83 Skole se skolenuus, reggekies Die eerste AWSUM koerant is in Mei-maand in die Boland streek bekendgestel met 9 laerskole en 7 hoërskole, minwetend dat die koerant binne 7 maande in nóg 3 streke bekendgestel sou word, naamlik Helderberg, Suid-Kaap en Noordelike Voorstede. Slegs 6 maande later is 83 skole reeds deel van die AWSUM koerant wat se naam alles sê: ons som die BESTE skolenuus op en bring dit tot op jou voorstoep. Iemand het die eerste uitgawe `n “vars bries in die advertensie-wêreld” genoem, omdat dié bries oor hoe en waar om te adverteer oor die hele Wes-Kaap begin waai het. “Ons het koppe bymekaar gesit oor hoe ons ons skoolprodukte gaan uitbou en skole blootstelling in die omgewing te gee en dis toe dat AWSUM gebore is. Daar is met groot opgewondenheid weggespring en ons hoop dat elkeen wat nou met `n AWSUM in sy hand sit, die passie vir ons gemeenskap deel.” Die koerant, wat meer neig na `n koerant-tydskrif, het oor die 7 maande ontwikkel van net `n skole-

Join the biking bandwagon Mountain biking is ranked as one of the fastest growing sports in South Africa today. Cycling SA has recently renewed its support for schools to promote and embrace mountain biking, with the aim of building recognition for this Olympic sporting discipline in the school sport structure. MTB is a family-friendly activity suitable for young and old and an opportunity to meet new people and socialising on the trail – it’s all part of the adventure. If mountain biking is already one of your hobbies, you probably know the best spots by now. New trails are opening up all the time, but there are some timeless classics in some glorious surroundings such as in the Cederberg mountains, the Drakensberg, within sight of whales at De Hoop or in the Knysna forests. Some trails and tracks are as short as 10km, while others, like the magnificent Cederberg Mountain Bike Trail in Clanwilliam,
can take you over 170 km of the most dramatic rocky terrain you could wish for. The sport is growing so fast that there are now a number of mountain biking schools to teach you the skills to get the best out of – your equipment – and the terrain you move through.

Dr. Adriaan Pentz (Oor-, neus- en keelspesialis Jou mangels beskerm jou teen infeksie, maar moet baie keer uitgehaal word terwyl ʼn mens nog jonk is, omdat hulle herhaaldelik ontsteek . Die tonsils (mangels) is limfatiese organe of kliere geleë in die agterkant van die keel, een aan elke kant. Hulle funksie is om as deel van ‘n ring limfatiese kliere, tesame met die adenoïedes ‘n linguale tonsils, infeksies af te weer as jy ‘n jong kind is. Na die ouderdom van omtrent drie jaar raak die tonsils minder belangrik in hierdie opsig en begin stadig te krimp. Jou liggaam kan steeds infeksies beveg sonder die mangels. Die grootste probleme geassosieer met tonsils is herhalende infeksies. Dit gebeur wanneer die tonsils geinfekteer word terwyl bakterieë in die boonste lugweg gefiltreer word. Kinders kry dan erge keelseer en koors. Klein kinders kry dikwels ook maagpyn en kan braak. Die behandeling hiervoor is antibiotika en koorswerende/ pynmedikasie. Die tonsils word slegs verwyder as hulle meer kwaad as goed doen, soos wanneer ʼn kind herhalende episodes van akute tonsilitis kry wat hulle lewenskwaliteit negatief beïnvloed (mis baie skool, gebruik herhaaldelik antibiotika, kry baie keelseer).

As hulle erg snork of apnee kry word die tonsils gewoonlik saam met die adenoïedes verwyder. ’n Vorige peritonsillêre abses of vergrote tonsil aan een kant is ander redes vir ’n tonsillektomie. Tonsillektomie is een van die algemeenste operasies op kinders en word gewoonlik as ‘n dagprosedure gedoen. Dit neem ongeveer 20 minute. Dit is ‘n veilige prosedure en die enigste risiko is bloeding wat in 2 uit 100 kinders kan voorkom. Die kind sal ‘n week uit die skool moet bly en vir twee weke nie aan sport mag deelneem nie.

