Settling into another exciting year

The year is now thoroughly under way and even though the heat is still with us, schools have already had amazing sports events, as witnessed by the school news streaming in from all over the country. We wish everyone well with upcoming events and hope many records get slain during the athletics season. This edition of AWSUM News brings you an exclusive centrespread Super Rugby feature, which you can keep for the duration of the Super Rugby tournament. Use it to find and keep track of all fixtures and make sure you never miss a a game! (For the other sports enthusiasts, you will find the latest rankings for different schools sports on the back page.) We also look at healthy eating from a few different angles, including healthy lunchbox suggestions by food and nutrition gurus Patrick Holford, Jamie Oliver and Kath Megaw. You can look forward to regular food features and features on foodie trends and personalities, starting with a look at the so-called Mediterranean diet in this edition. From next month,

FOOD & HOME

The Mediterranean lifestyle and its benefits

When you hear the word “Mediterranean,” what do you think of? Perhaps you envision crusty loaves of bread, tender olives, and fresh herbs. Or maybe you imagine a glass of red wine shared with friends. Better yet, you might picture yourself watching the sunset over a lush vineyard from the open deck of a grand Tuscan villa. All these things are characteristically Mediterranean, but they do not define the Mediterranean lifestyle. In the same way, there is no single Mediterranean diet, because the word Mediterranean is used to describe a group of more than 15 countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. You may be wondering what then constitutes the Mediterranean diet trend that has recently become popular. Rather than prescribing a strict set of rules for foods to eat and foods to avoid, the Mediterranean diet offers guidelines for a healthfy way of life. The Mediterranean diet is about more than just food, however – it is about living life to its fullest and being healthy as you do. The Mediterranean diet is about eating wholesome foods such as fresh fruit and vegetables, wholesome grains, beans, nuts, and seeds. And who could forget olive oil, fresh fish, and good wine? Though the Mediterranean diet is high in dietary fat, more than half of the fat calories consumed in the Mediterranean diet come from monounsaturated fat. Monounsaturated fat comes from sources like olive oil and avocados. In 2009, a study was published in the Journal of Nutrition regarding the effect of the Mediterranean diet on the risk for chronic disease. The results of this study suggest that an eating pattern high in plant foods and unsaturated fats, like the Mediterranean diet, can reduce the risk for lower abdominal obesity and coronary heart disease (Romaguera et al., 2009).

The Mediterranean diet is all about healthy eating habits and enjoying the food you eat.

(Article by Kath Megaw, co-author of Feeding Sense (Metz Press, 2012. Kath holds four medical qualifications including a paediatric dietetic qualification from Johns Hopkins. She frequently speaks to groups of both professionals and parents on infant and childhood nutrition, and appears on television and radio shows. Kath has been in private practice for the past 15 years and is the founder of Nutripaeds, a paediatric dietetic practice.)

Following a Mediterranean diet is just as easy when it comes to packing healthy lunches and lunchboxes. You can use wholesome, natural fish products, including herring, calamari, and herbed and peppered mackerel, which is a real hit when added to veggies or a fresh salad. For lunchboxes, yummy humus dips, pates and unprocessed cheeses add some protein to the mix. Throw in some veggie crudités and a delicious fresh fruit and you will be set up for the day. Cheeses like modified cheese and Edam cheese are gentle in flavour and loved by most children. For those who have dairy allergies, add some drained chickpeas and beans for extra protein instead. Olives, which are high in unsaturated fats, will keep you fuller for longer and add those booster carries for fussy eaters. Don't forget the treats! Halva is a delicous Mediterranean delicacy. Packed with protein and calories, a small piece goes a long way to quietening that sweet tooth. Try out different flavours, such as vanilla or chocolate. (See page 9 for more lunchbox ideas.)

