Op 12 Oktober om 09:00, het Pro Arte Alphen Park die groot vooreg gehad om deel van ‘n Franse dokumentêre verfilming deur TV5 Monde, ‘n Franse internasionale televisiekanaal te wees. Die Franse Instituut van Suid-Afrika (IFA), in samewerking met die Franse Ambassade in Suid-Afrika, die Fondation RATP en Biblionef het onlangs meer as 140 boeke aan die Pro Arte Alphen Park biblioteek geskenk. Dit vorm deel van hul skenking van 4000 boeke aan 40 skole in Gauteng. Pro Arte Alphen Park is baie trots om die skool te wees wat

gekies is vir hierdie dokumentêre program. Frans is ‘n verpligte vak vir Graad 8 en 9, en is ‘n keusevak vir Graad 10 tot Graad 12, ondersteunend tot sommige van Pro Arte Alphen Park se interessante fokusareas, soos Kuns, Dans, Musiek en Gasvryheidstudies. As deel van die dokumentêre program, sal drie van ons Graad 11-leerders resepte uit sommige van die Franse resepteboeke kook. Die program sal begin met met die verpakking van die boeke in Frankryk, en die doel hiervan is om te wys hoe hierdie boeke uiteindelik in skole regoor die

wêreld gebruik word. Op 13 Oktober van 14:30-16:00, bied die bekroonde Franse Chef Yoric Tièche van Reunion-eiland ‘n watertand smaak-werkswinkel in Pro Arte Alphen Park se Andante Restaurant aan. Die IFA-kultuur is die kulturele afdeling van die Franse Ambassade in Suid-Afrika wat jaarliks kunsgeleenthede in kontemporêre dans, teater, poppespel, en modevertonings, musiek, DJ aande,kontemporêre kunsuitstallings, teater en letterkunde, kos en gastronomie deur die jaar en regoor Suid-Afrika ondersteun.

OCTOBER IS NATIONAL FAMILY HEALTH MONTH!

Our health is important to us so we need to better take care of ourselves and our family.

WITH SUMMER IN FULL SWING THERE IS NO BETTER TIME TO EXFOLIATE YOUR SKIN...

We can start with eating healthier and having healthy eating options for our family. This can be done by eating five fruits and vegetables each day whether that be fresh, frozen or canned. Instead of having sugarydrinks, sodas, and sugary juices switch to low fat diary products and opt out to have healthy snacks instead of junk food. It’s also important to give the proper portions of food to to our children and ourselves. Cut down on the fats, get lean meats and poultry, and eat together as a family. We need to start early with our children, we can do this by involving them in the process, being a good role model for them, and having the right foods and snacks available for them.

The best way to do portions for children and us is to use a divided plate. The plate should be divided into four parts the first top half should be protein and then whole grain pastas, then the rest should be for fruit and veggies.We can keep our families healthy with exercise, preventive care, being attuned to our bodies, avoid smoking and smoking around children.

Adults from the age of 18-64 need

to exercise 2 and half hours a week with aerobic exercises and 10 minutes at time as a minimum, but it’s best to do 5 hours a week of moderate aerobic exercise.

For children 6-17 years of age they need up to 60 minutes a day of physical activity. Children should try to incorporate exercise that help strengthen bones and muscles.

Children 2 to 5 years of age don’t really have a recommended amount of time but, it’s safe to say that they should play actively as well. 9 ways you can exercise as a family:1. Go for a pre or post dinner walks2. Make a game out of chores3. Turn commercial breaking into fitness breaks4. Dance to music5. Walk the dog together6. Have the kids work in the yard with you7. Garden together8. Have a weekly sports night9. Do a charity run or walk

Start today and get your families health on track this month!

BANANA SUGAR BODY SCRUBWhen the bananas are starting to brown, grab those beauties and put them to use. This one skips the oil and relies purely on the benefit of banana and the gently abrasive sugar.• 1 ripe banana• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar• ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional)

Smash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky goop. Don’t over-mash or it will become too thin. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar. In the shower, pat the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water.