Have a perfect picnic this upcoming holiday There’s nothing quite as fun as a picnic in the sun. Food always seems to taste so good when eaten outdoors. This month the AWSUM Kombuis shares some top tips to make your picnic perfect and have some brilliant recipe ideas too. Mini quiches
Cowboy Chicken
Fritatta al fresco
Ingredients: • 1 pack of ready-made pastry (or make your own) • 4 free range eggs • milk or cream • fillings (optional) : Line an oven proof dish, it doesn’t matter what shape, with the pastry.In a measuring jug break 4 free range eggs and make up to the 280ml/ half pint mark with milk (full fat) or cream. Add a bit of pepper and some mixed herbs and pour into the pastry lined dish. Grate some cheese (strong cheddar works best) on top of the mixture.
Ingredients: Chicken drumsticks, thighs or wings (depending on preference and price) 2 lemons 2 or more cloves of garlic, crushed Black pepper and mixed herbs (optional)
Ingredients: 30ml/2tbsp vegetable oil 1 onion, sliced 2 courgettes, finely sliced 6 British Lion eggs 75g/3oz Cheddar cheese, grated
Put as many chicken drumsticks (thighs or wings) in an ovenproof dish as you need. Squeeze a couple of lemons over them and squash several cloves of garlic (one per person is a good guide but depends on your taste).
Heat the oil in a frying pan, add onions and fry for 2 minutes until soft. Add courgettes and fry for 4 minutes until golden.
Bake in medium hot oven (190 C/gas mark 5) for about 30-45 minutes - until the egg mixture has set and risen. Variations: Once you have made a success of this, you can start adding things to the quiche that you like: bits of cooked bacon, ham, feta cheese, sweet peppers, sweetcorn, broccoli, fresh herbs, spinach, tomatoes ...but it’s just as nice plain. For a crisper pastry base, prick the pastry all over with a fork and pre-cook for 10-15 minutes (blind - with no filling) before removing from the oven and adding the fillings. Then return to the oven to finish cooking.
Season with pepper and mixed herbs. Marinate in the fridge for a couple of hours. When you’re ready, pop them in a 180 C/Gas 4 oven and cook for around 40 mins... or until the chicken is cooked through. Serve with potato wedges, rice or baked beans and your favourite vegetables.
Beat eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour eggs into the pan; cook, stirring until egg has lightly set. Shake pan to level surface; cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle over cheese and cook under hot grill for 2 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. Serve warm in wedges sprinkled with basil leaves, if liked.

Outreach concert
It is such a privilege for us to be able to give back to our community and the Main Characters of the 2013 concert have shared the joy and MAGIC of ‘Part of your World’ with some of the Old Age Homes in our area. The children have been so well received and the older folks have really enjoyed every moment of their performance. Many of the older folk were in tears throughout the show but they assured the children (and us) that they were only tears of joy! One lady told us on Friday at the George and Annie Starke Home that THIS was the best day of her whole year! The children also performed a few Christmas Songs which were very well received. There are a few videos on YouTube under Durbanville Prep Outreach if you would like to view them: • • •

Early morning Cross Country
“The Edge” Indoor netball team
We have recently started an early morning Cross Country running group! Learners meet at 6:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays and go for a 3 – 5km run in the Edgemead neighbourhood accompanied by a number of staff members. We have had an overwhelming response with 30 – 40 learners taking part in each session. We are looking forward to joining the Primary Schools’ Cross Country League next year.
This term, “The Edge” indoor netball team, who represented Edgemead Primary School in the Junior League Indoor Netball Competition, did our school and their coach, Mrs Joosten, proud. These girls have been competing over the last two terms in this competition and played in the play-offs where they received bronze medals for coming third overall.
“A Colourful Collage of Entertainment”
Michael Moreland and Robbie Arends teamed up at the Western Province Tournament during the school holiday. They entered the competition with Michael ranked fifth and Robbie ranked second. Robbie then competed in the South African Junior National Tennis tournament held in Bloemfontein. This is a tournament where only the top 32 players in South Africa may compete in the main draw. Robbie was seeded number 8 and reached the quarterfinals. As a result, he was invited by South African Tennis to play in the Nike Junior Masters event held in Potchefstroom. Robbie is currently the number one ranked player in the Western Province 12u and is ranked 8th in South Africa.
In September, the Foundation Phase showcased “A Colourful Collage of Entertainment“ featuring songs like: This Old Man, Tomorrow , Grease Lightning and many more to a full-house for two evenings . A special morning show was held for the grandparents and senior citizens. All the Grade One, Two, and Three learners participated in this exciting event.
“Cool Teacher” competition Rhys Orange, a Grade 4 learner, nominated his teacher, Mrs Lategan, as a “Cool Teacher” for the Radio Heart 104.9 competition, “How cool is your school?”
Hectic Nine-9 Some of the Grade 4 learners from Edgemead Primary had the exciting opportunity to be the live studio audience for the TV show Hectic Nine-9 at the Cape Town Science Centre. Egypt Day The Grade Fives held an Egypt Day to celebrate the end of the theme for Term 3. The learners dressed up as Egyptians and the day was spent playing games, and enjoying an Egyptian feast. An ‘Egyptian Top Gear’ event was held where learners raced their elastic-powered Egyptian cars made during their Natural Science and Technology lessons. A fun day experiencing Egyptian life was had by all!
Gymnastics Daria Galukhin, a Grade 7 learner, participated in the SA National Rhythmic Gymnastics Championship in the U13 Level 8 category during the September holidays.
Jarryd Butler finished fourth in the NSF 100 championship in PE in September.
The annual Grade Seven Market Day proved to be an “Alien Affair” for some. This store, with its “goo” and green slime was an absolute favourite, particularly amongst the younger learners.
She achieved gold medals in the ball, hoop and club events and a silver medal in the free dance section. Daria was the overall winner of the section and achieved a fifth gold medal.

