Many of us have been celebrating Oktoberfest for as long as we can remember. Have you ever wondered where the tradition started? Here’s a list of fun facts to help you become an Oktoberfest aficionado. 1. Did you know that the first Oktoberfest was held in 1810 to celebrate Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig’s marriage on the 12th of October? The citizens of Munich were invited to join in the festivities, which were held over five days on the fields in front of the city gates. 40 000 people were in attendance. 2. In the beginning, beer was not available at Oktoberfest. Alcohol could only be purchased and enjoyed outside the venue. 3. Oktoberfest has been cancelled 24 times because of disease and war. In 1854 and 1873, cholera epidemics forced the fest’s postponement. It was also cancelled during the Franco-Prussian War, WWI and WWII.

4. Did you know that Albert Einstein worked at the festival? He was employed as a trainee in his uncle’s electrical company, and the then-owners of the Schottenhamel tent decided that they wanted to be the first to take advantage of electric lighting, which is why Einstein was employed to screw in light bulbs. 5. Despite its name, Oktoberfest actually starts in the third week of September and lasts until the first Sunday in October. #Septemberfest 6. Only six breweries that brew within the Munich city limits are allowed to participate in Oktoberfest:
Hofbräuhaus München, Spaten-Franziskaner-Bräu, Paulaner Bräu, Löwenbräu, Hacker-Pschorr-Bräu and Augustiner Bräu. 7. The mugs themselves are hot items at Oktoberfest. Security guards annually recover approximately 150 000 from would-be souvenir hunters. Many are not recovered: The Hofbräu tent alone averages 35 000 missing each year. The fine for stealing a souvenir mug is R600. 8. Glass steins were late to the party: It wasn’t until 1892 that beer was served in glass mugs. Traditional beer steins were made of stone and later metal, and while some of those are still used, they are far outnumbered by their modern glass cousins. 9. You can’t start drinking until the mayor says so. Since 1950, the festivities only begin when, at noon, twelve guns sound a salute and the mayor cracks open the first beer barrel, yelling “O’ zapft is!” (“It’s tapped!” in the Bavarian dialect). The mayor then hands the first beer to the Minister-President of the State of Bavaria. 10. In November of 2008, Bavarian waitress Anita Schwartz broke the record for most beer steins carried at once. Schwartz balanced 19 full beer steins—5 in each hand, and 9 positioned on top of these—and walked 40 meters without spilling.

Laerskool Aristea OCTOBER 2014 3
Tienerzone besoek Aristea Daar was groot opgewondenheid in ons skool toe die program, Tienerzone, ons skool kom besoek het. Hierdie program word op Kyknet musiek en Kruiskyk TV uitgesaai en spog met ‘n kykertal van 700 000 mense. Die dag het afgeskop met ‘n filmsessie in ons saal waar die hele skool twee liedere saamgesing het. Anthonie Bougas, die aanbieder van die program, het ook die leerders vermaak deur sy wonderlike sangtalent. Gedurende die dag is van die klasse afgeneem en daar is kort onderhoude met ons leerders gevoer. Ons skoolhoof, Mnr. P.T. Boshoff, het sy tydtjie agter die
kameras terdeë geniet. Die aand het ons beste kultuuraktiwiteite die kans gehad om op te tree voor die kameras. Die drama-groep, kore en individuele musiekitems het goeie vermaak verskaf. Sewe leerders het ook deelgeneem aan die Solis vir Christus sangkompetisie. Almal het pragtig gesing, maar net twee leerders kon deurgaan na die volgende rondte. Tao Willemse en Keeshah Sims het tot die finale rondte deurgedring. Baie geluk! Ons is trots op julle! Ons skool se episode word iewers in Oktober uitgesaai, so hou ons Aristea se facebook dop en asook julle kassies.