VANILLA COCONUT BROWN SUGAR SCRUBCoconut oil is subtly fragrant and slightly miraculous. This one is a super moisturizer, and can practically double as dessert.• 1/2 cup coconut oil• 1/2 cup brown sugar• 1/2 teaspoon vanillaMix ingredients together. Rub on skin while in the shower, massage, and rinse.

The best way to maintain healthy looking, glowing skin is to use a body scrub. We have created a list of ten body scrubs you can make at home. Not only do you get the benefit of saving money, but they are all natural which means NO chemicals. Don’t forget to apply moisturiser or body butter after using any kind of scrub.

Use your homemade sugar scrub to slough away dead skin and moisturize. Just scoop out a generous amount in the shower, and massage into your

skin where you need it: knees, elbows, bottoms of feet, etc.

DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL 23 OCTOBER 2015

Upset about moving from a big city to a small town, teenager Zach Cooper (Dylan Minnette) finds a silver lining when he meets the beautiful girl, Hannah (Odeya Rush), living right next door, and makes a quick friend in Champ (Ryan Lee). But every silver lining has a cloud, and Zach’s comes when he learns that Hannah’s mysterious dad is in fact R.L. Stine (Jack Black), the author of the bestselling Goosebumps series. As Zach starts learning about the strange family next door, he soon discovers that Stine holds a dangerous secret: the creatures that his stories made famous are real, and Stine protects his readers by keeping them locked up in their books. In a crazy night of adventure, it’s up to Zach, Hannah, Champ, and Stine to team up and get all of these figments of Stine’s imagination – including Slappy the Dummy, the girl with the haunted mask, the gnomes and many more – back in the books where they belong to save the town.

Sesame-seared tuna with a Sweet and Sour TwistServes 4The tuna needs to be fresh and deep red – and I mean really fresh. INGREDIENTS:• A little oil for searing• 1 tbls, fresh ginger, grated• 2 cloves garlic, crushed• 2 spring onions with tops very finely chopped• 1 tsp sesame oil• 1 tbls soy sauce• ¾ cup Wellingtons Sweet and Sour Sauce • 4 thick slices of raw tuna• 2 tsp sesame seeds, toasted METHOD:Mix all the ingredients together, except the tuna and sesame seeds.

Lay the tuna in the marinade for 15 minutes, turning once.

Remove the tuna from the marinade and set aside.

Oil a grill pan lightly and sear the tuna on both sides – don’t take it beyond medium, it is better served rare.

Heat the leftover marinade in a small saucepan and drizzle over tuna. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with sticky rice and stir-fried vegetables.

OCTOBER IN THE GARDENGardening is all about dreaming and seeing pictures in your mind, and then having the patience and energy to turn it into reality. If you dreamt, saw, and did it, the reality will be right in front of your eyes in a glorious October garden.

7 HOT GARDEN TIPS:1. Do not mow your lawn for a week prior and a week after spraying it with herbicides. This might irritate you, but it will give the herbicide the best chance to deal with the abundance of pesky weeds which sprouted during winter.

2. Start mulching your garden, leaving no bare earth uncovered – this will help the garden cope with high temperatures and hot summer winds to come. Watch out for red spider mite on roses, fuchsias and Azaleas.

3. Now that waterblommetjies are starting to go dormant in ponds, try something grassy around the edge and in the water. Go for tufty Juncus effusus, a perennial grass- or reed-like plant

which loves growing in streambeds and marshes.

4. For colour all summer, plant pelargoniums! These beauties like plenty of light, well drained soil, water when the soil feels dry and good air circulation. Feed them every two weeks with a water soluble fertiliser – they are very tough, but very hungry plants!

5. Spray your apple and pear trees towards the end of the month for coddling moth. Keep on watering citrus trees regularly and deeply.

6. Cucumbers are quick growers and ready for harvesting in only 2 months. They can be planted in the garden or in pots as they grow upwards and do not take up much space. Ensure that soil is well composted and kept moist.

7. Fine Mediterranean herbs to grow are Rosmarinus ‘Tuscan Blue’ with its lovely sky blue flowers and long stems (which can be used as fragrant skewers for sosaties), Santolina chamaecyparissus (cotton lavender) with aromatic, lemony smelling, grey foliage and mustard yellow pompom flowers.
