Title: CS for fans Post by austriaamy on Jun 19th, 2003, 7:40am OK, Rebecca gave me an idea in the Con post. Why don't we start a CS for fans? The person with the most posts could be the headgirl and the other people with tons of posts can be the prefects. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jun 19th, 2003, 9:14am It could just be me, but I thought we had one! Still, I'm game... |

If cricket essays are anything to go by its between me and Raya for Games Prefect. Though I love watching sport I'm useless at playing it so make up your own minds on that one. I would happily accept the sub-prefect library post. Doesn't it at one stage say the library posts are divided between fiction and non fiction. I am eagerly awaiting the decision of the Head Girl, poor KB it reminds me of Head Girl when Grizel had problems with Deira, I hope we are all going to behave nicely towards each other and no throwing of stones. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Rachael P on Jun 26th, 2003, 2:31pm Oh, Edith - that reminds me ... guess what I met last Thursday night?? 2 Giant African Land Snails - and they were sooooo cute (if a little slug-like and slimy if I'm truthful) But I can see why you like them - very different and boy can they eat?!! One of them was storming through a lettuce leaf! (Ariella - they seem very easy to look after ....) |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by edith on Jun 26th, 2003, 2:48pm Yep! I know! Ours eat dandelions luckily or our lettuce bill would be ginormus! You don't want some do you? They can be quite friendly if you handle them often, otherwise they hide! They've been to several local schools for visits, and several schools now have them for pets. In 1 school they spend most of their day out of their tank! Another school thought they'd killed their 3 off, I gave them some new ones and the others recovered, I haven't found out how she explained that to the kids when she took them back to school! |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Rachael P on Jun 26th, 2003, 2:58pm No thanks! I've heard they're hermaphrodite (is that the word? I was told it takes two to mate but they can change gender?) and have a fairly impressive reproductive cycle ................. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jun 27th, 2003, 10:13am Do you people realise that the end of term is fast approaching and not only have we yet to finalise all the prefects, we have yet to choose a theme for the sale!! :o We can't let the standards slip now we are in charge. Time to get the thinking caps on *Ally sits with her eyes screwed up concentrating on an idea then suddenly she smiles* Ok how about a mixing CS with our world (shouldn't be too difficult we do it all the time) and have a CS sale. We could have stalls representing the different periods of the school, so that's at least five stalls, which fits the number of houses as well (luckily). We then get to choose to be different characters from each period. I hope this is ok Can I be on the Tyrol stall please? Also this means we are going to have to assign ourselves to different houses. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jun 27th, 2003, 1:24pm What a wonderful idea, Ally.

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Cumbrian_Rachel on Jun 27th, 2003, 3:26pm I always liked Maeve's idea of a ships sale - particularly the idea of the pirate ship!

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by crashbb on Jun 27th, 2003, 3:57pm I support the idea of a CS sale and would like to suggest that the juniours be given Glendower stall, in which we can do a lucky dip - if anyone can come up with an idea for the format for the dip. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jun 27th, 2003, 4:51pm Ok everyone thanks for the feedback if we have agreed on on this Fete then here are a few more ideas on how it might work (please feel free the suggest changes) There will be a stall for every period, which will be run by each house apart fron Glendower House that will run itself. So there will be 6 stalls: Tyrol St Scholastika (local saint) Guernsey St Therese Liseaux sp? (near France) Plas Howell St Hild (English saint) St Briavels St Claire Gornetz Platz St Agnes (newest location) Glendower House Themselves Each stall would be themed for each country and would feature us as characters from those books. Could I have suggestions for stalls and which period/house would do what, please. :D |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jun 27th, 2003, 10:48pm The characters who appear in each section could be a little irritating to have all the time. Certainly, we could have a young Jo and an older Jo, but I think we should only have one Miss Annersley, one Matron, one Madge, etc. Perhaps they can move between stalls and answer peoples' questions. That said, may I claim Madge? |

