Graad 6- en 7-kamp

GRATIS

Gedurende die afgelope vakansie het 63 Vollies die gr. 6 en 7-kamp in Hartenbos bygewoon waar hulle baie pret gehad het en ook voorberei is vir die uitdagings wat in die volgende paar jaar op hulle wag. Hulle het baie geleer en geestelik baie gegroei.

Gimnas

Gr. 6-take

Gr. 2-take

Die graad 6-leerders van Laerskool Volschenk het stroombane soos straatliggies, ligte in ‘n huis, stoepligte, deurklokkies, spreiligte by rugbyvelde en netbalbane, alarms en hekke wat oop en toe skuif gemaak. Hierdie projek, wat deel van Natuurwetenskappe en Tegnologie se kurrikulum is en waarop hulle formeel geassesseer word, was vir die leerders geweldig interessant en het hulle kreatiwiteit pragtig ontvou. Hul kundigheid en kennis van elektrisiteit en ontwerp was werklik baie insiggewend.

Die gr. 2-leerders moes verlede kwartaal enige soort dier uit herwinbare materiaal maak. Hulle kreatiwiteit was verstommend!

This October, CANSA highlights the importance of screening and early detection for breast cancer as part of its Women’s Health Campaign. Apart from non-melanoma skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women of all races, with a lifetime risk of 1 in 35 in South Africa, according to the 2007 National Cancer Registry. “We encourage all women to conduct regular self-examinations Naam: once a month. Know how your Van: breasts look and feel – discuss any Ouderdom: Skool: changes you observe with your health Tel: practitioner. It’s also very important to Posadres: go for a mammogram every year from the age of 40,” states Elize Joubert, CANSA’s Acting CEO. She adds, “Women need to be aware of the screening opportunities available. We have mobile health clinics travelling to remote areas throughout South Africa”.

Reduce risk through regular examinations Many breast lumps are harmless, but they should all be checked. It is important for women to do monthly breast self-examinations and to go for regular clinical breast examinations. Symptom-free women of 40 and

older should go for a mammogram (a special X-ray to detect lumps in the breast), every year. Prevention and early detection The most effective weapon against cancer is knowledge. If you consider that one in four individuals may be affected by the disease during their lifetime, you will realise how powerful knowledge is in terms of risk reduction, prevention and early detection. CANSA’s prevention and early detection programmes and campaigns contain material re a balanced diet and promote a balanced lifestyle that includes regular exercise, not smoking, staying safe in the sun, doing regular self-examinations and undergoing regular medical checkups. All prevention and early detection programmes and campaigns are underpinned by research. Other cancers affecting women: • Fallopian tube cancer • Ovarian cancer • Vaginal cancer • Vaginal clear-cell adenosarcoma • Vulvar cancer • Uterine cancer How women can reduce their cancer risk: Be aware of the importance of the early detection of cancer. This enables more effective treatment and a better chance of recovery.

Acknowledge the importance of a healthy balanced lifestyle: not smoking, being sun smart, going for preventative screenings and avoiding known cancer-causing factors. We also encourage women to reduce their risk of female cancers by: • Avoiding hormone therapy • Using condoms to help prevent sexually transmitted infections such as the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), which is a high risk factor for cervical cancer • Consulting a healthcare professional on the HPV vaccine • Consulting a healthcare professional for advice on appropriate screening tests if there is a family history of cancer Mobile health clinics CANSA has nine mobile health clinics travelling to remote areas throughout South Africa in October to reach women and men who would otherwise not have access to screening. They offer the following: • Clinical breast examinations • Pap smear screening tests for cervical cancer • Prostate specific antigen (PSA) tests for men to detect prostate abnormalities • Cholesterol test • Blood pressure test

NEWS / NUUS Lamb shank with smoked chilli andbacon, apple.

AWSUM Lifestyle Lamb shank with bacon, smoked chilli and apple. SERVES 4–6.