Decorate with pallets & glass jars Pallets are one of the biggest trends in upcycling materials for décor purposes. The creative possibilities of creating beautiful pieces with pallets are almost endless, not to mention budget friendly. Get into the habit of looking at pallets and other materials with new eyes. When one goes on a site like Pinterest, one often wonders ‘why didn’t I think of that?’. Very simple ideas are very effective, as can be seen in these few samples of using pallets and things from nature, like wild flowers and sea sand. These things cost nothing and add a rustic, down-to-earth feeling to any home.

Wall vases Create individual wall vases with old, weathered pallets, mason jars and clamps. Thess wall décor ideas are perfect examples of how to use ordinary stuff in very creative and beautiful ways.

Goue medalje-wenners

Leierskamp 2016 Op die oggend van 23 Januarie 2016 het 32 opgewonde leiers van die Curro Raad 2016 by De Oude hout “lodge” bymekaar gekom. ‘n Vinnige ysbreker by name “vroteier” het almal finaal wakker gemaak! Met ons hoede, kampstoele en water stap ons toe bos toe. Daar aangekom het ons onderhoofseun Mark, se pa, pastoor Adrian Quilivan ons toegespreek. Hy het ons meer geleer oor ons identiteit en dat ons identiteit in God moet wees. Hy het ons ook vertel hoe ware leiers optree. Ons het ook ‘n praktiese deel gedoen waar die ander leiers slegs goeie eienskappe van die persoon op ‘n karton op mens se rug moes neerskryf. Dit was interessant en lekker om te sien hoe ander ‘n mens sien. Terug by die kamp is ons in drie spanne verdeel. Elke span het blikkies kos sonder etikette, ‘n swart pot en ‘n paar tange en spane gekry. Mnr Thys het ons geskok deur vir elke span ‘n dooie hoender, met kop, pote en vere en al te gee! Ons moes dan die hoender self slag en in ‘n hoenderpot in ”tower”! Sommige van die meisies ( en seuns) was erg verbaas! Dit was eintlik vet pret en ons moes regtig koppe bymekaar sit en as ‘n span werk om dit te bereik! Dit was baie moeilik om die vere uit te pluk en ons moes die hoender se organe ook uithaal om hom skoon en eetbaar te maak. Sommige van die seuns het hul hoenders soos ‘n bok afgeslag, dit was baie snaaks! Net soos in “survivor” moes ons hout gaan soek om die vuur te maak. Daar was darem vuurhoutjies … Mnr. Viljoen, ons onderhoof, was die uitverkorene om die potjies te proe en te beoordeel. Wonder bo wonder het hy nie siek geword nie, phew! Al drie die spanne se potjies het was heerlik , maar span twee sin het die prys gewen vir beste smaak! Na die kosmaakpret het ons almal in die modderdam gaan swem. Nie lank daarna nie het die swem in ‘n moddergeveg ontaard. Almal was so vuil soos varkies! Die ouers het intussen gearriveer en almal het heerlik saam gebraai en gekuier. Dit was ‘n baie suksesvolle, onvergeetlike dag.

Ironman After 20 weeks of intense training, one of our teachers Mrs Melissa Pretorius, participated in the East London Ironman 70.3. The event was held on the 24 January, where she had to swim 1.9km, followed by 90km on the bike and had to finish it off with a 21.1km run. Ten spyte van ‘n gebreekte ketting na 9km op die fiets en ‘n lang gewag vir die bystandvoertuig om haar te kom help, kon sy steeds die wedloop voltooi in ‘n tyd van 6:59. Dit was weer eens ‘n baie belonende ervaring vir haar. Glo nie dit was die laaste een nie.

HEALTH

7 compelling reasons why children should exercise

You exercise regularly because you want to enjoy the benefits of exercise. Exercise offers the same benefits to your your children. Here are seven of the most important benefits.

4 to 8 March 2016

National School Health Week Use these tips to help your kids keep healthy at school.

1. Exercise helps children maintain a healthy weight Childhood obesity is becoming one of the biggest health issues facing our generation. And since obesity is a direct trigger for chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension, it’s crucial for children to maintain a healthy weight.

