She takes a long hard look at the paper in front of her, puts down the oil pastel and asks if she might use some liquid water colours for the background as she wants her picture to “flow”. I smile, knowing she found a way to express what she could not find words for, to share what she feels. She shared something of herself. Knowing her sweet soft nature I can see, right in front of me, Henri Matisse had it right, “Creativity takes Courage”. What a great display of courage I just witnessed.

Excitedly I embarked again on my journey to fill the art curriculum for this term with fun filled projects that will encourage the young students to express themselves with courage, boldness and joy, seeing opportunities and finding solutions.

How I love art, how I love being an art teacher!

Ja, die kwartaal het maar nou eers begin.

Maar selfs die super-ma’s is nou reeds gedaan! Hierdie borrelbad-bomme sal sommer een-twee-drie weer die woema in jou wiele sit. Buitendien: Dit gee jou ’n lekker verskoning om ’n bietjie langer in die bad te lê …

Wat moet jy hê?

• 240 ml koeksoda • 120 ml sitroensuur • 120 ml mielieblom (Maizena) • 120 ml Engelse sout • 1t water • 2 t aromatiese olie • 2½ t amandel-olie • ’n paar druppels voedselkleursel • ’n Klein plastiek bakkie/houertjie wat jy as gietvorm kan gebruik Hoe moet jy maak?

• Voeg al die droë bestanddele in ’n groot mengbak bymekaar en meng dit goed deur.

• Voeg al die nat bestanddele in ‘n apparte houer bymekaar en meng dit ook goed.

• Giet nou die nat beslag by die droë bestanddele en roer dit met ’n lepel deur. Op ’n stadium moet alles so goed vermeng wees dat dit lekker klewerig begin word.

Amper soos as jy sandkastele bou.

• Vul nou die klein plastiek bakkie/houertjie met die mengsel, tot bo. Voeg dan nóg ’n bietjie by – en druk dit alles stýf vas. (As dit vir jou lyk of die mengsel nog nie klewerig genoeg is nie, gooi bietjies-bietjies water daarby, totdat dit reg is.)

• As jy tevrede is met die verkleefdheid, kan jy dit versigtig uit haal.

• Plaas dit op ’n handdoek met waspapier daarop, sodat dit kan droog word. Dié proses sal ongeveer 48 uur duur.

Straws and wrinkles, bet you didn’t think you would ever hear those two words in one sentence. Did you know that just by putting your lips around a straw, you can kick start the anti-ageing process?

Here are more daily habits that can affect your skin....

PUT DOWN THE STRAW AND PICK UP THE GLASS What was once a myth, has been proved true, ‘wrinkles are caused by any excessive muscle movement,’ says dermatologist Dr Debra Jaliman. She believes the best time to combat these signs is when you’re younger, and advises using a bit of retinol around the forehead and mouth at night to solve this problem. We like retinol-rich Yves Rocher Wrinkles & Firmness Force Day Cream.

BREAK THAT BAD HABIT, YES YOU KNOW THE ONE Whether you’re a 20-a-dayer or a sneaky social puffer, smoking restricts blood flow and is another major cause of ageing, particular around your mouth.

It’s a bad habit that you need to break, unless you’re happy with a dull, wrinkled complexion.

Ok, we know it’s not something that can happen overnight so look at applying a brightening moisturiser daily. We love Pond’s Gold Radiance Youthful Glow Day Cream SPF15.

STOP DISMISSING ACNE AS A HORMONAL BREAKOUT Too often we hear this, and there is much faster and more effective way to handle acne than by trying every spot-busting product line other there. Book an appointment with a dermatologist. Professional advice can mean less long term effects on your skin, like scarring and we believe firmly believe prevention is better than cure.