This lamb shank recipe has a deep, smoky flavour with a hint of chilli. To sample the best that shanks have to offer it’s vital that they be cooked for a minimum of 21⁄2 hours. Shanks can’t be rushed. YOU’LL NEED: • 375 ml (11⁄2 C) apple juice • 2 large dried chillies • 250 ml (1 C) seedless raisins • 60 ml (¼ C) olive oil • Salt and freshly ground black pepper • 4–6 large lamb shanks • 2 large red onions, sliced • 6–8 large cloves garlic, crushed • 250 g chopped rindless streaky bacon • 15 ml (1 Tbsp) sweet smoked paprika • 3 bay leaves • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary • 25 ml (11⁄2 Tbsp) chopped • fresh parsley • 1 x 400 g can whole peeled • tomatoes with juice • 1 x 70 g can tomato paste • 5 ml (1 tsp) sugar • 5 whole black peppercorns • 750 ml (3 C) Pinotage • 30 ml (2 Tbsp) red wine vinegar WHAT TO DO:

• Combine the apple juice, chillies and raisins in a small bowl and leave to soak for 3 hours. Blend or liquidise the mixture until smooth. It does not matter if the raisins are not completely blended as they will add texture to the dish. Set aside. • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Season the lamb well and brown the shanks, one at a time, until golden brown. Remove from the saucepan and set aside. • Sauté the onions, garlic

and bacon in the same saucepan until soft. Add the paprika, bay leaves, rosemary, parsley, tomatoes with juice, tomato paste, sugar and peppercorns. Stir in the raisin mixture and cook for 5 minutes, stirring continuously. • Preheat the oven to 170 °C. • Transfer the lamb to a large ovenproof casserole dish, big enough to hold all the shanks. Add the red wine and sauce and cover with a tight-fitting lid. Alternatively, use a deep roasting pan and cover the meat with a layer of baking paper, followed by two layers of foil secured tightly around the edge. • Cook for 21⁄2–3 hours or until the meat comes away from the bone. Check on the liquid halfway through the cooking time. Add a little more apple juice to the cooking liquid if too much has evaporated during the prolonged cooking. Make sure the casserole is tightly covered again before returning the dish to the oven. • Once the shanks are tender, remove the casserole from the oven, remove the shanks from the sauce and set aside to keep warm. Reduce the sauce by bringing the remaining liquid to the boil. Cook rapidly until the sauce is thick and has reduced by half. • Adjust seasoning and stir in the red wine vinegar. Transfer the lamb to a serving platter and spoon the sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped fresh herbs and serve with mashed potato. Compiled by Jenny Morris Follow Jenny @jennymorrischef

In South Africa we have more languages than colours in the rainbow. We had to find one that most of us are able to use for chatting, texting, email, sports and even ordering your favourite burger at the Spur… Many parents who speak Afrikaans, isiXhosa or Sesotho at home, decide to send their children to English primary schools or classes to prepare them for the future. Is this always the right choice? When a child over the age of 3 is introduced to an environment where a second language is spoken, it could take 3 months for him to begin to understand this language, 2 years to be able to take part in conversations and 5 to 7 years to think in the second language. If a child is suddenly thrown into this new world of strange words and sounds and expected to follow instructions, read and write, he might initially appear to be mentally challenged. He will naturally also feel isolated and frustrated. Children will only learn if they understand what they hear. The snippets of English he picked up from the Minions and Old McDonald will not be sufficient to prepare him for the demands of a formal academic environment. Even children who have no difficulty talking to friends in their second language, may experience difficulties with the language of the classroom. There are different ways to introduce a second language from the age of 3: • by setting (e.g. English is spoken at the preschool, Afrikaans is spoken at home) • by topic (e.g. isiXhosa is spoken during meal time, English books are read during story time) • by speaker (e.g. Mom speaks Afrikaans only and Dad speaks English). It is important for parents and teachers to provide a good language model. If parents are not sure which language to speak to their child, we can encourage them to speak their mother tongue. Mixed adult input may result in a child having inadequate language skills and mixing languages. The experts tell us that the better developed a child’s first language is, the easier it is for him to learn a second language.

The following three factors contribute to successful second language learning: • motivation to learn • feelings of self-confidence • a low level of anxiety There are several benefits to becoming fully bilingual, including superior creativity, memory, as well as problem solving, understanding complex instructions and reading achievement. However, mother tongue education is recommended when a child has a developmental delay or disorder in his first language. Schooling in the mother tongue may also make it a little easier to assist with homework if parents are not completely proficient in the second language. Please contact Corlene Visagie (Speech-Language Therapist) if you have questions, concerns or need a speech and language assessment and support for your child. De Jager & Van Zyl Audiologists can assist with hearing tests. Tel: 044-871 3860 or email corlenespeech@georgehearing.co.za. Sources: Language development – an introduction (4th edition) by Robert.

