aar presies waar kry jy die tyd om die magies vol genoeg te kry – en dan so vroeg in die oggend? En dit is nie dat hulle juis opgewonde by die ontbyttafel staan en rondtrippel nie – inteendeel. Hóór dan net daar: “Ag, Maaaa! Ek ís nie honger nie!” En dan is daar nog jou man … Hy sê dat hy régtig nie voor tienuur kan eet nie. Hy sê jy moet beslis nie bodder met ontbyt vir hóm nie. Hoekom ontbyt? • Jou kind se lyfie werk net soos jou motor se enjin – as daar nie brandstof in is nie, is daar nie beweging nie. Maar as jy die regte tipe brandstof ingooi, sal die prestasie beter wees. Soos by die motor, só ook by die kinders. • Ontbyt voorkom ook moeilikheid. Kinders (en volwassenes) wat nie ontbyt eet nie, word sommer vroegoggend moeg – en kan boonop rusteloos of sommer kort van draad word. Nee, moenie dat jou mense ontbyt oorslaan nie. • Daar is ook ’n langer termynvoordeel: Hoe vroeër jou kinders (en jou man, én jy) die dag se eerste ete nuttig, hoe vroeër word julle
metabolisme wakker. Eet dus maar jou vroegoggendse ontbyt, en die kanse dat jy vetsugtig gaan wees, word baie … uhm, skraler. Brekfis vir breinkrag Dit is belangrik om seker te maak dat jou gesin die régte soort kos vir ontbyt inneem. Kies kossoorte wat ryk aan graan, vesel en proteïne is. Vermy graanprodukte wat ’n hoë suikerinhoud het. Die horlosie is teen my! Ons weet dat álle mammas juis in die oggend Súperma(n) moet wees. Veral in die winter, as dit vir almal (ook vir haar!) moeilik is om uit die bed te kom. Probeer gerus hierdie praktiese wenke om te sorg dat die ontbyt ingaan voordat jou gesin soggens by die huis uitgaan. • Sorg dat daar altyd gesonde ontbytopsies in jou spens is. • Dek die ontbyttafel die vorige aand. • Maak reeds die vorige aand ’n groot bak vrugteslaai, sodat jy teen ontbyt-tyd net kan opskep.
• Probeer om jou gesin (net) 15 minute vroeër as gewoonlik wakker te kry. • Laat die kinders jou help om die ontbyt voor te berei. • Énigiets kan vroegoggend gebeur (soos jy maar al te goed weet!) – sorg dus vir stap-en-hap moontlikhede: vars vrugte, klein bakkies jogurt, neute, gekookte eiers. Jou gesin se geluk en gesondheid is tog vir jou ’n prioriteit, Mamma. Sorg dan dat ’n gesonde en gereelde ontbyt ook op daardie prioriteitslysie verskyn. Bon appétit!

DIY Chalkboard Serving Platter
Just one more chalkboard porcelain paint project, and then I’ll give it a rest. I promise. How about… a chalkboard serving platter? It’s perfect for serving cheese, cookies, or any other goodies you might need to label.
There is no greater or more accurate indicator of a child’s academic progress than that of his or her reading skills. Children who choose to pick up a book for pleasure are more likely to succeed in life, research shows. Reading for pleasure therefore reveals a predisposition not just to literature, but also to lifelong learning which is essential for furthering one’s career. But getting them to do so isn’t easy! So, how do I help my child become a reader? * Set time aside for reading every day. * Join the library. Membership is free! * When you go shopping, visit a bookshop and browse with your child. * Add a book or magazine to your month’s grocery list. * Subscribe to a weekly / monthly magazine for your child. * Joke books are popular with even reluctant readers. * Focus on your child’s particular interest.

