Dye your Easter eggs

Hint: You can either hard-boil eggs before you dye them, or blow them after dyeing. To reduce the chances of your eggs cracking when hard-boiling, use very fresh eggs and make sure they are at room temperature. Cook in a small saucepan so eggs move around less, and remember they should simmer rather than boil.

To blow eggs, use a long needle to make a small hole at each end of egg. Place your mouth on one end and blow the contents into a bowl. Rinse egg out with water and a little vinegar then allow to dry on paper towels.

What you will need:Hard-boiled or fresh eggs, Food colouring, White vinegar, Measuring spoons and cup, Bowl, Spoon, Paper towels, Round stickers, Painters’ removable tape, cut into thin strips.

Arrange stickers on egg Dip eggs in dye Dry & remove stickers

Step-by-step:

How to dye:Fill a bowl with 3 cups hot water, 2 tbs vinegar, 3 capfuls blue food colouring and 1 capful red food colouring. Mix to combine, then dip eggs in, carefully removing with a spoon when they reach desired.

With Easter just around the corner, the urge to give into cravings and overindulge in mini eggs, chocolate bunnies and hot cross buns is imminent, with temptation in abundance!

To satisfy your sweet tooth without the guilt this Easter, we share some AWSUM tips on how to control your cravings:

Moderate and regulate: Top five tips for controlling cravings

1. Avoid skipping meals: If your blood sugar levels are low, you are more likely to give in to temptations. It’s important to start the day with a nutritious breakfast to resist consuming calorific mid-morning snacks.2. Choose low GI carbohydrates: Maintain your energy levels throughout the day with a healthy diet consisting of small portions of low GI carbohydrates and regular

Easter can act as the ultimate excuse to binge on as much chocolate as possible. Learn how to avoid the overindulgence this year!

consumption of lean protein foods.3. Combat deficiency with supplementation: Chromium is a natural mineral found in the body which helps to move glucose from the bloodstream into the cells to be used as energy. Chromium supplements have been found to maintain blood sugar levels and minimise food cravings. Magnesium is an essential mineral that regulates more than 300 of the body’s metabolic reactions and research shows that deficiency may cause chocolate cravings.4. Allow yourself an occasional treat: Give in to your craving every once in a while. If you completely eliminate forbidden treats from your diet, it can create uncontrollable urges to binge.5. Get active: Regular exercise is a great way to boost your mood, improve energy levels and reduce chocolate cravings. Try to exercise each day over the Easter break, take a brisk walk, go on a bike ride, or play a family game of beach cricket.

Come and visit us to feel all the colours, taste all the flavours and get swept off of your feet in a world filled with gorgeous meats.

High protein and low fat recipeLife without delicious, gorgeous foods would be completely dull without any flavours to look forward to for dinner.

One of the main questions asked within the industry is: What foods make you fat?There are many myths that people are made to believe with regards to eating and living healthy.

Our answer to this question is: Natural fats that come from animals, vegetables and even fruits are exactly what the human body requires to function fantastically without fail. The intake of these fat groups provides the body with the correct nutrients, vitamins, proteins and minerals to prevent flu for example.

The main key is to consume everything in moderation.

Here follows a high protein and LOW natural fat recipe:

ParsleyParsley is slightly peppery and bright herb. There are two main varieties of parsley - curly leaf and flat leaf. Curly leaf is probably the most recognizable, as restaurants often use it as a garnish on their plating, but both varieties are widely used in cooking.

Health benefits of Parsley:Parsley is a great source of vitamin C, calcium, iron and fiber. Raw parsley also acts as a breath freshener and has anti-inflammatory properties.

How to Use Parsley in Your Cooking:Because of its light scent and fresh taste, parsley can be used in anything from soups to sauces to vegetables.

Tips with Parsley:

1. To store parsley, rinse with cool water and then wrap in a slightly damp paper towel in a resealable plastic bag and keep in the fridge.

2. Infuse your homemade dressing with chopped parsley for maximum flavor while you’re putting together a salad.

3. You can dry your fresh parsley by tying a bunch together and hanging it upside down in a cool, dry place. When the parsley is completely dry, remove the stems and store the dried leaves in an airtight container. You can also dry out your parsley in a slightly warm oven or in a dehydrator.

Interact Charity Father and Son Adventure Day

Grade 10 Leadership and Teamwork skills tested at Pecan ValleyAdventure Day

Grade 11 Takes to the Airport

Saturday 22 March saw the Interact Father and Son Adventure Day in aid of Canaan Care Centre. The Liliyfontein Interact group has supported this centre, which provides facilities for persons with severe and profound physical and mental disabilities, for the past 10 years. By providing a day for Dad’s and their sons to work and play together we not only raised funds for a great cause, but also gave the fathers and opportunity to show their sons how important they are.

The grade 10 year of our Adventure Programme is all about learning survival techniques. The grade 10’s went off to Pecan Valley for a survival boot camp. They were set tasks which tested their leadership and teamwork skills under time pressure. Oh yes – they also had fun!

The Grade 11 Tourism class took a trip out to the East London Airport to see the theory they had learnt in the classroom, in action. Thanks to Mr Riaan Johnston for his time and for sharing his expertise with the students.

Clarendon launches new websiteThe combined Clarendon Schools now have one website that encapsulates the dignity of the schools, their rich history and fine traditions. The site manages to portray this in a stylish and clean layout that has modern day appeal.

The new website marks massive change at the three schools. There is a growing appetite amongst Governing and parent bodies alike to keep Clarendon relevant and increase visibility of the brand.

Clarendon has an enviable reputation and continues to be the leading centre of excellence in academic and sporting codes. The High School currently boasts a 100% pass rate for 21 consecutive years.

