K arlien van Jaarsveld Dubbel SAMA-wenner, televisiester en aktrise Karlien van Jaarsveld het met meteoriese spoed opgang gemaak in die Afrikaanse vermaaklikheidswêreld. AWSUM News het ‘n bietjie met haar gesels oor haar loopbaan, haar kinders, en haar toekomsdrome.

V Jy het vroeër vanjaar die album ‘Sing vir Liefde’ uitgereik en ‘n nuwe inrigting ingeslaan met hierdie album. Wat is anders aan jou musiek op die album?

A Op dié album het ek die meerderheid van my liedjies self geskryf. Ek kon skryf wat op my hart was. Elke album gaan oor jou lewe en op watse plek jy in jou lewe is op daardie tydstip.

V Jy is die suster van die ewe bekende en gewilde Bobby van Jaarsveld en het vroeër saam met hom opgetree as kitaarspeler en sangeres, asook ‘n duet saam met hom gedoen op sy eerste album. Wat het jou laat besluit om solo te gaan? Tree julle nog deesdae saam op?

A Dis ‘n pad wat God gekies het en nie ek self nie. Ons tree nie baie saam op nie, maar wanneer ons dit doen, geniet ons dit wel.

V Vertel ons van jou kinderdae en waar jy grootgeword en skoolgegaan het.

A Ek onthou as kind het ek en my boetie altyd die familie gemaak sit en kyk hoe ons konserte opvoer. Dit is seker maar waar die gogga vir musiek gebyt het. Ons het baie rondgetrek en ek was in ‘n hele paar skole gewees. Ek was vir die meerderheid van my grootwordjare in Brits en Witbank.

V Jou opgang in die musiekwêreld was vinnig en suksesvol.

In 2011 is jy aangewys as Beste Nuweling in die Tempo Toekennings. Jy verwerf twee SAMAs vir Best Pop Album (Afrikaans) in 2014 (Uitklophou) en 2016 (My Hartjie). Vertel ons bietjie meer oor hierdie twee albums en hulle suksesverhale.

A In my wildste drome sou ek nooit gedink het hierdie sou gebeur nie. Ek het nog elke jaar ‘n goeie span agter my gehad.

Wat ook baie gehelp het, was dat mense wat na aan my was in my geglo het.

V Jou belangstellings en talente is baie en wyd verspreid. Jy het reeds in films opgetree, verhooghoofrolle vertrolk, en boonop ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ Seisoen 8 gewen. Watter van hierdie nie-musiekdinge geniet jy die meeste?

A Ek hou daarvan om in films te wees. Jy kan soms ‘n karakter speel wat heeltemal die teenoorgestelde is van wie jy is. Ek hou van ‘n uitdaging. Maar een van die rolle wat ek die meeste geniet om deesdae te speel, is vrou vir my man en ma vir my kinders.

V Jy is die ma van woelwater-tweelingseuntjies, Daniël en Eliah, met nog ‘n pienkvoet wat op pad is. Hoe het moederskap jou lewe verander? Wat is die beste ding van ma-wees? Hoe balanseer jy jou loopbaan, huwelik en ma-wees?

A Dit is een van die mooiste geskenke wat die Here vir ons kan gee as mens. Om net saam met hulle te wees elke dag en te sien hoe hulle grootword, is wonderlik (maar dit gebeur te vinnig). Ek is in die week by die huis en kan tyd met hulle spandeer na skool en in die aande. Hulle toer gereeld saam.

Soms voel dit ek leer meer by hulle as wat hulle by my leer.

V Wat is jou advies vir ‘n eerste romantiese afspraak? Tel eerste indrukke?

A Wees net jouself.

V Watter advies het jy vir ons hoërskoolleerders oor die liefde en die lewe?

A Onthou om jouself te wees – dit kan partykeer ‘awkward’ voel om jouself te wees en soms vat dit jare voor jy gaan besef net om jouself te wees sou nog altyd die beste ding gewees het.

V Gunstelingtydverdryf (wanneer jy tyd kry)?

A Om saam met my kinders en my man tyd deur te bring.

V Wat was die hoogtepunt van jou musiekloopbaan tot dusver?

Hoekom?

A Om ‘In jou skoene’ te kon doen, want dit het gegaan oor goed wat regtig saak maak in die lewe.

V Wat is jou grootste droom op die oomblik? Wat sal jy graag nog professioneel wil bereik?

A Ek wil graag my eie klerereeks begin.

V Watter rol speel sosiale media in jou lewe? Wat is die waarde daarvan vir jou?

A Ek is nie gaande oor sosiale media nie. Ek dink sosiale media het al meer skade berokken as goedgedoen. As ek nie my loopbaan moes bemark nie, sou ek nie op sosiale media gewees het nie.