PHOTO: PHOTO: THE HOGSBACK LIBRARY - WELL STOCKED, WELL USED AND RUN BY THE LOCAL VILLAGERS. AND YES, HOBBITS DO READ!
YOU’LL NEED: A porcelain platter Painter’s tape Chalkboard Paint Soft bristle paint brush HOW TO: 1. Make sure your platter is clean and dry. 2. If desired use painter’s tape to mask off the edges of the platter, otherwise skip the tape and freehand it. 3. Apply the paint with a soft bristle brush. You will be able to see the brush strokes after the paint dries, so be careful and keep your strokes even.
Boys tend to enjoy non-fiction: books on sport, nature, amazing facts, etc. * Connect family experiences and current events to reading. If going on holiday, read up on the places you will be visiting. * Set a time aside for family games that require reading. Monopoly, Trivial Pursuit, Scrabble, etc * Read out interesting or funny bits from what you are reading yourself. * Encourage your child to share with the family what they are reading. * Bribery and bargaining have their place if you are at your wit’s end! If your cricket playing son reads a chapter a day for a month, you’ll buy him the cricket bat he so badly wants! * It is always possible that a child who is vehemently opposed to reading has either a reading difficulty or poor eyesight. Both need to be addressed as soon as possible. * Read to your child. It is fun, it is simple, it is cheap – it is also the most effective advertisement for the pleasures of reading. Article by Charmaine Bailey; Academic Head at George Randell Primary
4. As soon as you are done painting carefully remove the tape if you used it. If you remove it before the last coat of paint dries, the tape will be less likely to peel up the edges of the paint. 5. Let the paint dry for 24 hours.

THE BENEFITS OF INVESTING IN PROPERTY Buying an investment property doesn’t have to be an overwhelming decision because we can assist you every step of the way. Here at RE/MAX, our team is geared to help you with this decision and help ensure you invest in property which will benefit you financially in the long run. Anyone can invest, not just the extremely wealthy. You don’t need large sums of money to be able to get involved with real estate.
Your property could serve as a retirement plan, if it produces a good rental income. The property could also increase in value, which would give you a good return when selling it in the future. The rental income you receive from your property also allows you to borrow and then benefit by helping you pay the interest on your bond.
Investing in real estate is a safe investment because you are in full control of your property assets, meaning you are essentially the CEO of your investments, where other investments may be at the mercy of external forces. The younger you start to invest in property, the better. There are tons of ways in which you can add value to your property, which then increases the value and your returns on the investment.
The majority of us will not gain wealth overnight, it takes long term investing and a diverse portfolio to create wealth, but property investment is an essential part of this portfolio. Contact RE/MAX today and let an experienced professional help guide you through the process of investing in property to become a millionaire. Don’t wait any longer, make that call today.

Studies have shown that children who eat a well-balanced school lunch often do better in school, are more alert and are more likely to participate in extra mural activities. One of the best ways to get your children to eat what you pack, is to get them involved in the selection of what you send with them. Let kids help prepare sandwiches and fill their own lunch boxes. They will be more likely to consume the entire meal. It works best if you agree on some basics: each lunch box meal should include a protein, starch, fruit and vegetable. Take the stress out of school lunch boxes by planning ahead. Make sure you have an adequate supply of lunch food items on hand to make it through the week. Pack food the night before to avoid the morning rush and avoid making unwise choices. It may take a while for your children to get used to a healthier lunchbox. But it will be worth it for their health, so keep trying. You can help by eating a wider range of healthier foods at
home, as a family. Reading food labels can help you to buy healthier foods for your child’s lunch, and for family meal times. Save chocolate and cakes for occasional treats. Remember to praise your child when they’ve tried something new, to show your encouragement. Take your child along if possible on shopping trips. Guide them in picking out vegetables and fruits from the fresh produce aisles as you push the trolley. Try and fill your shopping basket with as much fresh produce as possible and limiting the amount of pre packaged food items. Teaching children how to make healthy choices will enable them to establish a foundation of good nutrition and positive lifestyle habits that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. A healthy lunch keeps active kids alert and focused and gives them the nutrition they need every day. But no matter how healthy your child’s lunch box is, it won’t provide any nutritional value if it doesn’t get eaten!
Lunch Box Ideas
• Mini Tortilla wraps • Wholewheat sandwhich with a healthy protein topping: Peanut butter, cheese, chicken, tuna,cottage cheese • Pasta salad • Biltong • Yoghurt • Raw Unsalted nuts eg. Almonds • Mini Meat balls • Chicken Strips • Crudites (Carrot,cucumber sticks etc) with a hummus or cottage cheese dip • Fresh Fruit /Fruit Kebab • Slice of quiche or Savoury Tart • Popcorn or pretzels • Ryvitas/Provitas with a topping • Home made veggie muffin • Mini Pita Bread with filling • Don’t forget the WATER!