Exercise builds strong muscles and bones The human body builds its bones during childhood (before the teen years). That means childhood is the optimal time to build bone density through exercise (especially body weight exercise). And strong muscles aren’t just something adults should have! Kids benefit from having strong muscles too – they’re less likely to suffer injuries while they conquer the playground.

Exercise boosts mood and improves concentration Kids need to be able to concentrate to learn. And they learn better and learn more when they’re happy. Exercise causes the body to release endorphins – natural happy hormones and tranquilisers. Not only do these leave kids feeling happier, it also settles their energy levels, making it easier for them to concentrate. If your kid can concentrate well, he’s more likely to perform better at school.

Exercise boosts self-image and self-esteem When you engage in exercise, you feel stronger, faster, fitter and leaner. This makes you feel more selfconfident. Kids also feel that way after exercise.

Exercise in the form of team sports will improve social skills Team sports teach kids how to socialise and communicate. These improve interpersonal skills, which a kid will need – and rely on – for life!

Exercise helps kids sleep better (and sleep longer) Children need sleep – their brains are developing fast. But there’s e that this development only happens when kids sleep. So sleep deprivation is, quite literally, bad for a kid’s brain. Exercise provides the ideal release for kid energy, allowing the child to sleep well thereafter.

Exercise improves motor coordination and skills Through exercise, children refine and improve their motor skills and their coordination. This makes them better able to perform all sorts of tasks throughout life. So sign your kid up for a team sport and make sure you make time to play with your kids (skip, hop, jump and race!). The benefits are powerful and long-lasting. Source: http://www.trifocusfitnessacademy.co.za/article_detail

A healthy lunchbox

Growing youngsters need a healthy snack for the busy days they face at school. Remember that a balanced lunchbox will not only provide children with the energy they need, but it will also keep them healthy and happy.

Active kids

Children need to move to develop well. Most children love to move naturally, but encourage your child to move for fun. It will boost their brains and also help them to sleep better to revive their energies.

Non-toxic stationery

When purchasing stationery like crayons, pens and glue, make sure that the products are non-toxic. This will prevent any harm to your children, always buy safety scissors that may prevent injury to your child and their friends.

Emergency numbers

Make sure your kids have access to and know how to use emergency numbers. When there’s an injury at school, they know who to phone to help them.

9 Lunchbox ideas from food & health celebrities HEALTH

Patrick Holford’s lunchboxes

Jamie Oliver’s lunchboxes

A well-planned lunchbox will energise your child, both physically and mentally. Carbohydrate-containing foods with a lower glycemic index (GI) are the foods that supply a steady source of energy. Adding lean protein (the size of the palm) and a little fat (such as cottage cheese) helps to prolong steady energy release. Adding veggies and/or fruit contributes to the vitamin content. Round off the lunchbox with a tub of plain live yoghurt and a bottle of water. For snack time, pack some dried fruit, seeds and nuts and pack all the foods in individual containers with an ice brick. Children love the surprise of opening little containers and if you add a bit of interest, the lunchbox will come back empty.

Making your child’s lunchboxes is the only way you can be sure you know what’s going into them. You can tailor the lunchboxes to suit your children’s tastes and choose good-quality ingredients to make the food even more nutritious. Shopbought sandwiches and snacks are often packed with additives and can also be loaded with mayonnaise, sauces or dressings that are high in fat and salt. If your child always takes a packed lunch to school, try to mix things up a bit so they aren’t eating the same old thing every day. Keep the ingredients fresh, the flavours exciting, and make different options throughout the week to keep things interesting. You can even use up the leftovers from your evening meals in your lunches, which will save you time and money. If you’re stuck for new ideas, use the list below for some inspiration. For a well-balanced meal that will keep you going all day, aim for a good mix of protein and carbohydrates with plenty of fruit and vegetables.

