United against the Pandemic, Persevere in Serving Our Members

Experts expect the usage of masks, frequent hand washing, and social distancing to be necessary for a while as the pandemic continues to be a threat.

Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Professional Teachers’ Union (PTU) Andrew Shum Wai-Nam said the PTU has been sourcing supplies while following up with the suspension of class, the arrangement of the Hong Kong Diploma of Secondary Education (HKDSE) Examination, and white terror faced by teachers. In face of all the challenges, Shum emphasises it is all part of the PTU’s responsibility as a labour union of teachers and that the PTU will persevere in its endeavour to strive for the education sector’s rights as well as to serve its members.

疫情下的家居運動

生活健康 ■ 教協駐診物理治療師 黃碧君

新冠肺炎來勢洶洶,疫情影響下,相信不少人已減少外出或在家工作。同事笑說:「腰骨都因長時間坐著而痛!」 雖然康體設施場地關閉,大家仍然可以在家中做些伸展和化肌肉運動,來減少痛症,掃走被「困」在家的鬱悶心情。

整天坐使用電腦工作或「煲劇」,又或者正如我因為疫情而多做了家務和煮食,會令頸部、腰背肌肉變得繃緊酸痛,甚至導致四肢麻痹。適當的伸展運動能減低肌肉緊張,改善姿勢。

伸展運動

以下的伸展運動,每個動作維持15秒,重複4 至6次:

1)頸部、上背肩胛肌肉

頭部向下,雙手伸直擺在胸前微微往下,然後盡量往前伸展

2) 上斜方肌(肩頸)肌肉
右手放在背後,頭部向左和前側,左手放在頭部往下輕按,直至右頸側有牽拉感。完成一組動作(4至6次)後,轉換方向,伸展左邊肩頸肌肉
3)下背腰部肌肉
雙膝跪坐在床或地蓆上,頭部放鬆,雙手伸直儘量往前伸展

頸、腰椎鬆弛運動

以下運動,每個動作維持5至10秒,重複6至10次:

1)雙手互扣放在頸後,頭頸和上背慢慢向後伸延
2)俯,雙手放在兩旁,然後慢慢伸直起,腰背同時往上伸延

背部肌肉訓練運動

此外也可利用家中的物品,例如水樽、罐頭等做些簡單的背部肌肉訓練運動,改善姿勢。
以下的每個運動每組十次,重複2至3組:

1)手持物品,雙手向上高舉伸直,然後慢慢往下移動,手肘同時屈曲,盡量收緊肩胛肌肉
2)手持物品,手肘成90度並緊貼身旁,雙手向外移動,盡量收緊肩胛肌肉

以上運動當進行時若有不適,便應該停止,並徵詢醫生或物理治療師的意見。

朱古力果仁意式脆餅

教協煮場  ■ Giselle Yip

意式脆餅的意大利文是「biscotti」,bis有二度的意思,代表這款餅乾需要入爐焗兩次,因此餅乾香脆。意式脆餅在製作中只加入少量油糖,筆者的食譜更選用了全麥麵粉,較其他高糖高油的餅乾要健康得多,十分適合注重健康的人士。在意大利,當地人喜歡先把脆餅泡在咖啡內再食用,大家身在家中也可一試意式傳統!

人生角色的反思

創新手記 ■ 第三屆「賽馬會教師創新加量」夥伴
嘉諾撒培德書院 鍾詠怡老師

這段時間,恆常教學工作停頓了,日常作息步伐放緩,卻換來了可貴的閱讀時光。今天讀畢前美國第一夫人蜜雪兒.歐巴馬的自傳《成為這樣的我》,心裡各種思緒翻滾,久未止息。

從中,我看到蜜雪兒盡力活現各個身份角色的可能性。雖遇挫敗及多次自我懷疑,但其信念讓她成就了今天的她。Becoming —每個人都可成為「這樣的」自己。 …… 閱讀全文
