1 Take the scenic routeDon’t hurry to your destination, no matter how excited you are to get there. There are so many extraordinary scenic routes to follow in South Africa and you should take advantage of them. There’s no point in going on a road trip if you’re not going to take the time to enjoy the drive. Open the windows and let the fresh air in as you enjoy the view from the open road. However remember not to go too far off the beaten path and if you do, rather hire a 4x4 than trek into the bush with a littly Noddy car.

2 Create a playlistMusic is essential to any road trip. Of course, it can’t just be any music – it has to be world class-road trip music. And don’t even think about playing album after album or one artist at a time. You’ve got to mix it up. Spend some time going through your music and put in the effort to create the perfect road trip playlist. There’s nothing quite like singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody as you cruise over a mountain pass. Use the the South African road trip playlist on the next page for inspiration to create your own playlist.

3 Stop along the wayDon’t be the driver that won’t stop the car unless it’s for an emergency. You’ll find the most spectacular hidden treasures while you’re exploring the open road. You don’t want to miss discovering something truly unique because you’re worrying about arriving on time or getting to your destination as soon as humanly possible. Take some time to explore – you won’t regret it.t.

4 Be prepared for disasterYou already know to fill up on petrol and have your oil and water checked, but there are other safety measures you should put in place. Keep a 5-litre bottle of water in your boot in case of a breakdown. It may seem silly or unnecessary, but imagine breaking down on a deserted road on the hottest day of the year. You should also get the numbers of towing services for wherever you’re going. And,

Top 10 Songs for your Easter Holiday road tripMake this Easter Holiday road trip legendary with an all-time great South African playlist. From the cosmopolitan vibe of Johannesburg to the stately beauty of the Free State crops, to the sandy shores of Cape Town, these iconic South African songs will delight your senses, inspire your imagination and awaken your adventurous spirit and elevate your trip to the next level!1. Johnny Cleg – Great Heart

Although Johnny Cleg was born a Brit, he is considered one of South Africa’s most celebrated musicians. His song Great Heart from the movie Jock of The Bushveld is just one of many of his songs that echoes within any South

African sport stadium and has managed to achieve anthem status with crowds in this country he now calls home.2. Toto – AfricaThe initial idea for this song came from the band’s vocalist David Paich. He explains the idea behind the song as “... a white boy who is trying to write a song about Africa, but since he’s never been there, he can only tell what he has seen on TV.“ We think he did a pretty good job imagining what Africa is like.3. Heuwels Fantasties – National Braai Day AnthemThe local Cape Town electronic rock band in conjunction with the Soweto Gospel Choir produced this song in 2009 to celebrate the country’s Heritage Day on 24 September. The song’s lyrics echo South Africans through their common social denominator, the braai!4. Freshly Ground – Do Be DooThe Capetonian Afro-fusion band is probably best known for their feature in the song Waka Waka by Colombian pop star Shakira that was the official song of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Do Be Doo was this band’s first hit single and includes a unique musical style that blends different elements of traditional South African music.5. Mondoza – NkalakathaThis Sowetan musician strives to give an inspirational message to kwaito. He uses his music as a way to encourage young South Africans to achieve their goals. In 2001, his song Nkalakatha won the Song Of The Year title at the South African Music Awards.6. Beatenberg – Feels Like Heaven

Although Beatenberg is a fresh new face in pop music from South Africa, they quickly received international recognition with their song Feels Like Heaven that is a remix favourite in clubs across the world.7. Miriam Makeba – ClickSongNicknamed as Mama Africa, this famous South African singer and civil

right activist has received a few Grammy Awards for her beautiful African melodies. This fantastic pick-me-up song celebrates her native tongue in all its glory.8. Jeremy Loops – SinnerJeremy Loops, a Cape Town loop-pedal artist, skilled in guitar, harmonica, beatbox, ukelele and banjo is also relatively new on the music scene but became a playlist favorite with his songs that perfectly capture the diversity of South Africa.9. Karen Zoid – Afrikaners Is PlesierigAfrikaners Is Plesierig is not only a favourite amongst those who speak Afrikaans, but you would even notice other native tongue speakers with heads banging to this spiced-up version of an old classic. The alternative Karin Zoid is known as South Africa’s queen of rock, as she so easily charms the crowds with her electric guitar.10. Mango Groove – Special StarMango Groove is an 11-member South African Afropop band whose music fuses marabi, kwela, and pop music. They have sold more than 700 000 albums in South Africa. This song was dedicated to Spokes Mashiyane, the king of kwela, but is sure to get any one up and grooving to its delightful beats.