Dié proses sal ongeveer 48 uur duur.

Fish for thought 4 JUNE 2014
PAN-FRIED FISH WITH FRESH LEMON This simple recipe relies on butterand a good non-stick frying pan. You need: ● dollop of butter ● 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil ● few sage leaves (optional) ● 1 firm white fish fillet per person, preferably not too thick, skin and bones removed (I like using fresh sole fillets) ● salt ● 1 tablespoon (15 ml) flour ● 1/4 lemon per fillet (or you could use lime halves if you can get them) Get a non-stick frying pan very hot, then slide in the butter and oil, as well as a few sage leaves, stalks removed. Season the fish with fine salt on both sides and dredge in the flour, patting it lightly to remove the excess. Place in the hot pan (don’t do more than three fillets at a time) and leave on that side for about 2 minutes, then turn and fry the other side. The butter should be burnt by this time, but never fear. Burnt butter is delicious. Squeeze a lemon quarter over each fillet and serve immediately If your fish fillet is thicker than about 1.5 cm, it may be hard to cook it through without burning it. Solve this by either putting the lid on and lowering the temperature, or by finishing it off in a hot oven for about 3 minutes until cooked through. Don’t be scared to pierce the fish with a knife to check if it’s cooked (it will be white and flaky). It’s the only way you’ll get a feel for it.
Omega-3 in fish:
How eating fish helps your heart The omega-3 fatty acids in fish are good for your heart. Find out why the hearthealthy benefits of eating fish usually outweigh any risks. If you’re worried about heart disease, eating one to two servings of fish a week could reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack.
Serving size depends on number of fillets – limit it to 2–3, otherwise you won’t be able to fit them all in your pan, and hence some people will eat fish that’s either cold, or dry. © Carina Truyts 2014 Published by Human & Rousseau
For many years, the Heart Association has recommended that people eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids at least twice a week. Doctors have long believed that the unsaturated fats in fish, called omega-3 fatty acids, are the nutrients that reduce the risk of dying of heart disease. However, more recent research suggests that other nutrients in fish or a combination of omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients in fish may actually be responsible for the health benefits from fish. When it comes to a healthier heart, the benefits of eating fish usually outweigh the possible risks of exposure to contaminants. Find out how to balance these concerns with adding a healthy amount of fish to your diet. What are omega-3 fatty acids, and why are they good for your heart? Fish contain unsaturated fatty acids, which, when substituted for saturated fatty acids such as those in meat, may lower your cholesterol. But the main beneficial nutrient appears to be omega-3 fatty acids in fatty fish. Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of unsaturated fatty acid that may reduce inflammation throughout the body. Inflammation in the body can damage your blood vessels and lead to heart disease.
Omega-3 fatty acids may decrease triglycerides, lower blood pressure, reduce blood clotting, decrease stroke and heart failure risk, reduce irregular heartbeats, and in children may improve learning ability. Eating at least one to two servings a week of fish, particularly fish that’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death. How much fish should you eat? For adults, at least two servings of omega-3-rich fish a week are recommended. A serving size is (99 grams), or about the size of a deck of cards. Women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant and young children should limit the amount of fish they eat because they’re most susceptible to the potential effects of toxins in fish. Eating fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients appears to provide more heart-healthy benefits than does using supplements. Other nonfish food options that do contain some omega-3 fatty acids include flaxseed, flaxseed oil, walnuts, canola oil, soybeans and soybean oil. However, similar to supplements, the evidence of heart-healthy benefits from eating these foods isn’t as strong as it is from eating fish. HTTP://WWW.MAYOCLINIC.ORG