One frequent comment in the books is of the needlework of the continental girls putting that of the English to shame so perhaps the needlework stall should be in the Tyrol part. Refreshments could be cakes from all the different areas mentioned. Toys Plas Howell as they are mainly mentioned from then. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by edith on Jul 3rd, 2003, 9:24am Herr Laubach likes modern theres something in Jo returns I think when she talks to Polly, all I remember of the quote is "Seeing purple in every blessed thing!" |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:17am This is the scene. Jo is giving Polly her first lesson in history and they are making her history chart. Jo suggests she should decorate it, and Polly says she can't draw: "You can read up about those events when you have time," said Jo. "And see what you can do about illustrations. It's a pity you can't draw - not that I can myself. But if you could put in some jolly little original pictures, it would have made it much more interesting." "Miss Smithson said I could sketch quite prettily," said Polly defensively. "It's only Herr Laubach who says I'm bad. He does get so worked up about my work." Jo grinned reminiscently. "He can do that without an excuse," she said feelingly. "But if you sketch 'prettily', my child, it's no wonder! 'Pretty' work is like a red rag to a bull with him." "I don't see why," protested Polly. "Well, he's all for the modern methods, you know. I've never seen your drawings, but I should imagine you put in piles of detail instead of taking 'a broad view', which is his mania - that, and seeing purple in every blessed thing." |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 4th, 2003, 10:31am Ok I've come up with the beginning of a list for stalls Games and Puzzles Toys, eg jigsaws, dolls clothes, scrapbooks (Plas Howell) Needlework (Tyrol) Books (St Mildreds - they should be the most learned!) Luck Dip (Carnbach) Crafts, eg leatherwork, wood, pottery Produce, Jam, pickles, bottled fruit (Swiss because of all the food) Toms House could be models of all the different buildings the schools been in. Can I have recommendations for games/puzzles for that stall And I think everyone would agree with me that Madge (KB) should open the sale |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:10pm I'd love to, and I promise to keep my speech short, out of consideration for the young people present. So how long until the Sale actually begins? Oh, and Ally, that idea you had for Tom's houses is one I also had for a story I'm writing. Great minds... |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Clare on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:12pm I second the view that Madge should open the sale. Games - could play Irish Bingo (if one of the numbers on your bingo card is called out, you sit down). Win - a bar of chocolate?? Competitions - who can transfer the most rice into a bowl using chop sticks or a fork in one minute. Weigh the results at the end, and make a note of their score. Whoever gets the highest could win something that the Dommy Sci people cook up (no pun intended). - history of the CS competition - years we moved locations, guess the headgirl from a CS legend, guess the teacher from one of their pet phrases (Miss Annersley - the can and may things; Bill for something sarcastic etc). DO NOT let Joey enter this because she'll win hands down. Prize is a picture of the chalet at the Tiernsee. - A-Z wordsearch. There are 26 words to find in the wordsearch, each starting with a letter of the alphabet. You have to solve the clues before looking for the word. 5 minutes per contestant. Don't know what the prize can be for the highest number of clues solved and words found in the wordsearch. That's it, I'm out of ideas! |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:19pm - CS book titles and characters out of mixed letters |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:21pm I don't know when its going to begin, we need to make sure that as many people are around as possible and not on holiday. Also its going to have to be the longest sale in history to make sure no one misses out (probably two weeks would be best, maybe even more!) Love the ideas for games, to make it interactive we will have to post the links to quizs (maybe a few more needed), and do the jigsaws and hangman on this website. I wonder if Liss could set up a competition for us, as she use to do on the old site (you know guess the character etc) but on a bigger scale. I suppose that basically we would email in the answers. I don't know about prizes though, maybe the satisfaction of winning will have to do! |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:23pm Have you seen the drabble competition she's got going? |