The cover of this book is what really got my heart beating, my favourite colour turquoise and the absolute best fruit on earth, the wonderful pomegranate, such a beautiful fruit, filled with little ruby jewels. When I page through the pages of Mariana’s Country Kitchen, I feel something I can’t explain – almost emotional, reminding me of growing up in my parents’ kitchen and garden. I love this book – it is one of the most beautiful books I have seen in a very long time, I adore the recipes, love the styling and stories, Im just in love with this book!!!!!

In 2000, Mariana Esterhuizen and her husband said goodbye to city living and opened a restaurant in the village of Stanford. Since then Mariana’s has grown into one of the top eateries in South Africa, attracting foodies from all over. The average wait for a table is three months. The secret? Mariana serves food fresh from her own extensive vegetable, fruit and herb garden, prepared in her own unique way. Her delightful book includes recipes for the restaurant’s top dishes, along with vegetable dishes, classic dishes, and Mariana’s favourite childhood foods, courtesy of her mother.

10 Apps to make your kids love studyingWith the academic year in full swing, learners throughout the country are starting

to take stock of the academic mountain they need to climb in the months to come. In 2016, this mountain has become much easier to scale, thanks to some fantastic

applications developed to make the mastering of schoolwork and organising one’s life much easier.

Self Control for StudyHelps you focus on your studies by blocking certain social networks, which means your study time cannot be interrupted by quickly checking the status updates of your 2 570 Facebook friends. Basic telephone functions, such as phone calls and SMSes, remain available.

PagesCreates documents such as summaries, projects and speeches, with page layout functions such as a variety of fonts. You can insert diagrams and images and manipulate them on the page to make summaries, projects and speeches fun and easy to get under the knee.

Penultimate Turns the dreary creative and helps you craft drawings and diagrams by simulating handwriting. You can write, scribble and sketch on a page that is free of clutter and has all the essential tools to create inspiring work.

Dropbox and Google Drive Allows you to upload files to the Cloud so that you can easily retrieve them whenever you need them. They are also valuable backup resources, which means that ‘the dog ate my homework’ excuse is no longer necessary! (Downloading videos can be expensive because of data charges, so you might need to view such videos in libraries or other areas where free wi-fi is available.)

iTunes UProvides access to a myriad of courses from top higher education institutions across the world. Instructors can use this app to prepare lessons, collect and grade assignments from students, host one-on-one or group discussions, and annotate PDF assignments.

StudiousHelps you to keep all balls in the air. Use this app to store details about your next assessments, assignment due dates and timetable, including subject, time and location. The app reminds and alerts you in advance.

TEDAccess to talks from some of the world’s most fascinating and insightful people, from educators to music legends. It is a must-have app for learners serious about broadening their horizons.

WhatsAppA brilliant study tool that allows you to send unlimited images, video and audio messages to your WhatsApp study group. One good way of using the app, for instance, is to record a lesson and pass it on to your peers.

Article by education expert Wonga Ntshinga, Senior Head of Programme at the Faculty of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) at The Independent Institute of Education.

There are thousands of digital applications that can improve the study experience and lead to better results. These apps assist students and instructors to write assignments and notes, plan and complete lessons and projects, avoid distractions, and revise ahead of exams. Finding and evaluating apps could be a frustrating exercise, because there are so many. These are some recommended tried-and-tested apps to get you started to digitise your learning experience.

Surely a team should try and win each and every match played? While I would never suggest that a team ever try to deliberately lose a game, there are valuable lessons to be learned from the reaction of a team when it loses.

Firstly, teams should always try and win a match fairly through executing good technique and staying focused on individual and/or team goals rather than be aggressive or dirty. Winning competitions or doing drills well during practices leaves any player/athlete feeling confident about their ability, skill and decision making. These experiences prove that we are competent at the sport. Also, when we do something well, we get compliments from important people such as coaches, parents and friends. Experiencing competence and support from others are two key factors that help develop and maintain our motivation.