OUTTA3-2-1-BLAST THIS OFF! WORLD Best Car Games for Kids Banish backseat boredom without spending a cent! What do parents dread most about family road trips? It’s not the cost of filling up the gas tank. It’s also not traffic or toll roads or Sunday drivers. It’s the thought of their own little cherubs stuck together in tight quarters for hours. Luckily, there are lots of ways to keep kids happily entertained and enjoying each other’s company. And the best part? You can achieve it without spending a cent. HERE ARE OUR PICKS FOR THE BEST CAR GAMES FOR KIDS: I Spy. “I spy with my little eye, something red.” This easy-to-learn game is perfect for preschoolers, and can keep them entertained for unbelievably long periods of time. The directions are simple: One person spies something and recites the line, ending in a clue. Everyone else takes turns trying to guess the mystery item. License Plate Game. When we were kids, everyone seemed to play the license plate game on family road trips. Armed with a pad of paper, we would write down the name of each province or district as we spotted it. The goal, of course, was to nab all provinces. If we were lucky, we’d spot a Namibian or a number plate from Botswana and Swaziland, too.

I’m Going on a Picnic. This alphabet-based memory game is great for kids 5 and up.
You don’t need a game board or any materials. The game can be played with as few as two players, but it’s more fun when the whole family joins in. The first player says “I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing...” followed by something that begins with A, such as apples. The second player repeats what the first person said, but adds something that begins with B. So she might say “I’m going on a picnic and I’m bringing apples and bananas.” And so on with C, D, and the rest of the alphabet. If someone forgets an item, she is out. To be fair, feel free to be lenient and give hints to younger players. The last player to be able to recite all the items on the list wins.

20 Questions. This easy-peasy game is great for younger kids, thanks to its straightforward rules. Player One thinks of a person, place or thing. Everyone else takes turns asking questions that can be answered with a simple yes or no. After each answer, the questioner gets one guess. Play continues until a player guesses correctly.

Spot the Car. For families with ’tween and teen car hounds, this scavenger hunt is a fun alternate to the license plate game. Instead of looking for different provinces or towns, you’re looking for different car models.

Pearson High School JUNE 2014 13
WOODRIDGE VS PEARSON Girls’ Hockey In their annual derby against Woodridge, the Pearson Girls’ Hockey teams dominated the results winning all but one of their matches. The first team recorded a well-earned 4-1 victory in their match in what turned out to be a very strong game from both teams. The continues pressure from the Pearson girls, earned them a short corner. Luzaan Potgieter gave a beautiful back hand straight into the back of the box, which made the score 4-1 to Pearson.
Netball Report The game produced excellent competitive netball with the Pearson team showing superior skills and resolve and running out comfortable winners by 29 goals to 19. The Pearson captain, Gcobisa Yako, towered over the game and was deservedly named Player of the Match.
Rugby 1st XV Report From the start of the game it was clear that the visiting Pearson side would be too much in all aspects of the game. Pearson continued their dominance in the second half with a clinical performance and showed a bit of their hand for the 2015 season by playing the last 20 min at the game with no gr 12 learner on the field. The youngsters did not disappoint and when the final whistle blew Pearson ran out victories 64-0.

Pearson an orator school to be reckoned with Pearson High School in Summerstrand is proving to be a debating and oratory school of stature if you judge its performances at competitions. Not only was the school’s debating team, Minet Nel, Inge de Wet and Jani Gerber, the overall winners of the Stellenbosch Woordfees Debating Competition in the section: New Brooms, but its orators excelled in the semi-final round of the prestigious ATKV Oratory Competition held in George the past weekend.
14/15 August 2014. Samantha Pieters – First Additional Language section – came second in her competition and will also be proceeding to the national finals. Pearson High School is indeed an oratory school of excellence!
Pearson had 5 learners representing them in the following categories: First Additional language senior, Home Language junior and Home Language senior where the top 20 speakers from previous rounds competed for a place in this year’s National Final. Samantha Pieters took part in the First Additional Language category, Lara van Heerden in the junior Home language section and Mieke Struwig, Stephani le Roux and Jani Gerber in the senior Home Language section. Orators in the senior section had to prepare a new speech in a limited time period of 2 hours and then had to deliver it. Jani Gerber, the youngest of the semifinalists (and the only speaker in grade 10 among the other grade 11 and 12 speakers) won the competition and will be representing her province at the national final to be held in Rustenburg on