V Wat is jou lewensfilosofie?

A If you worry you die, if you don’t worry you still die ... so why worry?

Neutrogena Correct & Perfect Complexion Scrub, R98.95 is a daily creamy scrub to keep skin clear and prevent breakouts; Garnier Skin Active Intensive 3 in 1 Charcoal Anti-Blackhead, R116.95 is a daily anti-bacterial wash and scrub plus a weekly mask and is perfect for oily spot-prone skin; Johnson & Johnson Clean & Clear Advantage Clear & Soothe Daily Scrub, R49.95, is tough on spots but gentle on sensitive skin and helps to unclog problem pores.

Don’t panic….

When you’ve scrubbed up nicely, and then to spite you, up pops a zit bang in the middle of your chin, blinking like a laser beam just reach for your African Extracts Rooibos Spot Treatment, R59.99. It’s loaded with soothing plant extracts and antiseptic Tea Tree Oil to help clean out pores and reduce redness. It’s small enough to stash in your purse for on-the-go fixes during exam stress acne flare-ups.

Rita Ora wears her funky floral onesie out and about dressing it up with chic sunnies and trendy sneakers.

Who else but Miley Cyrus does it all in one go, getting off a flight in her chill-out onesie and fuzzy unicorn slippers?

Your teens are a turning point in your life, full of promise, fun and future plans but it’s also a rough time for your skin as it can be prone to oiliness and acne due to hormonal changes, school stress and all the rest that comes with being a teenager.

Proper cleansing is top of the list as it removes dirt, oil and dulling dead cells that plug up your pores but take care not to over-wash or use harsh soaps as it will increase the breakouts and stimulate greasiness. A gentle but hard-working wash/scrub is what you need to help keep your skin fresh and clear and those pesky pimples under control.

Look for products that contain salicylic acid, healing herbs and charcoal to mop up all that excess oil and unclog blocked pores which lead to these blockbuster blackheads. Keep it simple--- use a scrub or wash daily, in the morning and before bed and a clearing mask once a week. No hard rubbing on your skin --- always treat it with care as it’s the only one you’ve got and it has to last a lifetime. Try these problem-skin goodies:

WHAT A HOTTIE!

From sofa to sidewalk --- Ed Westwick from the Gossip Girl series takes his daily walk around the block in a fleecy onesie teamed with flip-flops.

B SCRU UP

The ultimate way to keep your tootsies toasty is with a hottie --- either a bag or slippers that warm up in a microwave or a good old-fashioned hot water bottle. Here are three of the cutest you won’t be able to resist.

@ PEPE SAYS

The onesie is like a big Babygro — it’s a baggy romper suit that was originally designed as a thermal sleepsuit but has morphed into something so cosy, comfy and cute, it goes way beyond bed time. ……. giant foot-warmers for lolling in front of the TV or X Box. It’s a huge single slipper you put both feet in to keep them cosy while you concentrate on the screen. Totes awesome like this funky monkey face slipper, R149.99, Checkers Hyper.

ONE ON ONE

Onesies are everywhere, worn by guys as well as girls --- the ultimate zip-up playsuit that works for everyone. They’re even creeping into daywear with celebs wearing them for air travel, chilling out and to go shopping. I’m talking about the likes of big names like Brad Pitt and lady Ga Ga no less! Check out British boy band JLS here, who went on tour in their onesies.

This all-in-one fashion phenomenon has the world in its grip and it’s not letting go any time soon. So you might as well slip into your snuggly–wuggly onesie and enjoy it.

Ditching maths myths: The path to mastery starts in early childhood Maths is one of the subjects that South Africans regularly perform dismally in, but is there a way to get children excited about maths from a young age, so that they banish negative attitudes towards the subject from the start?

Yes, says an education expert – and it’s vital for parents to take an active part in helping their children achieve later maths mastery through play-based activities in the early years. This article provides essential advice for parents and caregivers hoping to lay the early foundation that will help maths become child’s play later in life.

The best start parents can give children to ensure they master maths throughout their school careers, is to ensure they banish negative attitudes towards the subject right from the start.

Parents and caregivers must ensure they don’t pass on their own negative feelings about maths, or any other subject, because they themselves struggled in the past. Children should be allowed to embark on their maths learning in the secure understanding that they are competent and capable, without any kind of pre-emptive fear for the subject.

South Africans regularly hear about our country’s dismal performance in international maths and science benchmarking tests.

People who work at the pre-primary level are well aware that the results of the children at prep and college levels will not improve if the focus is not on the correct teaching of maths concepts within the three-to-six-year age group.