To find a reputable dermatologist

Present this voucher and we will give you 15% discount on ANY hairdo!

in your area go to: http://www. derma.co.za/C_FindaDerm.aspx TURN DOWN THE HEAT Turning the hot tap on full blast can actually dry out your skin and hair, rather go for a moderate temperature to keep moisture locked in. Then, while you’re still damp apply a rich moisturiser like Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Body Gloss which contains cocoa butter and vitamin E, plus it gives skin a gorgeous glow. Plus, as you age, your hair also becomes more brittle and less resilient so try and avoid washing your hair daily to help preserve the flow of natural oils from your scalp to your locks.

STAY ACTIVE This helps in many ways.

Exercise helps to increase your blood supply which means healthier looking skin and more days of looking fabulous!

Slow down ageing with antioxidants Having a nutritious and healthy diet is the key! Makeup is amazing for a lot of things but can only cover imperfections on the surface; these are where antioxidants come in. Great skin comes from within. Some examples of foods you could try while you’re young, munching on some berries and dark chocolate to keep your body healthy from within and glowing

on the outside.

EMBRACE YOUR INNER SCIENTIST Having a set skincare routine can result in healthier, more glowing skin – something we all want. So depending on your skin concern, make sure the right ingredients are listed on the back of your products. This also means that they need to be listed early on, as the further down the list they are, the smaller the amount.

If dark spots are a problem, look for vitamin C, soy and arbutin.

Fine lines a concern? Look for hyaluronic acid, vitamin A and retinol. Want to combat shine?

Look for charcoal, kaolin and silicone.

And no matter what your skin type or complexion, always apply sunscreen too!

PAN-FRIED FISH WITH FRESH LEMON

This simple recipe relies on butterand a good non-stick frying pan.

Get a non-stick frying pan very hot, then slide in the butter and oil, as well as a few sage leaves, stalks removed.

Season the fish with fine salt on both sides and dredge in the

flour, patting it lightly to remove the excess. Place in the hot pan (don’t do more than three fillets at a time) and leave on that side for about 2 minutes, then turn and fry the other side. The butter should be burnt by this time, but never fear. Burnt butter is delicious. Squeeze a lemon quarter over each fillet and serve immediately If your fish fillet is thicker than about 1.5 cm, it may be hard to cook it through without burning it.

Solve this by either putting the lid on and lowering the temperature, or by finishing it off in a hot oven for about 3 minutes until cooked through. Don’t be scared

Omega-3 in fish: How eating fish helps your heart

to pierce the fish with a knife to check if it’s cooked (it will be white and flaky). It’s the only way you’ll get a feel for it.

Serving size depends on number of fillets – limit it to 2–3, otherwise you won’t be able to fit them all in your pan, and hence some people will eat fish that’s either cold, or dry.

Two lucky readers could win a cafféluxe machine and capsule combo set to the value of R1650.00 each!

The omega-3 fatty acids in fish are good for your heart. Eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack.

Doctors have long believed that the unsaturated fats in fish, called omega-3 fatty acids, are the nutrients that reduce the risk of dying of heart disease. However, more recent research suggests that other nutrients in fish or a combination of omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in fish may actually be responsible for the health benefits from fish.

What are omega-3 fatty acids, and why are they good for your heart?

Fish contain unsaturated fatty acids, which, when substituted for saturated fatty acids

such as those in meat, may lower your cholesterol. But the main beneficial nutrient appears to be omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that may reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability.

Eating at least one to two servings a week of fish, particularly fish that’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, appears to reduce the

You need: ● dollop of butter ● 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil ● few sage leaves (optional) ● 1 firm white fish fillet per person, preferably not too thick, skin and bones removed (I like using fresh sole fillets) ● salt ● 1 tablespoon (15 ml) flour ● 1/4 lemon per fillet (or you could use lime halves if you can get them)

risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death.

Eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients appears to provide more heart-healthy benefits than does using supplements. Other nonfish food options that do contain some omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil. However, similar to supplements, the evidence of heart-healthy benefits from eating these foods isn’t as strong as it is from eating fish.