Sandwich ideas • Purée vegetables such as leftover roasted vegetables to use as a sandwich spread. Add a little mayonnaise and some leftover meat and put on a low GI roll or use as a sandwich with rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread. • Biltong and cottage cheese on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread. • Mashed hard-boiled egg with homemade sandwich spread on rye or wholewheat/low GI bread. • Nut butter and honey (raw) on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread. • Tuna and mayo with lettuce and tomato on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread. • Toasted cheese and egg on rye or whole-wheat/low GI bread. Patrick Holford is a pioneer in new approaches to health and nutrition. He is widely regarded as Britain’s best-selling author and leading spokesman on nutrition and mental health issues. Patrick is also popular on radio shows and international television as a presenter, interviewer and guest. Source: http://www.holforddirect.co.za/2015/03/06/school-health-week-lunchbox-ideas/

Savoury A flask of home-made soup with a hunk of nice bread and a small wedge of tasty cheese, slices of home-made pizza, quiche or frittata, or pittas stuffed with mini home-made kebabs. Salads with a great dressing can also make brilliant lunches. You can use everything from seasonal vegetables and salad leaves to pasta, couscous, lentils or potatoes mixed with different cheeses or meats. By adding toasted nuts, seeds or dried fruit, you can get a really exciting contrast of textures and flavours. It’s a good idea to take the dressing in a separate container so you can toss it through the salad right before eating. That way everything will be crunchy and lovely rather than soggy.

Sweet A fresh fruit salad, a tablespoon of dried fruit, stewed fruit and natural yoghurt, a slice of fruit bread, fresh fruit skewers, oaty biscuits, home-made flapjacks, or granola bars packed with lots of nuts and seeds.

Drinks Home-made fruit smoothies, water with a wedge of fresh lemon or lime, milk, or freshly squeezed fruit juice mixed with sparkling water. Pop a carton of 100% unsweetened fruit juice in the freezer overnight. Pack it in your child’s lunchbox first thing and by lunchtime they will have a lovely slushy cold drink. Jamie Oliver is an English celebrity chef, restaurateur and media personality known for his food-focused television shows and cookbooks, and more recently his global campaign for better food education, especially in schools and school cafeterias and tuck shops.

Help support children with cancer through CHOC-olate Did you know that every three minutes, somewhere in the world a family hears the devastating news that their child has been diagnosed with cancer? According to the American Childhood Cancer Organisation, globally more than 250 000 children are diagnosed with cancer each year. Fortunately, through the advances made in treatment, childhood cancer is largely curable.

Monday, 15 February is International Childhood Cancer Day. To help play your part in supporting children with cancer and their families, the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation, which provides nationwide physical and psychosocial support to children with cancer, is making it that much easier with its CHOC-olate loyalty programme. Not only can people help raise funds for the organisation, but be rewarded for it. For a minimum monthly contribution, members gain access to an array of 2-for-the-price-of-1 benefits including 2-for-1 movie tickets nationwide, 2-for-1 dining at over 750 restaurants across the country, 2-for-1 beauty treatments at over 750 service providers, and 2-for-1 tickets from Computicket outlets, up to the value of R150 each. Benefits can

also be redeemed on holiday or travel, with venues spread throughout the country. Fully utilised benefits would be to the value of more than R3 000 a month. Of the minimum contribution, over 50% goes to CHOC and the remainder goes towards the benefit costs. If a member opts to increase the donation portion, then the addition goes entirely to CHOC. CHOC-olate will help ensure that CHOC expands services in line with the organisation’s growing number of beneficiaries. Without their holistic support, many children – particularly those from low-income households living far from treatment centres – would not be able to access or adhere to treatment, which can last up to three years.

HOËRSKOOL WATERKLOOF (t) 012 347 0277/8 (e) admin@klofies.co.za

Klofie-hokkiedirekteur ook bobaas afrigter

Hoërskool Waterkloof Dansakademie tops

Mnr. Gregg Hesom, hokkiedirekteur van Hoërskool Waterkloof, is aangestel as die hulpafrigter vir die onder 21-nasionale dameshokkiespan. Dit is die tweede keer dat hy hierdie prestasie behaal. In 2009 het hy die span ook na die Junior Wêreldbeker in Boston, VSA, vergesel. Ten einde vir die Junior Wêreldbeker, wat hierdie jaar in Santiago, Chile, gehou gaan word, te kwalifiseer, moet die span die Junior Wêreldbeker Afrika kwalifiserende toernooi wat later dié jaar gehou word, wen. Hierdie kampioenskap vind vanaf 18 tot 28 Maart in Windhoek, Namibië, plaas. Suid-Afrika, Ghana, Kenia, Nigerië, Zimbabwe, Botswana en Tanzanië is van die spanne wat aan dié kampioenskap deelneem. Mnr. Hesom is tans die hokkiedirekteur en afrigter van beide die eerste seuns- en dogterspan by Hoërskool Waterkloof.