Theres nothing quite like entertaining in your back-yard during the Summer. Whether it’s for a party or just to create a late evening chill out zone on your patio – check out this easy to do, budget friendly idea!

WHAT TO DO:

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED FOR THE LANTERNS:

1. Blow up balloons to desired size. Keep in mind that the size of your balloon dictates the size of your lanterns balls (it’s also helpful not to blow up the balloons all the way; a bit less air makes for rounder balloons). 2. If you plan to place a lantern light in your finished lanterns, draw a circle on the top of each balloon large enough to accommodate the lighting fixture. If you’re not planning to light the lanterns or you’d prefer to stuff them with a simple strand of twinkle lights, you can skip this step (just make sure you leave enough space while wrapping to stuff the twinkle lights inside). 3. Lay a plastic drop cloth over your work surface, and set up a place where balloons can be suspended from the air to dry. I draped the plastic drop cloth across the bathroom floor and

• 5 to 6 balloons, blown up to whatever size ball or lantern you want to make • large plastic drop cloth • scissors • twine or cotton yarn • basic white glue • ½ cup cornstarch • ¼ cup warm water • petroleum jelly • clear, fast-drying spray paint • lantern lights or white twinkle lights

into the bathtub so I could hang the balls on the shower bar. 4. Mix glue, cornstarch and warm water in a large container until all lumps are gone, then cover each balloon in petroleum jelly (using rubber gloves for this cuts down on the mess). 5. Feed the twine through the glue mixture until it is coated, then start draping it around the balloon. 6. Wrap the ball vertically to a comfortable tightness, then horizontally. Once ball is wrapped to your liking, use a piece of twine to suspend it from the shower bar (or drying space of your choosing). 7. Allow balls to dry for 24 hours. Then, pop the balloons. It’s like magic! Spray the balls with clear, fast-drying spray paint. 8. Once they’re dry, insert the lights, and you’re ready to party like it’s 1999!

Oranje Rivier Toer

‘n Groep van 32 van ons leerders en onderwysers het gedurende die Oktobervakansie die lang pad aangedurf na die Oranje Rivier. Daar het hulle vir drie heerlike dae vanaf die plaas, Raap en Skraap tot by Onseepkans op die Oranje Rivier geroei en gereeld oor die “rapids” omgeslaan in hulle bootjies. Vir sommige was daar ‘n paar benoude oomblikke, maar almal is dit eens dat hulle ver uit hulle gemaksones beweeg het, en dat hulle “gegroei” het in selfvertroue en eie waarde.

iPhone 6 is here! The wait is almost over, and just in time to add it to your Chirstmas wishlist.

Apple announced in a press release on Monday, that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will arrive in 36 countries and territories across Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa by the end of October. South Africa was included in the announcement and forms part of the 24 October 2014 launch wave. According to Apple, the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus will be available in a total of 69 countries and territories by the end of the month and are on track to be available in more than 115 countries by the end of the year, making this the fastest iPhone rollout ever. iPhone 6 isn’t simply bigger — it’s better in every way. Larger, yet dramatically thinner. More powerful, but remarkably power efficient. With a smooth metal surface that seamlessly meets the new Retina HD display. It’s one continuous form

where hardware and software function in perfect unison, creating a new generation of iPhone that’s better by any measure. NOT JUST A BIGGER DISPLAY. A BETTER DISPLAY. It’s one thing to make a bigger display. It’s something else entirely to make a bigger Multi‑Touch display with brilliant colors and higher contrast at even wider viewing angles. But that’s exactly what Apple has done with the new Retina HD display. HUGELY POWERFUL. ENORMOUSLY EFFICIENT. Built on 64-bit desktop-class architecture, the new A8 chip delivers more power, even while driving a larger display. The M8 motion coprocessor efficiently gathers data from advanced sensors and a new barometer. And with increased battery life, iPhone 6 lets you do more, for longer than ever.
