Ooooh Yeah!

This is the last week of term - masses of assignments are due in, which makes for a really busy week for me!  Making sure that the students all get their work completed and printed, signing it all in, sending receipts and making sure it all gets to the right person for marking...

But it is not ALL work....

Tonight we are having our Christmas Pub Quiz.  I am co-quiz master and have sorted out a couple of rounds of fun questions.  Rather than trying to enforce a "no looking up the answers on your phones" rule, we have tried to make the questions Google-proof.  One round has 2 sheets of photos and the students have to pair up the pictures.  The other has been done on the lines of "I asked 20 people this question - what was the most common answer?"  Some of the answers are great, eg someone thought that the biggest threat to the future of mankind is Zombies...

Should be a fun evening.

***************************

Most of the Christmas decorations are up.

As usual I have done the Pooh Grotto in the front porch, in memory of our daughter who was a great Pooh fan, and also a great fan of Christmas!


 
Setting this up always gets me in the mood for a good celebration, spending time with friends and relations. 
 
ROLL ON CHRISTMAS!!!!

Love the Pooh Grotto!
Hooray for the end of the school term! The Pub Quiz sounds like a good time! The Zombie answer is too funny! Do I remember something like this from last year?

One man's reason to celebrate is another man's reason to jump off a bridge. Such is the Season. I had a totally different take on it today.

May your Christmas be VERY merry!!!

I love Pooh bear! What a sweet tribute.

Google-proof questions. HOW fun! You probably could find 20 random people who think Zombies are our biggest threat.
The Pooh grotto is sweet. Merry Christmas!

The pub quiz sounds like SO much fun! Good idea to Google proof the questions. That should give everyone a fair shot at winning.

Your decorations are very festive! Seems like you're ready! Got all your shopping done?

Man, you guys have definitely cornered the market on Pooh paraphernalia. Love the decorations - puts me in the Christmas mood as well.

The pub quiz sounds challenging. I am sure it will make for a fun evening. Does it get any easier with a few pints? And, for the record, Zombies ARE the biggest threat...

ShadowRun300 - Yes, we did a quiz in the Spring which was good but not as much fun as this one was. I think we have nailed the format now.

Lotta Joy - You are so right. We had a few very painful years, and an old friend of mine commited suicide one New Years Eve...

Riot Kitty - Thanks, it works for us.

Abby - You know I think I saw some Zombies after I left the pub last night...

Terri - Yes, it was a pretty close contest, with scores between 20 and 35, The second place team had 34 points! All of the big presents are bought, just a few extras and the food to go...

Agg79 - Oh, we have more Pooh stuff than that, just don't have room in the porch! Some seemed to struggle more as the evening went on... You agree about the Zombies! Hm, maybe next time I should include you lot in my question sampling!