However, early learning should be age-appropriate and concentrate on ‘hands-on, brains-on’ activities. Early mathematical experiences have to be presented in kinaesthetic and concrete ways, leading to semi-abstract activities in Grade 0. Worksheets are not favoured for children at this young age.

While many young children enter pre-primary school with knowledge of counting, numbers and shapes, it is also important to expose them to more challenging content. Young children are ready to learn more advanced concepts as long as they are presented in an engaging and developmentally appropriate manner. This does not equate with ‘pushing down’ the curriculum content to younger and younger children, as that could have the opposite of the intended effect.

Parents should take a keen and active part in getting their children excited about maths. The foundations of later maths mastery can be achieved through play-based activities in the early years.

Activities that promote the acquisition of maths concepts include: • Singing number songs and rhymes.

• Counting out everyday items such as plates and cutlery for supper, potatoes for cooking, biscuits for tea.

• Matching how many times you clap with items such as bottle tops.

• Baking, which involves counting and measuring of ingredients.

• Drawing attention to numerals on gates, cars, buses – anywhere in the immediate environment.

• Sharing out sweets amongst the family or the teddies at the play tea party, which teaches division.

• Dividing fruit, veg and cakes into pieces and talk about halves and quarters, which teaches the concept of fractions.

• Working out how many sweets we need if everyone is to get two, which teaches multiplication.

• Matching, identifying and counting coins, and giving coins to spend on small items in the shop.

• Comparing the sizes of clothes and shoes that the family members wear and arranging them in ascending and descending order.

Research tracking American, British and Canadian children found that children who entered pre-school with a strong grasp of numeracy, counting, relative magnitudes and ordinality achieved better maths scores in later years, and that these skills were more predictive of general scholastic achievement than were language, attention or social skills.

But parents should not, in an attempt to ensure their child’s future maths mastery, try to get them to learn something now, with difficulty, which they will manage more easily later. Helping your child at this stage does not entail the teaching of isolated maths skills through memorisation, rote or the reliance on worksheets.

Parents and guardians who want to make a substantial contribution to their children’s performance later in life can ensure they lay a solid and positive foundation in the early years, simply by making maths meaningful and relevant to everyday situations. Quite simply, maths should become child’s play.

Health & Wellbeing Keep your kids active (and healthy) this winter The days are short and cold – winter is fully upon us. While it might be tempting to snuggle up on the couch with your little ones, cup of hot chocolate and rusks on hand, it’s important to factor in some active time.

Exercise helps kids feel less stressed, have higher self-esteem, focus at school, sleep better and maintain a healthy weight. You’ve probably noticed too that parenting children who get enough exercise is easier than parenting those who don’t – incentive enough?

But when it’s cold and dark outside, how do you get your kids to exercise? It’s simple – make exercise fun. If your kids see you making an effort, they’re likely to buy into the idea too. Physical activity should be seen as an essential part of your child’s daily routines.

Fun, exercise, winter – in the same sentence?

Walk the dog, take breaks every hour and do jumping jacks. If you have a set of stairs, see who can walk upstairs backwards the fastest. Park in the furthest parking lot at the mall, so that you have to walk the distance to the entrance.

Find a way to incorporate exercise into your normal daily activity, make it become a part of your routine. Moderate activity increases brain activity and generates endorphins to help your kids stay motivated and positive at school.

Research supports these sentiments. Get up, get moving, get active – remember, habits that are adopted during your childhood and teenage years are likely to roll over into adulthood. Everyone wins.

Aiden says: “I learnt things I never knew before. One of the strokes I dislike the most – backstroke – I learnt that is actually not on you back but on your sides rotating from one side to another. There were swimmers

from all over the world – even from Russia, China and American. I was the only South African.

POTCHEFSTROOM HIGH SCHOOL FOR BOYS (t) 018 294 5330 (e) pbhs@iafrica.com A visit from the All Blacks On 21 July, the Tauhara College arrived from New Zealand to stay at Potchefstroom High School for Boys for their rugby tour in South Africa. The team manager, Malcolm MacDonald, is an Old Boy and his father, Duncan MacDonald, used to teach Geography at the school many moons ago.

Four years ago he brought a touring team to Potchefstroom from New Zealand in which his first son played. Now, four years later, they came again with his youngest

son to play our first team on 24 July when school opened. They played three matches on tour: on the 22nd they played against Vaal Driehoek and on the 25th they played against Gimmnasium in Vanderbiljpark.

It was an amazing first day back at school. The spirit on the field was awesome.

Malcolm MacDonald got the chance to do the war cry with the boys and also be part of the school. Thank you to him and his team for the visit and great sportsmanship.
