SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Dear all I am sure some of you like me will not be in this evening and I didn't want anyone to miss out on the chance of winning some FSF goodies so my quiz can be downloaded and done over the weekend. So what's it all about; just a bit of general knowledge fun, well maybe not so general knowledge but findable fun for you to do over the CIN weekend. For those of you who didn’t know FSF HQ is based in Lewes, East Sussex and so there may be the odd question about our home town and a lovely place it is too! The prizes up for grabs are books and FSF goodies; 1. FSF mug & Pen and Promoting Children's Well-being in the Primary Years (Right from the Start) by Andrew Burrell and Jeni Riley 2. FSF Pad & Pen and Understanding Early Years Policy by Peter Baldock, Mr Damien Fitzgerald, and Janet Kay 3. FSF Pen and Supporting ICT in the Early Years (Supporting Early Learning) by John Siraj-Blatchford and David Whitebread If you could type your answers in the space provided on the sheet and then email them to sue@eyfs.info by 5pm Monday 21st November I will get them marked and then announce the winners early next week. Usual FSF Quiz Rules apply: 1. Only one entry per member is allowed 2. Moderators can join in with the fun and answer questions but are not eligible to win 3. Closing date for entries will be 5pm Monday 21st November 4. The winner will be the person who has answered the most questions correctly 5. The correct answers are my answers and correct to the best of my knowledge and abilities and therefore indisputable 6. In the event of a tie for first place, these names will be drawn at random to determine the winner 7. Any complaints can be sent to Steve and any praise to me! 8. The rules may change at any time as or when I think of something I haven’t already covered. I do have a few extra FSF pens laying around so I may award the odd spot prize for any answers that I think are particularly clever or daft Have fun with it Sue x Quiz_questions_CHILDREN_IN_NEED_2011___Copy.doc
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Ohhh lots of downloads Hope you enjoy it.....tricky writing a quiz, you never know how devious to be and how hard to make the questions but on the other hand not too easy. I hope I have got a mixture for you all. Can't wait to get my teachers red pen out to mark them next week Hope to pop in later to see what fun you are all having Suex
Steve Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 We'll certainly let you know Sue! Have a good evening.
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hahaha I can only answer 15 without looking up answers! Not even sure all of those are right either One thing though Mrs Red Pen The word practice... that's the noun. If you use the verb it has an 's' - to practise. I don't know much so I do have to trot this fact out when I can That and hte property of cornflour gloop is called Thixotropy!
Steve Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Ah - you did see her get out clause though HK? Her decision is final. And she also arrives at your house if you argue. That's not a threat to take lightly!
Guest Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I know 2 answers!!! My general knowledge is pants!!!
HappyMaz Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 My general knowledge is pants!!! Has Sue said anything in the rules about googling the answers?
HappyMaz Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 One thing though Mrs Red Pen The word practice... that's the noun. If you use the verb it has an 's' - to practise. Not to mention the matter of missing apostrophes!
sunnyday Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hahaha I can only answer 15 without looking up answers! Not even sure all of those are right either 15 must be the magic number - me too!
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 My 8 year old has also pointed out that none of the questions have a ? LOL My pedanticness (is that even a word??) is clearly rubbing off on her!! We're only teasing Sue - I for one am enjoying the research
sunnyday Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Well ....... I think I might write a limerick or three........yes, I know there has been no request for this but I might do better at that (or not!)
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Ok....where have I used the word practise/practice......I don't practise/practice anything just blunder on and hope no one notices Feel free to put on your google hat and google away, or yahoo or bing or whatever is your thing I didn't put a question mark after each question as in my defence I did write the word question at the top of the column....can I be forgiven by the pedants.....please.....pretty please...
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Well Melba wins an FSF pen for being the first person to return my quiz.....haven't checked it yet but her speedy response deserves a pressie
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Melba, Melba, Melba... SWOT, SWOT, SWOT! To be fair, I didn't even notice the lack of question marks
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Melba, Melba, Melba... SWOT, SWOT, SWOT! To be fair, I didn't even notice the lack of question marks Alibongo is number 2 and so she also gets a pen regardless of her answers Soooo where did I use practice/practise????
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 No. 47 Can you be more specific with the Regatta question? Technically it isn't a race, it's a series of races and it can be sailing or rowing.. so which one do you want? Muhahaha I'm on a roll now!
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Q47....sorry Q15 A regatta is a boat race; where was the original regatta held.........looking for a place not a type of boat race
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Yes but do you want the place of the first SAILING Regatta or ROWING Regatta? Hmmm hmmm?
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 Hello Kitty gets a pen for my favourite wrong answer so far; Which non alcoholic cordial is made from pomegranates......Who cares? :( Pass the wine to her someone
Hello Kitty Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 I'm on the gin hence my pedantry (pedanticness??) I am doing proper answers now honest miss.
SueFinanceManager Posted November 18, 2011 Author Posted November 18, 2011 I'm on the gin hence my pedantry (pedanticness??) I am doing proper answers now honest miss. Ohhh OK if you must....I like the original entry
Hello Kitty Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Funny thing is some of the answers I just stuck in may be right
Guest Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 I am embarrassed to admit I only know one answer without looking things up! (I live in the Channel Islands so guessing the lighthouse one, so that might not even be correct). Great quiz though - thanks for the email as a prompt! Carrots x