Your family JULY 2014 7

Al druk die ekonomie van alle kante, is dit nie nodig dat jy en jou gesin in sak en as gaan sit nie. Met ’n tikkie verbeelding, ’n bietjie toneelspel, ’n paar kamoefleerkunsies, hope logika en ’n gesonde humorsin, kan jy die rande rek, die begroting laat klop én gehalte gesinstyd beleef.

Uithalermaaltye teen sakpaspryse vir jou gesin en gaste, vrolike gesinsvakansies teen ’n appel en ’n ei, vindingryke maniere waarop jou kind sakgeld kan verdien én laer munisipale rekenings is binne jou bereik.

Ja, al wurg dit op ekonomiese gebied en al voel jy nog nie die beloofde opswaai in die ekonomie aan jou sak nie en al moet jy elke sent tien keer omdraai, kan jy steeds die lewe geniet.

Maak net ’n kopskuif na ’n minder materialistiese lewensuitkyk en beoefen daagliks die spreekwoord: “’n Boer maak ’n plan.”

Die tyd vir omgekeerde statussimbole en vernuwende kreatiwiteit het aangebreek.

Minder is (deesdae, beslis) meer. Hier volg ’n hand vol wenke.

KINDERS EN SAKGELD Oorweeg ’n wegbreekjaar oorsee vir jou kind as die geld vir studies skraps is, sodat hy euro’s of dollars kan verdien. Baie oorsese werksgeleenthede, onder meer dié van au pair, sluit gratis verblyf en maaltye in.

Daar is dosyne maniere waarop jou kind sakgeld kan verdien – huise oppas, troeteldiere versorg ... of deur as ’n ekstra in sepies op te tree.

Kreatiewe, arm studente het al namens hulle mede-studente notas geneem en in rye gaan staan om boeke of gesogte sportkaartjies te koop – teen vergoeding natuurlik.

FIKSHEID EN GESONDHEID Doen navraag by jou gimnasium aangaande spesiale tariewe vir gesinne.

As jy ’n swembad het, belê in ’n pool noodle en swemplankies vir oefeninge.

Gaan stap op ’n mooi en veilige plek saam met die hele gesin en verlustig julle in die natuurskoon.

PLATSAK-VAKANSIES Wees Trots Suid-Afrikaans en hou vakansie in ons eie land. Dit is baie goedkoper as ’n buitelandse reis.

Danksy die mededingende laekoste­ lugrederye is dit soms ook goedkoper om te vlieg as om te ry. Bly op hoogte van die spesiale aanbiedinge.

Oorweeg dit om ’n vakansiehuis of -woonstel saam met vriende met wie jy goed oor die weg kom, te huur.

Dit is nie nodig om langafstandreise te onderneem om vakansie te gaan hou nie.

Kies sommer ’n mooi plek naby die huis en bespaar só reiskoste en brandstof.

As jy nie vakansiebehuising mét ’n kombuis kan huur nie, maak seker dat die plek minstens oor ’n yskas beskik.

Om vir ’n vakansie tuis te bly, is allesbehalwe ’n ramp. Jy kan allerhande opwindende plekke in jou omgewing ontdek waarvoor jy nooit gedurende ’n gewone werkweek tyd kry nie.

Sluit by die plaaslike biblioteek aan en lees daardie boeke wat jy al lankal op jou leeslysie het.

Huur DVD’s vir jou tieners. Dit is goedkoper as om te gaan fliek of uiteet.

Kleuters kan verbasend lig op die sak wees. Tyd en aandag kos niks. Bak en brou saam met hulle, vind uit of die plaaslike biblioteek ’n vakansieprogram aanbied, versier koekies met allerlei lekkertjies en slaan ’n tent in jou tuin op waar hulle kan “kampeer”. Of hou ’n skattejag in die tuin.

Jou gesin kan natuurwonders gratis of teen billike tariewe besoek.

Enkele voorbeelde is die Tuinroete,

die Vanderkloofdam en Orania se kampeerterrein.

ETES EN ONTHAAL Moet nooit op oorskietkos neersien nie.

Kamoefleer gister se koningsmaal en gebruik dit in bredies en pasteie. Selfs skille hoef nie weggegooi te word nie.

