Beau Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Sorry about the delay in announcing this months competition! I've had a very busy week/weekend and am only now able to draw breath. Peggy suggested some time ago that we have a limerick competition and we thought it would be a nice one for the end of the school year. Your limerick could be something to do with one of our members here on the forum, summing up your year implementing EYFS or a particular event/activity that you have done at your setting, generally just about children (runny noses, sticky fingers), exasperating parents, or your work place. Actually, let your imagination run wild and choose anything that takes your fancy! If you're not sure where to start, then read a few of Edward Lear's limericks to inspire you. When you have written your limerick just post it in this thread for our enjoyment! You can write as many as you like, but will only be able to choose one to be voted on at the end of the month. All limericks should be submitted by Sunday 26th July and voting will start on Monday 27th July till the end of the month. Good luck!

Cait Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 I'm sitting on the cooker and I'm trying to get warm with mugs of tea and jumpers this really ain't the norm I've shivered and I've shivered and I've shivered all day long and I've come to the conclusion that something must be wrong. I'm sitting in the freezer now I'm trying to get cool with bags of peas and chips and stuff I'm feeling such a fool I've sweated and I've sweated and I've sweated all the night and I've come to the conclusion that I'm gonna be all right with apologies that it's not a limerick - but I've got tonsillitis and feel right rubbish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