Hoërskool Waterkloof het in 2015 elf matriekleerders gehad wat dansstudies as vak geneem het. Nege van dié leerders het onderskeidings in die matriekeksamen behaal. Dit is ‘n uitmuntende prestasie as in ag geneem word dat daar slegs negentien onderskeidings in Gauteng was. Hierdie statistiek het die onafhanklike skole ingesluit.

VOOR: Clarissa Labuschagne, Meghan Moore, Cara Britz, Lumé Venter, Nadine Dempers. AGTER: Jeanine Venter, Chrystal Degenaar, Zuné du Preez, Demi Weyks, Lerinne de Waal, Danielle Coetzee.

Klofies maak internasionaal naam

Nie minder nie as drie leerders van Hoërskool Waterkloof is genooi om Suid-Afrika by internasionale Expo’s te gaan verteenwoordig. Marnus Slabbert, ‘n leerder in Graad 11, is uitgenooi na die Taiwan Internasionale Wetenskap Expo. Sy taak handel oor die verskil in frekwensie van verskillende kleure lig in vergelyking met die frekwensie van verskillende kleurpigmente. Hy het ‘n praktiese toepassing vir sy resultate nagevors deur die optimum groei van plante onder verskillende kleure skadunet te toets. JJ Kriel gaan by die ISWEEEP-kompetisie in Houston, Texas, die geleentheid kry om sy taak oor die invloed van motorbote op die groei van plante in ‘n dam te bespreek. Bernard Smit was reeds in Januarie in Marseille, Frankryk, waar sy navorsing oor die opwekking van elektrisiteit deur die gebruik van gemagnetiseerde bakterieë verder getoets word. Hierdie toetse word in samewerking met dr. Elritha van Zyl van UP, prof. Johan Joubert van UP en prof. Christopher Lefecre van die Universiteit van Marseille, gedoen. Positiewe resultate bevestig Bernard se werk. Hy gaan as eerste outeur optree in die publikasie van die artikel.

Die FUNTRASHTIX-robotikaspan van Hoërskool Waterkloof is die wenners van die Nasionale FIRST LEGO Leaguekompetisie in Suid-Afrika. Met dié prestasie is die span genooi om aan die Internasionale First LEGO League-toernooi in St. Louis in Missouri, VSA, in April 2016 deel te neem. Hulle sal saam met 108 spanne van regoor die wêreld kompeteer in die First LEGO League Trash Trekuitdaging. Die toernooi bestaan uit drie dele: die ontwerp, bou en programmering van ‘n LEGO-robot wat sekere take binne ‘n bepaalde tyd moet voltooi. Die leerders moet navorsing doen oor ‘n spesifieke probleem binne ‘n gegewe tema en ‘n innoverende oplossing daarvoor bied. Hierdie jaar se tema is afval/rommel en maniere om dit te herwin en hergebruik. Die kernwaardes wat aan die First LEGO League-toernooi gekoppel is, moet deurentyd in die projekte vertoon word. Die Funtrhashtix-span het aartappelskyfiepakkies gebruik om isolasiekomberse te maak. Hulle projek se naam is ‘Chips-2-Blankets’. Dié innoverende projek is deur baie opgemerk en die spannetjie moes die maak en gebruik daarvan al met menige deel. FUNTRASHTIX is ‘n ywerige, doelgerigte span. Hulle sien daarna uit om hulle talente met die internasionale gemeenskap te deel.