Unified Rainbow Brackies The children of Brackenfell Primary, are privileged to be in a school where children come from different cultures, religions and backrounds. We can truly say that the Brackies are unified in their diversity and we are proudly South African. With heritage day around the corner, we decided to create an event where the children could have the opportunity to come to school in their traditional clothing and thus, share stories and teach one another about their different cultures. A ceremony was organized where one of our pupils, Sune Louw, did a presentation on the meaning
of heritage day, what it entails and what it means for us as a nation. We had pupils who read some poems about our heritage and interviewed others who wore traditional clothing. Our girls’ choir sang two songs and we ended off by singing the national anthem. We all had the chills as the assembly of 800 children sang the anthem with pride. May you all have a blessed heritage day. In the words of Madiba: “When you speak to a person in a language he understands, you speak to his head. But when you speak to a person in his own language, you speak to his heart.”

Laerskool Bellville Noord 4 OCTOBER 2014 Landsdieners kamp rondom Grabouw Die naweek van 5-7 September was weer ‘n besige naweek vir van BN se Landsdienslede. Drie gr. 6-seuns het ‘n avontuurkamp meegemaak saam met die Angra Avontuur-klub te Applecreek, terwyl drie gr. 3-dogters weer gekamp het saam met ander grondslagfase Landsdiensmaats van ‘n hele paar skole by die Kogelberg-jeugterrein. Die seuns se kamp het o.a. kanoroei, vlotbou, ziplyn-ry, hindernisbane en ‘n nagtelike
rit in appelwaens agter ‘n trekker ingesluit en daar was ook baie lekker geëet. Die dogters het handwerkvaardigheid gedoen, speletjies gespeel, ‘n konsert gehou, baie lekker gesing, gaan stap in die wingerde en erosieslote help opvul, teiken geskiet met kruisboë, paddavissies gevang (én teruggesit in die stroompies) en òòk natuurlik baie lekker geëet. By albei kampe is sommer lekker nuwe maats gemaak.
Braaidag
Op 25 September, het die Graad 5’s van Ls Bellville-Noord Nasionale Erfenisdag (wat ook bekendstaaan as Braaidag) gevier deur ‘n worsie op die kole gaar te maak.

91.6% SPARTANS SUCCESS RATE The Hattie U14 A and B rugby squads, also known as the Spartans, have experienced an exceptional season. The A squad achieved a 91.6% success rate during the 2014 league season, losing only one league match. In conjunction with the B squad, who has also only lost a single match, the Spartans have an 86.6% success rate! The A squad scored 52 tries this season, giving away only 9 tries in 12 matches. Five times their opponents had to walk away from the field without scoring
a single point. The B squad won all their 2014 friendly matches, scoring five times as many tries as their rivals. At least 36 opponent scrums and 38 lineouts were taken as well by the Spartans. Taking league and friendly matches into consideration, the Spartans scored a total of 70 tries this season! This average of 3.5 tries per match proves that running rugby is alive and well is SA school rugby. Coaches J. Nel and C. Stander would like to thank the parents for all their support throughout the season! It is truly appreciated!

Die Hoërskool Bellville het `n opvoering van Shakespeare se gewilde komedie “Much ado about Nothing” voorberei vir die fees, en op 2 Septemeber opgevoer in die Somerset Playhouse in Somerset Wes.

Hoërskool Tygerberg
Seweman-Rugbytoernooi Die Tiere het die pas afgelope Wingfield-Motors en Boeke 24/7 se sewemanrugbytoernooi heeltemal oordonder toe hulle die toernooi gewen het. Boonop het die A- en B-spanne teen mekaar in die finaal te staan gekom.

Van die Hoof
Ons vyfde suksesvolle interskole teen Hoërskool Brackenfell is verby. Na afloop van die interskole week, is ek opnuut gevul met ‘n innerlike trots wat my weer eens laat besef hoe bevoorreg ek is om die hoof van Hoërskool Tygerberg te wees. Ek ervaar ‘n vriendskap tussen ons twee skole en wil die interskole koester sodat ons nog vir baie jare die gesonde wedywering kan beleef. Baie dankie Brakkies vir die voorreg om hierdie week met julle te kon deel. Wikus Herselman