This achievement would not be possible without strong foundations set at the Preparatory and Primary Schools and it is this growing sense of unity that is now emerging in tangible ways.

Careers Day

Grade 8 Outing

AV8 Helicopter LandserviceThe second annual Careers Day was held at Beaconhurst School on the 19th of March. The event was organised again this year after a very successful day was held in 2013. The informative event was well co-ordinated by teacher, Gary Galanos, with assistance from the Rotarians. The event was aimed at high school learners and offered them the opportunity to explore different occupations and to speak to representatives from tertiary education institutions. The learners were enthralled by the many high quality displays and also had the opportunity to chat to the exhibitors about the relevant occupations and institutions. The event grew this year to over 60 exhibitors, with learners from 25 different East London Schools in attendance. Exhibits were set up in the hall area of Beaconhurst Primary School and in most of the high school classrooms. Many occupations were included such as Travel agent, veterinarian, dietician, banker, IT analyst, etc. Some exciting things also happened outside, where AV8 pilots had landed their helicopter on the school field and mechanics had some mean machines on display. All in all it was a very successful day and we look forward to further growth of the event next year.

While Careers Day was occupying most of the school, the Beaconhurst Grade 8 learners had the opportunity to expand their Natural Science knowledge. They walked down from school to the beach for a day of exploration. The grade 8 learners spent the morning working on a project which involved observing the different life forms they managed to find on the beach, in the sea and rock pools. Armed with pens, notepads and cameras they had great fun identifying different sea creatures and documenting their findings as required for their project. A super day was had by all and they most certainly returned to school more knowledgeable and with excitement to complete their projects.

The members of the Land Service Club officially kick off the year with their annual Camp. This year the grade 7s joined the High School. A total of 32 learners left the school on Friday the 28th of February. The camp started off in Kei Mouth where the learners pitched tents and bonded with a little beach time. Some of the learners slept in the communal bathrooms and the busses because of a heavy rain that started early Friday night. Saturday morning the learners set out on a 16 km hike to Double Mouth where they spent some time learning about God and bonding through games. A group of the learners were having so much fun that they decided to sleep under the stars all night. Sunday morning they safely departed from Double Mouth and arrived at school full of spirit and tired.

The recently built High Performance Centre Complex at Hudson Park High School was officially opened on 20 March to commemorate the hard work and dedication of all involved in creating a showpiece and functional legacy that we will all be proud of for many years to come. The honoured guests, the contracting team and personnel involved with the building were treated to a Cheese and Wine function to celebrate the magnificent facilities consisting of a Water Polo Pool, Cross-Fit Gym and Fathers’/Supporters’ Club facility. During the construction, four additional classrooms were also built to ensure that the balance was kept within the four pillars of the school.

At our recent Junior Oratory Competition held in the Crewe Hall, the standard was high as the judges had to determine who the best speaker on the day was. Innovative, thought provoking and some-times funny messages came from the different contestants . At the same time, the Senior Competition was taking place in the Centenary Hall. The insight, wit and clever manipulation of language were most impressive and most entertaining.

Our Cheerleading squad started last year by the very capable Lindi Mtukayekwa and with the support of EXCO and Ms Acton. The squad initially faced many challenges, but after performances at the Derby Days against Dale and Cambridge last year, the girls’ professional attitude and well-choreographed displays and dress, made them an instant success with the supporters. Their motto is to support all sports at Hudson Park with both enthusiasm and Hudson Spirit, and this was most evident at the last game of the season, the FNB Classic Clash, against Cambridge. The

He has now won two qualifying legs in Cape Town and East London respectively and awaits final selection for the Youth Olympics taking place in August in China.

Friday 11 April and Saturday 12 April will see the Hudson hockey, netball and rugby teams take on Cambridge in the first Derby day for 2014 at Hudson Park. Our U14A coaches, Cline Jafta and Dave Alers, had to make some positional changes due to injuries after their tour to the Grey Festival during the holidays, but the injuries will not interfere with a team that is ready for Cambridge on Saturday. Considering the fact that Cambridge 1st XV won four out of four of their previous games this year compared to Hudson’s two out of five, we have to admit that Cambridge might be the favourite going into Saturday’s Derby event. Hudson Park rugby players, however, are known to play with heart and commitment as the school that plays with heart, no matter what the opposition might be.

Hudson Park High School has chosen Godspell as its musical production this year. Directed by multi-award-winning director, Pierre Perold, Godspell was written by Stephen Schwartz and is based on a novel by John-Michael Tebelak. The musical is composed of a series of parables, mostly based on the Gospel of Matthew. The parables are interspersed with a variety of modern music set primarily to lyrics from traditional hymns. The passion of Christ features briefly near the end of the performance. The show opened on Broadway in 1971, and was initially met with some reserve because of the musical’s interpretation and portrayal of Christ. Godspell has enjoyed many successful runs and revivals. In fact, if anything, Godspell is more relevant now than when it was first performed. It reiterates morals, beliefs and faith, which are severely lacking in our modern society.

App of the month

PushBullet

By no means is PushBullet new, but thanks to an update this month, the app is now one of the most powerful and useful apps you will ever install on both your phone and computer. For those new, PushBullet began as an incredibly useful app that would allow you to “push” links, files, or other goodies from your com-puter to phone and then back again. We have watched as the functionality for it has grown immensely over the last six or so months, but this month its creators added notification mirroring.

With notification mirroring, PushBullet will show a pop-up in your Chrome PC browser every time you get a notification from any app on your phone (assuming you enabled it). You can choose to dismiss it on phone, turn off mirroring from that app, or go on about your business. I don’t know about you, but the fact that I don’t have to pick-up my phone each time it buzzes, and can keep my eyes glued to my computer, plus wipe the notification from my phone, is freaking ground-breaking. Go install this.
