style

The biker is the only jacket you’ll never tire of and certainly won’t

part with it. Ever!

Babe in a biker jacket - who can forget Sandra Dee’s transformation from prissy prom queen to big-time punk princess in Grease?

Once upon a time, biker jackets were the territory of those hairy, tattooed blokes on Harleys - the ones you didn’t take home to meet the folks! Now the motor- cycle jacket has evolved into a fashion must. It’s an instant style boost with its unmistakable surfeit of zips, snaps, studs and hardware plus quilted patches in that boxy arrogant man-nish cut that simply goes with everything and suits everyone.

GO FOR PLEATHER.Yes, real genuine leather is the top prize but set your sights on pleather or leather–look as: a) it’s ethically better for your karma and b) it’s so much better on your pocket.

BAIE DANKIE CILLIÉ LEERDERS, JULLE IS ONGELOOFLIKVerlede jaar het ons leerders R58 000 ingesamel. Die uitdaging was dat mnr. Wilken vir ‘n hele skooldag op die dak sou sit. Dié jaar is ons leerders uitgedaag om R60 000 in te samel. Dan sou die skoolhoof sy snor (van 35 jaar) afskeer. Ons onderwysers het nie gedink dat die leerders hierdie mikpunt sou behaal nie, maar hulle verras ons toe en

samel R68 000 in! Die Gr8’s het die meeste geld ingesamel en hulle graadhoof besluit toe ook om sy hare af te skeer. Baie geluk aan Alessandro Schutte wat die groot prys, ‘n tablet, gewen het. Aan Zoe Zeelie vir die meeste boekies verkoop. Baie dankie aan elke persoon wat bygedra het tot hierdie ongelooflike poging.

LANDLOOPDie landloop het vanjaar afgeskop met die eerste been by Hoërskool Otto du Plessis.

Who will help me mix the dough and bake the muffins?We will, we will ! And so they did……..

They all helped to bake delicious muffins. What fun !!!

Waiting to mix the dough.

Future master chefs at work.Carefully into the muffin pan.

….and into the oven it goes.

What did we learn from all this ? 1.Work hard - The hen wasn’t afraid of hard work even if nobody else on the farm would help her2. Ignore naysayers – The other farm animals told the little red hen that she was crazy to work hard while they were lazing about and having fun.3. Fairness – The animals who didn’t share in the work didn’t earn any of the bread. 4. Rewards – Hard work pays great rewards in the end. The Little Red Hen had some delicious bread to eat and share with her family while the other animals had nothing.