Ontdek die veelsydigheid van skille en blare. Voeg fyngekapte wortelblare by sop of ander geregte. Kook beetblare soos spinasie, gebruik raapblare in bredies en kerf pampoenskille soos groenbone en kook dit saam met aartappels en maak fyn.

Koop kos waarvan die hele gesin hou, want dan is jy seker dat die kos nie in die asblik gaan beland nie.

Moenie toelaat dat jou gesin rasend honger word nie. Hulle sal minder eet ... as hulle meer dikwels die regte kosse eet.

Leer jou gesin om slaai te eet. Dit is voedsaam en bespaar elektrisiteit.

Begin die maaltyd met ’n goedkoop en

IN EN OM DIE HUIS Moenie onnodige ritte onderneem nie. Doen jou inkopies op pad huis toe van die werk af, of op pad huis toe nadat jy jou kinders by die skool afgelaai het.

Water is kosbaar. Plaas ’n emmer in die stort om oortollige water op te vang en gebruik dit om plante mee nat te gooi.

Plaas dromme onder geute om reënwater vir die tuin op te vang.

Moedig waterbewustheid by jou kinders aan en vermy speelgoed wat ’n konstante stroom water benodig.

Leer jou gesin om nie koffiemoer, teeblare en teesakkies weg te gooi nie. Varings en potplante floreer hierop.

Verminder die toilet se spoelvolume. Dit kan daartoe lei dat tot 20 persent van die waterverbruik verminder word sonder dat jy gerief inboet.

Stort eerder as om te bad.

Gebruik ’n stort met ’n lae stortkop.

As jy sukkel om jou huiswerker se salaris te betaal, laat haar eerder minder dae werk, maar moet haar nie sommer laat gaan nie, anders is daar nóg ’n mens sonder inkomste.

DStv is ’n luukse. Daar bestaan die opsie om die maandelikse premie te halveer, hoewel jy dan slegs beperkte toegang tot die beskikbare kanale het.

Benut natuurlike lig in jou huis en gebruik ’n waaier om lastige insekte te verwyder.

Wees Trots Suid-Afrikaans en hou vakansie in ons eie land. Dit is baie goedkoper as ’n buitelandse reis. vullende gereg soos sop en bespaar dan op die duurder hoofgereg.

Maak die porsies kleiner. Jy sal jou gesin ’n guns bewys, want Suid-Afrikaners eet in elk geval hopeloos te veel. Waak teen goedkoop vleis­snitte met baie bene daarin; dit kan uiteindelik duurder uitwerk. Maklik die helfte van beesvleissnitte soos platrib en beesstert kan uit been bestaan. Skaapvleis en pluimvee bevat ook ’n groot persentasie been.

Hoe taaier die snit, hoe goedkoper, maar hoe geuriger is die vleis. Met die regte gaarmaakmetode kan ’n stuk taai vleis heerlik sag voorberei word. Jy kan vleis eers self ryp maak deur dit ’n paar dae in die yskas te hou voor dit gebruik of bevries word.

Die gesin se troeteldiere sal ou hoenderbene geniet. Moenie hoenderbene weggooi nadat dit skoongeëet is nie.

Kook dit sowat twee uur lank tot sag in ’n stoompot, laat afkoel en druk die bene heeltemal fyn.

Email - awsum@tiemedia.co.za or phone - 021 872 3880 Somerset College collaborates with Imibala gallery Every Friday afternoon there is a hub of activity in the Donna Downie Art Centre at the Imibala Gallery in Somerset West. A small group of mainly Grade 12 and some Grade 11 Visual Arts students from Somerset College share their artistic expertise with Grade 9 to 12 students from local communities who do not have the privilege of receiving classes in visual arts at their respective schools. Although skills development is at the core of this endeavour, the wonderful spin-off of the collaboration has been the social interaction, and bonds that have developed as a result of this.

The Grade 9 students from Somerset College did beautiful portraits of our late President Mandela, as part of his birthday celebrations.

