Sofianos is all a-twirl in fringes. Wild West meets

Boho Babe.

Fringes are fantastic! They add instant heat

to any look and fringed accessories transform a plain T and jeans into a style statement with

just one swish.

FRINGE FACTSDid you know? Fringes originated from the Native American tribes who created garments with fringes to repel rainwater from soaking them as they rode across the prairies. Then in 1920 the Flapper Era made fringes an fashion icon with those famous fringed dance dresses. Finally the hippie era snapped up this fabulous fringe craze and made it their own. Now you can have fun with fringes!

The latest look for spring is inspired by those magnificent mega music festivals that shook the

Seventies, so get out there and rock some fringes. Check out living life on the fringe in everything from swishy kimono jackets dripping in flighty fringes to high-flying fringed bags and fabulous fringed boots

and sandals.

oumas besoek en het ook vir mekaar gelees. Graad 2 het besoekers ontvang en het by die ouetehuis, aftree-oor en by Laerskool Kabega gaan lees. Graad 3 het die biblioteek besoek en besoekers ontvang. Aai, dit was nou sommer baie pret!!

A single blood donation can equal three gifts of life, as nearly every blood donation is separated into red blood cells, plasma and platelets.

The majority of transfusions are given to: Women who hemorrhage as a complication of pregnancy;Children with severe anemia; Accident victims; and surgical and cancer patients.By donating blood you make a difference.

WHY IS THERE SUCH A DEMAND FOR DONOR BLOOD? The huge number of traffic accidents over the holidays creates a high demand for donor blood. Right? Wrong. the interesting thing is that traffic accidents have little impact on the demand for donor blood. While there is only a slight increase in demand for donor blood over holidays, there is also a corresponding decrease in elective surgery during these times. So the demand for donated blood remains pretty steady all-year round. Blood usage in South Africa is more or less at a plateau, but slight increases are visible as the population increases.

WHO CAN DONATE BLOOD?Anyone who is over 17, weighs at least 50 kilograms and who has not donated blood in the preceding 56 days, who is healthy, not anemic, not on certain types of medication, or whose social behavior does not place them at an increased risk of transmitting the HI-virus or a hepatitis virus. People who have recently travelled to malaria areas are usually also excluded.

THE DONATION PROCESS Donating blood is a safe and simple procedure that takes about 30 minutes. All needles are new, sterile, used only once and incinerated after use.But many people are still uncertain as to exactly what happens when you donate blood. This is how the actual donation process works:• You will complete a donor questionnaire that

includes your personal details;• You will answer questions regarding your

health and social behavior;• You will undergo a one-on-one interview with a staff

member following the questions you answered on the donor questionnaire;

• Your iron (hemoglobin) level will be checked and your blood pressure and pulse rate will be taken;

• During the donation process you will donate one unit of blood (480ml), which your body will quickly replace; and

• You will receive refreshments to aid in replacing lost fluid.

• After donating, eat well and increase your fluid intake for the next four to six hours.

• Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Also avoid strenuous physical exertion and lifting heavy objects with the arm used for making the donation for at least two hours afterwards.

WHERE YOU CAN DONATE BLOOD You’ve decided you want to donate blood, but you don’t know where to go. The South African National Blood Service can be contacted at www.sanbs.org.za or by phoning the toll free number 0800 11 9031 for a list of locations in your area.

SIX TOP EXCUSES FOR NOT DONATING BLOODHere are the top six excuses people give for not being a blood donor.• I am afraid of the needle. This is quite

understandable, but after you make that first donation, you will wonder why you ever hesitated.

• Other people are giving enough blood. Unfortunately, less than one percent of the population give blood, which means that the majority of South Africans do not donate and there is always a need to recruit donors.

• My blood isn’t the right type. Regular donations of all blood types are needed.

• I had an illness. Discuss this with the trained clinic staff who will give you the right advice.

• I don’t have enough

blood to spare.; The average

adult body contains approximately five litres of blood and a donation is only 480ml.

• It will hurt and I will faint. A slight pinch on the inside of your arm is all that you will feel and if you have had something substantial to eat in the four hours prior to donating, you should be fine.

TOP 10 BLOOD FACTS You hardly ever see your blood, yet it is the very thing that keeps you going. Here are some interesting facts on blood: The average adult man has about five to six litres of blood in his body, while the average woman has about four. Your blood makes up about 7% of your total body weight. About 95% of the body’s blood cells are made in bone marrow.There are approximately 1 billion red blood cells in two to three drops of blood. There are three types of blood cells: Red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets, all of which float around in plasma. The blood that you donate can be separated into these constituent parts.Your body usually replaces the volume of the blood you donate within 24 hours. Restoring red blood cell levels to normal can take up to two months though.Whole blood has a shelf-life of 35 days. Red blood cells last 42 days, platelets only five days and plasma up to one year.The most common blood type is O positive, while AB negative is the rarest. People with AB blood can receive any kind of blood from a donor, while O negative blood can be given to anyone.Scientists recently managed to change type A and B blood into type O. If this process can one day be done on a large scale, it would go a long way to alleviating the persistent shortage of blood. If you are healthy, you will be eligible to donate blood up to 330 times in your life.

Safe blood saves lives. Every day thousands of people would die if others did not donate their blood. By donating blood, you are

giving a patient something money cannot buy.

GYMNASTICSWe are proud of Lenita Kotze, a Grade 6 pupil at our school! Lenita participated in the Eastern Cape Gymnastics Trials during the months of June and August this year. She achieved four gold medals at each round of EP trials and full EP Colours for Artistic Gymnastics, Tumbling, Trampoline and Double-Mini trampoline. We wish her well at the SA National Gymnastics in October 2015.

ECO CLUB ADOPT PENGUINSOur Eco Club pupils adopted two penguins this month!! Festivas, an African Penguin was found stranded on Van Stadens Beach in December 2013. Festivas is the first penguin in the world to test a new system of tracking. A”pinger” was attached to his chest when he was released, but unfortunately due to an injured leg

and annual moulting, he headed straight back to SAMREC where he is still cared for. De Souza was found at Hobie Beach in January 2014. He had a serious cut on his back caused by a speedboat and unfortunately his feathers have not grown back in that area and he now resides at SAMREC.

LEERDERRAADSKAMPOp 28 Augustus 2015 het 43 leerders en 3 onderwysers na die UBU-Adventures kampterrein by Elandsrivier vertrek. Die doel van die kamp was om die leerders meer oor leierskap en leierseienskappe te leer. Daar was verskillende aktiwiteite wat elke keer ‘n sekere eienskap van leiers aangespreek het. Behalwe die fisieke uitdagings wat die

leerders moes deurmaak, was daar ook die ongerief om vir twee dae sonder elektrisiteit en selfoonsein te wees. Die leerders (en onderwysers) het die kamp baie geniet en beslis baie geleer! Ons bedank die UBU-Adventures vir ‘n suksesvolle en onvergeetlike naweek.
