Fantastic Fsf December Competition!


AnonyMouse_64

Recommended Posts

Would you like a chance to win a wonderful Fsf mug or badge? :wacko: Well, it might be your lucky month! This is the first of our new monthly competitions where you will have the opportunity of winning a mug (1st prize) or a badge (Runners up prize). :(

 

So get your creative heads in gear, because you’re going to need them this month.

 

We all know the Christmas song, Away in a Manger. However, we would like you to come up with your own lyrics to the tune for our December competition. The content can be anything of your choosing as long as it can be sung to the tune!

 

As a very bad example :o (please forgive me but I have literally made this up in the last 30 minutes!!)

 

Calling all members to join in the fun,

Can you come up with lyrics, do you know a good pun?

We’re asking you nicely to write it all down,

This is your chance to really go to town.

 

The subject is your choice, it can be anything,

From working in childcare to frantic shopping,

Your lyrics can be heartfelt, the sentiment plain,

You can make it quite funny or completely insane.

 

Once it is written post your entries right here,

For your last chance to win for the rest of the year,

So get your brain working, for a fine mug awaits,

Be the envy of all of your forum mates!

 

 

Rules:

1. Only one entry per member is allowed

2. Moderators can join in with the fun and post lyrics but are not eligible to win

3. Closing date for entries will be Monday 15th December

4. If there are lots of entries the Moderators/Admin team will pick a short list of entries after this date

5. A poll will be posted where members will be able to vote for their favourite entries (from those short listed if necessary)

6. The winner will be the person receiving the most votes on the poll when it closes (and will win a mug - yay!), with the person receiving the second most votes being awarded the runners up prize of a badge :(

7. Please keep it clean/inoffensive and only post lyrics you have written yourselves xD

8. Any complaints can be sent to Steve and any praise to me! :(

9. The rules may change at any time as or when I think of something I haven’t already covered xD

Love rules 8 & 9 :o

 

I think you've set a good standard to follow with your verse Beau, well done.

 

Good 'festive' luck to all entrants, I shall get my thinking cap on, and just know I will most probably be singing the 'Away in the Manger' tune, with various lyrics, in my sleep.

 

 

Peggy

 

Note to self; place dictaphone on bedside cabinet for those 'twilight', mind in overdrive, keep you awake moments, so I can record my creative thoughts before I forget them, come morning time. xD

i'm so glad i'm a teacher,

i have lots of fun each day.

The children are great fun

and love to play

we all work together, to get our work done

and at the end of the day we go home to our mum.

 

i miss all of the children

when i am off ill

but i know when im better they'll be there still

we all care for each other

and help to make each day

just as special as the day before

so that we all stay.

Away in a manger – the owners carol

 

Away in my nursery, it’s been a bad day

The student phoned in sick and it’s invoices today

I’ve sat in my office, the phone it rings on

The children are practising lots of Christmas song (s)

 

My manager is stressing, not enough staff at work

Too many children and a flu bug won’t shirk

We’ve had somebody move away to work in the snow

The rest of us wonder if we all should go

 

However ...

 

At Nursery it’s Christmas and glitter fest’s here

Despite all our problems it’s a great time of year

The excitement of the children and the efforts of staff

Making baubles and cards with some tinsel and stuff

 

We love it at Nursery wouldn’t miss it at all

The children can’t wait for Santa to call

We sing all the songs and make the cards for the mums

We create the anticipation for when the big day comes!

 

Be near me my manager

I want you to stay

Close by me forever and help me I pray

Bless all the dear children in our tender care

And fit them for big school who knows wherever where!

 

 

 

 

NOT PART OF THE SONG...

 

This is the real song of a real owner and all the things th have been mentioned really have happened today!

Right- Hears my attempt at the challenge.... :o

 

 

Another year has past,

And what changes we have made.

With the new EYFS,

Is it here to stay?

 

We are all tired practitioners,

With one thing to say.

Please stop changing things,

We like it this way.

 

The nativity play’s finished,

The parents applaud.

The crafts have been garnished,

With glitter galore.

 

The children are tired,

So hard have they worked.

In playing and learning,

New skills they’ll take far.

 

We’re all ready for the holidays,

To spend with loved ones.

And come back in the New Year,

To have lots of fun.

Here's my effort....

 

 

Away for the new year

At Burnham on sea

Loads of friends will be with us

What a lark it will be.

 

We went there too last year

And had lots of fun

Got silly while drinking

And now the troubles begun

 

I spied an open window

And played a daft prank

At the time it was funny

But now I want the time back.

 

I found out last week

That plans are afoot

To get me back royally

I could end bald as a coot.

 

The avenger is known

As a prankster of fame

I am nervously waiting

But theres just me to blame.

 

So drink and be merry

As you see in‘09

And spare a thought for poor Rea

‘Cos its big pay back time.

 

xD:o

Just desserts and with a cherry on the top, but I knew what I was doing so I must take it like a man.

 

Dont know Sue, I do lots of silly things. In a nutshell... I put a chicken carcass on someones car and woke in the morning to a scene from Alfred Hitchcock. The car was left to travel home covered in grease and bits of chicken. In my defence Rum got the better of me and it was all I could do that wouldnt impact on his daughter and wife sleeping in the caravan too.

 

I have a plan for this year too. A massive roll of cling film to wrap his car in. It'll keep the birds off!

 

PS Yes to meeting up again

Very good entries so far...I am really bad at such things so may have to pass on this one. However, you never know I may have a twilight moment and come up with something at some point!

My entry is twice as long as everyone else's because I'm writing for two! :o

 

Maz (both Happy and Little!)

 

I really love the Forum, I look in every day

Otherwise I’d miss out on having my say!

We started out as strangers, now you’re all my best mates

Since we’ve shared our good fortunes and all our pet hates!

 

So Beau if you’re reading can you please move this post?

Could Peggy write a sentence of ten words at most?

Remind me please Nichola: when can you retire?

Cait won’t you accept my ma-in-law’s the most dire?

 

I must mention hali – she’s our own smiley queen

Marion has more weblinks than you’ve ever seen!

Geraldine’s mug is first class – won after five hours of toil

Mundia’s questions were as hard as frozen wintry soil!

 

Narnia loves Marillion (or obsessed it would seem)

And Wolfie spends her free time supporting her team

I’m running out of verses: I’ve added a few

So if your name isn’t mentioned please, please don’t be blue

 

You’re all very special – in your own different ways

Helping each other through the EYFS maze

So Bezza if you’re listening – will you please just take heed?

Don’t make an early years Balls up – give us what we all need.

 

More funding, higher status more time to ‘just’ play

And a statutory right to the Forum each day!

Bless all the forum members: especially my chums in chat

‘Til next we sit together on our virtual welcome mat!