Graad 1 Rommelverkoping
Die graad 1’s van Laerskool Welgemoed het ‘n rommelverkoping gehou sodat hulle prakties die ervaring kan opdoen om met geld te werk. Elke kind het sy speelgoedkas leeggemaak en ongebruikte speelgoed klas toe gebring. Op Vrydag, 17 Oktober het die graad 1’s na hartelus by ons Rommelverkoping gekoop. Die pragtige bedrag van R1320,00 is geìn. Van hierdie geld het ons Kersgeskenke aangekoop vir die voorskoolse kinders van die Steinthal Kinderhuis in Tulbagh. 25 Kinderharte word voor Kersfees verbly. Ons kon regtig ‘n verskil maak.
Senior Choir At the Tygerberg Eistedfodd this year the choir performed in the contemporary category, the only choir performing in this category. The songs were approached like Music Theatre, including dance movements and acting, where the marks adjudicated by the panel were between 70% and 84%, with our average being 74,3%. An achievement we are very proud of with a choir where the majority of students have sung in a choir for the first time, or have never been on a stage before. They also prepared a very big choral piece by the composer Karl Jenkins, Peacemakers. It makes use of words by well-known people like Nelson Mandela, Anne Frank, Biblical texts and some texts from poets and other religious works. We are currently preparing for Carols by Candlelight, on 30 November, which will be performed at Willowbridge and directly broadcasted by Radio Tygerberg.

