Thank you to everyone who submitted an entry to our very first competition. The entries are all very good and I'm not sure who I'm going to vote for myself yet! However, there can be only one winner (and one runner up) so get voting for your favourite lyrics. :(

 

Good luck everyone! xD

 

I'm going to post the lyrics in a couple of posts below, so that there isn't one massive great big post with them all in. :o

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

purplewednesday1

 

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!

 

Lorna

 

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.

Rea

 

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.

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!

Away with the fairies

No brain in my head

I've done too much studying

I'm off up to bed!

I've missed the dear Forum

and my friends on here

Let's make up a Quorum

and go for a beer?

 

My husband is brilliant

Of that there's no doubt

He's been so supportive

And he doesn't shout

When there's no more undies

or shirts to wear out

Only hope it's all worth it

Ready for the next bout?

 

My daughter does the cooking

My son does some too

They're becoming quite good at it

Maybe a chef or two?

Me, I'll do anything

So I don't have to cook

Maybe I've gone too far this time

Studying sure makes me crook!

 

Inge

 

Writing in rhyme

takes up lots of my time

I thought i would leave it

and not pen a line

but entries are few

and far in between

so thought I should help

and write on this theme

 

I already have a badge

and a FSF mug

thank you for both

i don't mean to sound smug

Please all have a go

and join in the fun

you too could be drinking

from an FSF mug

 

Christmas is close

and I know time is short

and while I have plenty

I know you have not

I wish you all well

at this chistmas time

enjoy all the fun

with lots of laughter and wine

 

Rosina

 

My son although 30, still lives at home

His father and I well, we don’t like to moan

Girlfriends he’s had many, but wont settle down

Hes frightened of churches and the bridal gown

 

My friends all have grandchildren and I have none

This great disappointment is due to my son

The word commitment he doesn’t understand

Any talk of grandchildren has been banned

 

We love him unconditionally and will till the end

Excepting one and all, each new lady friend

I will smile very nicely and offer cake and tea

While asking them the question Do they want a baby?

Oh Ofsted oh Ofsted

Oh what have you done?

You brought in S.E.F

Oh what jolly fun!!!

You all seem to like it

But oh how we hate

All we seem to get from it

Is head and hand ache

 

We worry, we write it

But oh what a chew

And how would you like it?

If we gave it to you !!

So Ofsted please Ofsted

Just let us be free

To play with the children

Then happier we d be !!!

Oh why do i have to,

get out of my bed?

My little sweet children,

jump onto my head.

They say they are hungry,

but im not awake.

My little sweet children,

want cornflakes and cake.

I get up quite slowly,

I ask them to wait.

My little sweet children,

just hold out their plates.

I love all my children,

but not when they say.

"Feed me, im hungry,

get up, come and play."

Bless all my little children,

e-ven if it is,

five in the morning,

and i want to sleep!

 

Peggy (As a moderator Peggy's not eligible to win but thought you'd like to read her lyrics again. :o )

 

Great entries so far,

it'll be hard to choose.

The lyrics are fun

and do really amuse.

 

This comp has gone national

not sure if you know

but it's on the 'Wright Stuff'

a day TV show.

 

They started on Monday

results are tomorrow

It's our competition,

who said they could borrow?

 

Away in a Manger

re-write your own styles

I bet ours are better

by feet and by miles

 

the winning entry on TV

by a group, will be sung

lets hope it doesn't

get to number 1

 

so who on the forum

wants to be in a choir?

and sing our winning entry

stood around the hearth fire.

 

I will watch Matthew Wright

and check there's no cheat

If I see blatant copyright

I'll have to delete.

It's winter at pre-school and we are outdoors.

The children are playing even though the rain pours.

The staff are all freezing, their lips turning blue

All wishing they were inside enjoying a brew.

 

"Come on!" says the leader "Lets all play a game.

We'll jump over puddles. Who cares about rain!"

Then one child falls over, gets soaked to the skin.

"I'll sort it!" grins the leader and rushes her in.

 

Now there are two adults left out in the rain.

The children don't bother- they play just the same.

The wind starts to howl, blowing leaves from the tree

And the children all chase them shrieking loudly with glee.

 

The adults join in and they soon feel quite hot,

No longer fed up and bemoaning their lot.

" Can we have some bubbles?" pipes up one bright voice.

"Of course" say the adults "We welcome your choice."

 

The machine that makes bubbles soon starts to perform

And bubbles galore soon drift o'er the lawn,

The rain - it is stopping and here comes the sun!

The children keep playing - we're ALL having FUN!