On the other hand, losing a match or failing to meet one’s performance goals usually results in a lot of unhappiness, frustration and even finger-pointing or blame. Some people

may either blame themselves or act out in frustration. Being aggressive when losing or in the next match won’t help, as there is no aim of improving your technique or adapting your strategy. Feeling ashamed about your performance or actions often results in a low effort in either training or the next pressured situation.

One of the central features of ‘mental toughness’ is the ability to ‘bounce back’ after a defeat. Experiencing a loss can help a team to become aware of their weaknesses and adapt their response to being placed under pressure. Teams or athletes that are ‘problem-focused’ can use the negative experience and information from a losing performance to fix mistakes that contributed to the loss. Both positive and negative responses to sport are valuable. Understanding how to make use of negative emotions following a defeat or poor performance can both improve one’s performance and influence our enjoyment, even when losing.

It may sound completely bonkers, but it has often been said that it is ‘valuable’ for a team to lose the occasional match during the course of a season. Sport psychologist

Greg Wilmot explores this thought ahead of rugby season coming up.

Mental toughness for sports teams

Consider these questions after losing a match, or to evaluate a disappointing performance:

PlanningHow can I improve or adapt?How does losing affect my approach to training this week?Are there new resources I can use to develop my skills?

Gathering informationWhat mistakes did I make?What techniques or strategies were either effective or ineffective?

Developing new skills to improveDo I need to practise my current skills more?What new techniques can I learn to ensure a good quality performance? Good quality training will improve my performance under pressure.

6 HEALTH

7 HEALTH & WELLBEING

Incorporating the right kinds of starchy foods into your diet is consistent with consuming fewer calories and, as a result, achieving sustainable weight loss. In fact, the vitamins and minerals as well as filling fibre found in carbohydrates might just be the answer to staving off energy dips and unnecessary snacking, staying alert during the school or work day, and maintaining a healthy weight.

Leading nutritional experts suggest it’s the excessive consumption of refined, fatty carbohydrates like chips and oily crackers that are more likely to contribute towards weight gain. The right kinds of carbohydrates, however, can actually assist in keeping off the extra kilos, by increasing the resting metabolic rate (RMR) of the body, which in turn burns more calories.

Good carbohydrates are also affordable, versatile and easy to prepare. If you’d like to introduce more wholesome carbohydrates into your meals while following a healthy eating plan, here’s a round-up of the top five carbohydrates for weight loss:

Wholewheat pasta This versatile ingredient is high in fibre for digestive health. It’s bulkier than white pasta, which makes it super filling, so you don’t have to eat as much and you’ll stay fuller for longer after eating. This means you won’t snack in-between meals. One serving (one cup) also has around 23% of your required daily fibre intake and 16% of the required daily protein intake.

Low GI and low GL breadWith our fast-paced, high-energy lifestyles, there’s a reason bread is the go-to carbohydrate of choice – it’s nutritious, requires little preparation and is quick to eat. Choose loaves that have low GI for slow-release energy and low GL for low impact on blood sugar levels. Also opt for bread that’s high in fibre for digestive health, like low GI brown bread, low GI crushed wheat brown bread or low GI white bread.

Sweet potatoesThese little gems have quickly risen to superfood status and for good reason. They’re a great source of vitamin B, vitamin C and fibre. They’re also linked to boosted collagen production, which helps fight the signs of aging.

Brown riceA healthier version, brown rice still has the hull and bran on each rice grain, giving it more fibre. It’s rich in magnesium and potassium, and keeps blood sugar levels stable. Brown rice has also been linked to a reduction in weight carried around the middle of the body, because it’s low in calories, but has a high fibre and water content.

BarleyThis ancient grain is very low in calories, and contains fibre and amino acids that help boost weight loss. Barley is super affordable and a great way to bulk up soups and stews (and increase their fibre content).

Amidst the proliferation of food fads and eating plans that rose to popularity in the past year, it’s hard to tell

what’s up and what’s down. One food group that got an unfairly bad rap in 2015 and deserves a second chance?

Carbohydrates.

Did good carbs get a bad rap?