Golfdag Op Donderdag, 31/10, het Laerskool BellvilleNoord se OV die 22ste agtereenvolgende jaarlikse gholfdag aangebied by die Bellville Gholfbaan. Die weer was by tye erg onplesiering en nat, maar dit het die manne wat ingeskryf het nie afgeskrik nie. Goeie gholf, asook soms minder goeie gholf, is gespeel maar een-en-elkeen wat deelgeneem het, het dit geniet. Oud-leerders wen boeremusiek-kompetisie Tydens die Boeremusiekgilde se Nasionale Boereorkes-kompetisie op 5 Oktober, het ‘n groep oudleerders van Laerskool BN ons baie trots gemaak. Christof Carstens, Jaco Carstens, Heinrich Raats, Nicola Meyer, Sias Meyer en SJ Meyer was almal leerders by ons. Die groep (waarvan Nicola en Christof nog in Hs Bellville is) het die kompetisie in die Nasionale Tradisionele Opkomende afdeling gewen. Hul is dus die beste orkes in SA in hierdie afdeling!! Wat ‘n puik prestasie!!
Josh pruiswenners Op 2 November was daar ‘n groot gewerfskaf in Bellville-Noord se skoolsaal toe Josh Thirion (skrywer van die kookboek Kook met Josh, waarvan die Engelse uitgawe vroëer vanjaar in Parys, Frankryk as beste kinder kookboek wêreldwyd aangewys is) sy droom bewaarheid het om saam met ander kinders kospakkies op te maak vir minderbevoorregtes. Op Vrydag, 8 November, het Josh persoonlike hierdie pryse tydens ‘n byeenkoms in die BN se skoolsaal oorhandig. Bellville-Noord se pryswenners en die pryse was: Monique Zwart - elektronies melkverromer-toestel; Ané Theron - Chrome broodrooster; Jean-Jacques Victor - onthaal deur twee professionele chefs vir ‘n dag vir 30 mense; Kara Kalkwasser - Snappy Chef Induksie-oond; Skyler Klazen - ‘n nag in die hotel by Grandwest vir 2 volwassenes. Ons buurskool, Bellpark, het ook twee pryswenners opgelewer en hul was: Dian Hart - onthaal deur twee professionele chefs vir ‘n dag vir 30 mense; Robert Whitehead - ‘n familie-dagpakket by Coolrunnings. Die graad 12’s wat in 2008 in BellvilleNoord graad 7 was, het ons vanjaar op 7 Oktober besoek. Dit is nou al ‘n jaarlikse instelling dat ons net voor die eindeksamen die matrieks sterkte toewens met die eksamen.
Jong akteurs hou konsert 35 van ons leerders het Maandag-aand as deel van Dramatics Drama Akademie ‘n heerlik vermaaklike konsert aangebied. Ouers, grootouers en ‘n paar ander belangstellendes het hul piekniekmandjies op mooi versierde tafels uitgepak of sommer lekker springmielies by die “snoepie” gekoop. ‘n Aand by die “Oscars” is opgevoer met karakters soos Jane Blond, die Oempaloempas asook “Cowboys and Crooks”. Daar was ook prinsesse en filmmakers en ‘n paar Mafia-agtige karakters...wat natuurlik die onderspit gedelf het. Daar was opgetree sonder allerhande duur tegnologiese katoeters, beligting en klank of duur dekor, maar tog was dit ‘n hoogs aangename ervaring. Veels geluk. ‘n Groot dankie aan hul afrigter, Chantal vd Hoven, wat soveel geleentheid gee vir BN se jong talentvolle akteurs.
Laerskool Bellville Noord
Bellville-Noord skenk ‘n tweede rolstoel aan iemand in nood Danksy die insameling van plastiek broodsakkieknippies, wat meer as ‘n jaar of twee terug deur Jané Baard (nou in graad 7) begin is, het Bellville-Noord nou al ‘n tweede rolstoel aan ‘n persoon in nood oorhandig. Hier is Peet du Preez (die ontvanger) se storie. Peet was gedurende April 2004 van die werk oppad huistoe. Toe hy uit sy motor klim, ry ‘n motor met ‘n besope bestuurder so na aan hom verby dat sy voet afgeruk was. Die voet kon nie gered word nie, en voordat hy ontslaan word het hy weer in die hospitaal geval wat tot ‘n heupoperasie lei. ‘n Jaar na die operasies was die wonde voldoende genees, en het hy ‘n kunsbeen ontvang. Hy kon goed loop tot aan die einde van 2010. Pyn en ongemak as gevolg van die drukpunte het ongelukkig toe infeksie veroorsaak in die geeamputeerde been. Gevolglik was hy weer op die krukke sodat die ”stompie” kan genees. Vroëer vanjaar in Oktober het Peet gehoor hy moet weer geopereer word, maar kry toe ook die goeie nuus van die rolstoel wat bekom is deur die 50 kg plastiekknippies wat deur ons ingesamel is. Hy het die rolstoel toe verlede week in ontvangs geneem tydens ‘n kort seremonie in ons skoolsaal. Peet se boodskap aan die kinders was: “Pas elke lidmaat op, want as jy dit verloor kan niks dit vervang nie”.
Miss Edenvale Hospice Charné Heunis (gr. 6) is nog steeds baie aktief betrokke by liefdadigheidswerk wat saamgaan met skoonheidskompetisies. Sy het sopas deelgeneem aan die Miss Edenvale Hospice Debutante 2013. Sy dra die kroon met trots. ‘n Groot bedrag van R 3000 is deur haar vir hierdie instansie ingesamel! Veels geluk hiermee. Sy was verder weereens baie besig met kompetisies en hier is ‘n paar uitslae: • Miss A-Z Bridal Beauty Pageant - 2de Prinses • Little Miss Aurora 2013 - 1ste Prinses • 2de Plek verower in ‘n Landswyd kompetisie “SA’s Top Modellook 2013” • Miss Dazzling 1ste Prinses • Miss Glamour 1ste Prinses • Miss Face of Natural Beauty - 2de Prinses
Baie dankie vir elkeen wat ‘n knippie bygedra het, en sodoende bygedra het om ‘n rolstoel (sy rooi Ferrarri) aan Peet te kon skenk.
Landsdienslede kamp by Mizpah Bellville-Noord se Landsdiensklub het die afgelope kwartaal saam met Mikro, Brackenfell, De Tyger en Worcester-Oos by die Mizpah-kampterrein buite Grabouw gekamp. Vrydag-aand het almal toiletrolpoppies gemaak vir Village-of-Hope, ‘n veilige tuiste vir kinders en vigswesies in Grabouw. Elke kamper het ook nie-bederfbare kosprodukte gebring wat Saterdag deur die dag saam met die poppies by hul afgelaai sou word. Vroëer die dag net na die aankoms het die kampers ook lekker geswem. Saterdag-oggend het almal kans gehad om die ziplyn aan te durf voordat ons met die bussies vertrek het na Eskom se Palmiet-besoekerssentrum. Ons het ook die Palmietkragstasie aangedoen en o.a. afkyk in die 20 verdieping diepe skag wat die massiewe turbines huisves. Om te dink ‘n bus kan maklik in een van die pype pas wat water vanaf die Rockviewdam tot by hierdie turbines afvoer! Working On Fire het ons na ‘n heerlike middag-ete besoek en met ons kom praat oor hul werk. Hul het ons ook verbaas met hul fiksheid en praktiese demonstrasie van wat hul moet kan doen om in dié brandblus-span te kan bly. Na afloop van die WOF-besoek het die kampers mekaar leer vertrou in ‘n “blindevertroue”-aktiwiteit. Terselfdertyd het ‘n groep ook na ‘n waterval in die berg gestap en langs die roete fynbos bestudeer en geteken.