Ms Carina Vosloo, the art teacher from Somerset College who oversees this project with Gianna Milani from Imibala, commented that “We decided it would be a meaningful exercise for the students to paint Madiba’s eye - both in terms of content and as an outcome for their painting skills”. The project has worked extremely well and during the school holidays the student’s works were exhibited at the Imibala Gallery.

Somerset College students excel in maths olympiads This year, Somerset College entered students from Grade 8 to 12 into three different Maths Olympiads: • The UCT Maths Competition which consists of three rounds. Anyone can enter the first round, while only the top achievers in each category (junior and senior) are invited to the second and third rounds. Seventy five students from Somerset College (the top five Maths students per grade and five pairs per grade) wrote the first round at UCT earlier this year. Joshua Putterill (Grade 9), Adam Henman (Grade 12), Robert Harris (Grade 10), Benedikt Blomendahl (Grade 9), Elizabeth Espach (Grade 12) and Sean Richardson (Grade 11) were invited to write the second round (UCT Invitational Challenge) as a result of their excellent performance in round one. Adam Henman was invited to write the UCT Maths Olympiad, based on his excellent performance in round two (he came sixth out of all the Grade 12s that entered). As a Gold Award Winner,

Adam was invited to the UCT Awards Evening in May, where he received his award, finishing 14th overall. We are incredibly proud of his achievement!

Thirty seven students from Somerset College received Merit Awards at this event.

• Somerset College entered 167 students into the first round of the South African Maths Olympiad (SAMO), also known as the Harmony Gold Maths Olympiad.

One hundred and twenty three students achieved above 50%, thus gaining entry to round two. The results of this round have not yet been announced, but the College is proud of the high percentage of students that went through to the second round.

• For the first time this year, Somerset College entered junior students into the International Maths Olympiad that was held at Elkanah House. Joshua Putterill did exceptionally well and has been invited to be part of the South African team to go to the International Maths Olympiad in Korea in July.

Top German student heading to Germany Jozef Hands, a Grade 11 student from Somerset College, is heading to Germany, a trip to reward his efforts in the National German Olympiad, which he undertook at the end of last year. Jozef was placed fourth nationally. This excellent result qualified him for the trip to Germany, where he will be a guest of the PAD (Pedagogic Exchange Service). He will travel with a group of scholars from countries such as Brazil, India, Armenia, Latvia. Jozef will be staying with a family in Andernach for two weeks, where he will attend the local school and be exposed to teaching in German.

The group of students will be do some sightseeing in cities such as Bonn, Berlin and Munich and will also be going to the Zugspitze, Germany’s highest mountain.

Albei van hulle het reeds vanjaar Paul Roos aangevoer, aangesien Edrich vir Michael as kaptein moes instaan nadat laasgenoemde in ’n voorseisoenwedstryd beseer is. Albei hierdie manne se spel dien as inspirasie vir hulle spanmaats, iets wat die span se vertonings merkbaar lig. Hulle beskik

oor die vermoë om die span tydens moeilike tye te motiveer, maar hulle ook kalm en gefokus te hou wanneer dit voorspoedig gaan. Die aantal naelbyten wegholoorwinnings van vanjaar se aanskoulike eerste span spreek boekdele van dié twe se leierskap – en die feit dat hulle ’n fantastiese span het, het hulle taak sekerlik vergemaklik. Dit is die eerste keer ooit dat die kapteins van die beide O/18 WP-spanne van Paul Roos Gimnasium afkomstig is – sonder twyfel ’n uitsonderlike prestasie vir hulle én vir Paul Roos-rugby.

Squash

Dié drie Paul Roosers het onlangs die Boland se O/14-muurbalspan gehaal. Hulle is Ruben Viljoen (nr.1), Wium Pienaar (nr. 2) en Jacques Pansegrouw (nr. 5). Hulle vertrek 28 Junie tot 2 Julie na Johannesburg om teen al die ander provinsies kragte te meet.