Historic win for Victoria Park High Victoria Park’s 1st rugby team played against Union High on Saturday at Victoria Park. The match proved to be the “perfect show-case” of how exciting schoolboy rugby can be. The match could have gone either way and went down to the wire. Victoria Park’s first 15 showed lots of guts and glory to hang on to a narrow victory of 11 – 10.
Victoria Park scored the first points of the match, with Roshaan Stembull (no 10) scoring in the left corner of the field, after a full back-line movement. The lead was extended soon after that with a converted penalty by Stembull. Just before half-time, it was Union’s turn to turn on the gas and they made full use of their possession and scored
a converted try to bring the half-time score to 8-7. Half-way through the second-half, Union converted a penalty to take the lead for the first time in the match (10 – 8). Victoria Park counterattacked and put Union under pressure, resulting in a converted penalty by Stembull, to bring the winning score to 11 – 10 in V.P’s favour.

DF Malherbe Hoërskool / High School JUNE 2014 15
Hoërskool DF Malherbe bied laerskole rugbyontwikkelingskliniek aan vir laerskole! Hoërskool DF Malherbe gaan in die vakansie, vanaf 3 tot 5 Julie 2014, ‘n laerskole rugbykliniek aanbied vir graad 4 tot 7 leerders in die Port Elizabeth omgewing. Die kliniek is daarop gemik om die rugbyvaardighede soos balhantering, bewegingslyne, verdediging en aanvalspatrone onder jong spelers te bevorder. Dewald van Staden, sportorganiseerder van DF, het die inisiatief
geneem om die kliniek aan te bied aangesien hy graag wil sien dat hierdie vaardighede op ‘n jong ouderdom by spelers ingeskerp moet word. Hy sien hierdie kliniek as ‘n ideale geleentheid vir jong, entoesiastiese spelers om hul vakansietyd konstruktief te benut. Dewald was vir 2 jaar betrokke by WP Kidz en ook deel van die afrigterspersoneel by soortgelyke rugbyklinieke in die Westelike Provinsie. Stephen Aylward (voormalige OPskrumskakel), en Jaco Kirsten (voormalige OP-voorry, asook eienaar van Stormforce), vorm ook deel van die afrigtingspan. Beide van hulle het jare se rugbykennis in onderskeidelik agterlyn- en voorspelerspel.
Mieke de Ridder slaan ‘n barshou! Mieke de Ridder, ‘n top vroue- krieketspeler van Hoërskool DF Malherbe, is vir die 2de agtereenvolgende jaar aangewys as die OP se Senior Vrouekrieketspeler van die jaar. Wat die prestasie so besonders maak is die feit dat sy nog nie eens klaar is met haar skoolloopbaan nie. Sy is ook gekies om as deel van die SA O/19 span te vertrek na Nieu-Seeland vir die Wêreldbeker, maar sy moes onttrek a.g.v. haar matriek- akademiese verpligtinge. Haar skool wens haar alle sterkte toe met haar loopbaan as speler en ons hoop sy bereik nog baie hoogtes!
Baie geluk! DF Malherbe se gholfspan gereed vir SA Skolekampioenskappe Hoërskool DF Malherbe se gholfspan is gereed vir die S.A. Skole Toernooi te Bloemfontein vanaf 21 tot 23 Junie 2014. DF Malherbe sal hierdie jaar die enigste skool wees wat die O.P. by die S.A. Skole gaan verteenwoordig. Die span vertrek Vrydag, 20 Junie na Bloemfontein en ons glo hulle sal die O.P. op ‘n waardige wyse gaan verteenwoordig. Die skool se leuse lei nie verniet “STAAN ROTSVAS” nie!