Aristea carols by candlelight It is customary for Aristea Primary to present an evening of praise to our Holy Father during the fourth term. This tradition has once again been successfully implemented on the 21st October. Both the Senior --and Junior choirs performed, together with our very entertaining Marimba Band. Two gifted teachers voiced their praise in song. The Brackenfell High School choir was our guest performer and greatly contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. Truly an enjoyable event.
Music Evening Traditionally, music departments in schools have an annual concert in which music students demonstrate their progress for the year. Aristea has a unique way of going about it. Every year a style period in music is demonstrated. This year the theme was named “Portrait of Romanticism” with the aid of PowerPoint’s, period costumes and text acclamations. The most important composers and style characteristics of the Romantic period unfolded through the pieces played by learners. In addition, each learner compiled a profile of an individual composer which was exhibited in the foyer. Berlioz and Liszt rocks, but at Aristea we make them boogie as well!

Games Day! The energy levels at Aristea Primary were bumped up on 11 November 2013. That Friday on the calendar, marked a fun-filled day with rides, games and sales of various lip-smacking goodies. It was interesting to notice playful learners still enjoying themselves at least two hours after the normal Friday dismissal time. Our conclusion: School can be fun!!! – At Aristea!

Pasop daar is `n sss...slaggat Sowat 60 km van elke 100 km van die land se padnetwerk van meer as 550 000km is beskadig of het slaggate en sowat een uit elke 12 dodelike padongelukke (8,02%) in Suid-Afrika is aan die swak toestand van die paaie toe te skryf. Gedurende Desember is die land se paaie weer vol met duisend vakansiegangers, maar vir Suid-Afrikaners is daar een s-woord wat ons humeurvlakke toets… en dis SLAGGATE. Ons almal kry `n rilling in ons nek as mens net dink aan die skade wat `n slaggat aan jou kar kan doen en niemand het Januarie fondse beskikbaar, na die kerstyd, om dit te herstel nie. Ons deel met julle raad wat julle te doen staan indien julle die s-woord tref. Ek het `n slaggat getref, wat nou? • • •
Motoriste wat ’n slaggat tref moet dadelik ’n bandehandelaar besoek om die balans en sporing te laat nagaan. Dit is ook belangrik dat hulle ’n visuele inspeksie van die onderkant van die voertuig doen om enige bykomende skade vas te stel. As dit nie gou gedoen word nie, kan dit uitermatige bandslytasie en hoër brandstofverbruik tot gevolg hê. Wanneer die kar in `n rigting trek na jy `n slaggat getref het, dui dit op die
• • • • • •
wielbalansering wat uit is. Dit moet reggestel word oor dit op die langtermyn nadelige gevolge vir jou motor kan inhou. Die belangrikste natuurlik is om slaggate heeltemal te vermy. Hoe kan ons slaggate vermy? Moenie teenaan die kar voor jou ry nie. Jy gaan vinniger kan reageer as jy `n afstand voor jou het om die slaggat raak te sien. Dis `n mite dat mens oor `n slaggat kan “vlieg” as jy vinnig oor hom ry, daarom ry stadiger. Kyk uit vir poele, omdat dit partykeer soos `n poel lyk, maar eintlik `n slaggat kan wees. As jy die slaggat tref, onthou die volgende: Hou die stuurwiel styf vas, sodat jy beheer oor die kar het. Moenie rem terwyl jy die slaggat tref nie, dit kan die skade vererger. Los jou rem die oomblik as jy die slaggat tref.
Veilig reis!