Powerlifting Alexander Braxton (Grade 10) and Paul Beresford (Grade 12) recently took part in the RAW World Powerlifting Championships in Potchefstroom.

31 countries were represented at the championships.

Alexander ended second overaal in 105kg sub-junior category and won gold in squat, silver in bench-press en silver in deadlift. He is now proudly in possession of SA (Protea) colours.

He is only 15 and competes in the U/19 age group! Paul came fourth in the 83 kg sub-junior category. This is the second time that he has represented South Africa, having competed in the Common Wealth Games last year, wher he took GOUD in all three categories (deadlift, bench, squad). He asl came first overall (goue medalje) in the category subjunior under 74kg. In March this year he competed in the SA RAW Powerlifting championships in the sub-junior U/83kg category and won gold in all three categories.

Nóg ’n eerste vir PRG Al ooit gehoor van ’n skool met ’n groot skaakbord vir alle leerders om te gebruik? Wel, so ’n skool is Paul Roos, natuurlik! Tydens die Maart/April-vakansie is daar ’n groot skaakbord in die LPR-vierkant gebou.

Nou bestaan daar die twyfelagtige moontlikheid dat ’n skaakwedstryd (met reuse plastiekskaakstukke) ook fisies kan raak ... Leerders kan hul pouses en vrye tyd konstruktief gebruik deur skaak te speel. Dit is gedoen met die hoop om skaak, wat ’n groeiende sport is (ja – dis ’n sport: breinkrag word getoets), na ’n volgende vlak te neem en om belangstelling daarin te kweek. Daar is tans selfs sprake van ’n interhuisskaakkompetisie!

Die skaakbord is ingewy met ’n wedstryd tussen Caleb Samuel (Graaf 10) en Old Boy Henry Steel, wat SA se nommer 1-skaakspeler is.

Caleb is gekies om tydens Junie-vakansie aan die SA Skoleskaak-olimpiade in Bloemfontein deel te neem.

Garrick die gholfspeler staan die BBC te woord!

Garrick Higgo van Paul Roos Gimnasium (Graad 9) het onlangs in die ouderdomsgroup 15-18 jaar deelgeneem aan die Europese Wêreldgholfkampioenskap om die Van Hornbeker. Sy posisie in die internasionale span was tweede, wat beteken het dat hy saam met ’n Australiër uiteindelik teen twee Britte in die Van Hornbekerkampioenskap gekompeteer het.

Garrick het met ’n 6 onder baansyfer beter as almal gespeel, wat verseker het dat hy en die Aussie gewen het. ’n Mens sou dink die vreeslike koue reën en wind in Skotland sou hom klarrgemaak het, maar hy oefen nog elke dag vandat hy terug is in die reënweer hier! Die BBC-radio en ’n koerant het by die openingseremonie ’n onderhoud met Garrick gevoer – hy was Suid-Afrika se spankaptein. Daar is ook hierdie maand ’n artikel oor hom in die CompleatGolfer.

Hulle tree gereeld op tydens skoolfunksies en neem ook jaarliks deel aan die Kore-afdelings van die Stellenbosch Kunswedstryd en die Helderberg Eisteddfod, waar hulle

Talle pryse is reeds oor die jare aan hulle toegeken, onder andere medaljes vir die beste Hoërskoolkoor tydens die Helderberg Eisteddfod, asook die afgelope drie jaar die trofeë vir die Beste Serenadegroep van die Stellenbosch Kunswedstryd.

An Eco-wise garden and even wiser film makers.

There is not much money to be found in developing ‘behind-the-scenes’ talent in schools for the film industry. Which is why, when the Interchange Foundation approached Parel Vallei High School in 2013 with funds to provide secondary level learners with professional skills development, we jumped at the chance to continue our partnership with Macassar High School.

At the beginning of 2013, PV and Maccasar were united in another film workshop which was so successful, we were all (learners and teachers alike) devastated when the project came to

It is with certainty that Parel Vallei learners look forward to the next film making opportunity.