Article by Lynne Arbuckle, principal of Riverside College Primary School.

Stay calm and carry onAct preemptively – take a minute to talk to or cuddle your child as they wake up – this may prevent attention-seeking tactics that delay the process later. Similarly,

try to remain calm – the more flustered and anxious you are, the more likely your child is to slow down. There will be days when your child is dreading going to school. Show sensitivity to this and you will find that things run more smoothly.

Appoint a rotating DirectorIf you have more than one child, rotate the position of morning Director – this person is responsible for making sure everybody gets what needs doing done. Incentives can include picking the music for that morning’s drive. If your children are learning to tell the time, incorporate this into the routine, get them to note increments of ten or fifteen minutes.

Lay it out like crime sceneSet out clean clothes, bags and books the night before in a designated spot near the door. Involve your children in packing everything they need the night before, teaching them to be aware of what’s required to fully participate in class and school activities. If your child leans towards forgetfulness, charts and to-do lists can help them learn to keep track of their belongings and responsibilities.

Be an enablerStock up on wholesome, easy-to-make breakfast foods and keep them in accessible places so that children can help themselves. They will practise independence and free up your time. School-age children can stack their dishes in the sink or dishwasher, so make each one responsible for their own mess. It can be the Director’s duty to check that everybody is pulling their weight.

Tips for streamlining the morning rush

School run – avoid the morning rush

One thing all parents with school-age children can relate to is the challenge of getting

them up, fed and off to school in the morning. As the term ticks along, routine

gets more lax and getting out of bed becomes less and less appealing. To avoid the daily

chaos, put some structure in place – sooner rather than later.

An on-time and organised child experiences less anxiety and stress during the school day. Parents can also avoid additional trips to school and rushed apologies to teachers if they work together with their children to develop a morning routine. Each family has a unique morning routine. As your child’s workload and schedule

expands, the skill of creating and sticking to a routine will aid their learning and independence.

Hulle het vir ‘n week lank (8–12 Februarie) die projek van WSSA (Water Shortage South Africa) ondersteun en leerders moes water skool toe bring om dan weer verder te versprei.

Die mikpunt was om gedurende die vyf dae 5 000ℓ water te probeer insamel - 1 000ℓ/dag! Dit het aanvanklik geklink na baie water vir ‘n skool met net meer as 300 leerders, maar die reaksie was verstommend! Die mikpunt is binne drie dae bereik, en uiteindelik is daar altesaam 8 992ℓ water ingesamel!

Die personeel het belowe dat hulle almal met hulle klere aan in die skool se swembad sou spring indien die mikpunt bereik sou word! Hulle het dus hulle belofte nagekom en het op Vrydag om 12:00 almal saam in die swembad gespring! Daar is ook ‘n groot koek geskenk vir die klas wat die meeste water ingesamel het, en dit is uiteindelik gewen deur een van die Graad R-klasse, met meer as 2 000 ℓ!

‘n Ouer by die skool, mev. Annaline Mouton, het ‘n vragmotor gereël wat al die water Vrydag by die skool kom oplaai het en na Lady Grey vervoer het. Die leerders het baie ywerig gehelp om al die bottels water vanaf die saal tot by die vragmotor te dra! Dit was ‘n heerlike, opwindende projek wat almal by die skool met entoesiasme laat saamwerk het! Hopelik kan dit help om die droogte vir die inwoners van Lady Grey ‘n bietjie te verlig.

Klein skool met groot hartOp 15 Februarie is Internasionale Kankerdag vir Kinders gevier en Nahoon was deel van die veldtog. Die leerders kon met gewone klere skool toe kom indien hulle ‘n donasie skenk aan CHOC. Personeel en leerders het op die netbalbaan bymekaargekom en ‘n groot hart gevorm. Daarna is ‘n minuut stilte gehou en ons het vir kinders met kanker gebid. Die leerders kon toe die harte wat hulle in die klas gemaak het, aan ‘n boom hang. Wat ‘n wonder-like voorreg om te kon deelneem aan hierdie projek.

The activities were indeed very sticky, wet and muddy. From lifting tyres, to carrying kayaks, to sliding on wet surfaces to blind folded potato races. No wonder they were so tired when they returned that late afternoon.