|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 4th, 2003, 12:29pm Yep, I think I was dreaming last night about what I could write! but I still didn't come up with anything. Its a great idea though. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Rachael P on Jul 4th, 2003, 1:04pm These ideas are great! Definitely scope to extend the Games page!! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 1:12pm Maybe we should start now and see what we can come up with for Liss (I'm not taking credit for these - they're from the FOCS Third CS Annual): Chalet School Yumagrams: (The answers are all anagrams of CS titles and the word 'chocolate' can easily be transformed into Chalet School with a few leftover letters.) 1. Chocolate thins shall tend Head 2. John: Chocolate rots teeth slur 3. Ban the hard L.A. chocolate bars 4. I tasted chocolate hole - I gnash! 5. Chocolate loon had shared teeth 6. The chocolate self 7. Chocolate shred bid - ate shell 8. Hello chocolate! As froth - yum! 9. I chose Slough chocolate - eat - taste! 10. Hot chocolate? Her teeth slog. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Clare on Jul 4th, 2003, 6:44pm Good grief KB! They are hard! I'll have to print them off and have a proper go at them. I hope you have the answers in an envelope to hand to Miss Annersley at the end of the sale... With the name of the competition on too! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 4th, 2003, 10:15pm I'm a little more organised than Tom, so I have the answers all ready to hand, yes. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Cumbrian_Rachel on Jul 5th, 2003, 7:41pm I've managed to solve them :-) They were rather tough though - I resorted slightly to looking at a list of CS books to do the last few... |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by crashbb on Jul 5th, 2003, 9:07pm You mean we aren't supposed to do that ;D :-/ ??? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 5th, 2003, 11:14pm Let me know when I should put up the answers. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by ariella on Jul 6th, 2003, 12:32am ??? ??? ??? ??? I'm totally stumped on them! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 6th, 2003, 12:59pm *lol* I'll put up the answers in the morning, my time. I'm too tired to type them up now. |

|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by CF on Jul 11th, 2003, 10:28pm Going back to the Sale - who is going to run the Clock Golf? Are we sticking to the convention that it can only be run by males (preferably a junior doctor) for males (fathers, uncles, consultants) - in which case I think Thomas will have to do it - or shall we embrace equal opportunities and perhaps let the games prefect do it? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 11th, 2003, 11:20pm Sorry for the delay, but I mislaid the Annual. Here are the answers (and consider any necessary details regarding FOCS to have been ignored because I'm secretly publishing my own copies of all their books and selling them under my own name! *bwahahahaha*) Okay, here we go: 1. The Chalet School and the Island 2. Jo Returns to the Chalet School 3. The Chalet School and Barbara 4. The Chalet School Does It Again 5. Theodora and the Chalet School 6. Chalet School Fete 7. Bride Leads the Chalet School 8. Mary-Lou of the Chalet School 9. Eustacia Goes to the Chalet School 10. Three Go to the Chalet School So, how did you go? |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Lorraine on Jul 12th, 2003, 4:50am Well, this seems to be leading up to a proper RPG. Which, by the way, could actually be quite fun! A Chalet School RPG... who'd get to be Joey? That's something you've left out so far! How can you even CONSIDER planning a major event without Joey being involved somehow? Shame on you girls! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 12th, 2003, 5:00am *lol* I'd never thought of it as a real RPG. Maybe Joey could be in Canada. That removes the need for a lot of characters! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 14th, 2003, 10:48am I thought we had decided to have a young Joey and an older Joey but no one has vounteered yet. As for clock golf maybe it should be run jointly by all the ex-pupils who married doctors, so both males and females are involved, eg Biddy & Eugen, Hilary & Phil etc.. btw feeling particulary stupid this morning but can't decipher RPG, please help |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Lesley on Jul 14th, 2003, 2:38pm Role Playing Game |

|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 17th, 2003, 11:25am Ok I think we need to get this Fete started! Also I had another idea last night to do our own end of term edition of the Chaletian. Of course the magazine prefect - Clare - would have to agree, but how about all people given prefectship and others roles on this thread write a report for the magazine, and anyone can submit articles, games and anything else. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Clare on Jul 17th, 2003, 11:42am Magazine prefect agrees! Hehe. I want all articles in in a months time. We could set up a new thread for contributions... I'll do that as soon as I've written my editorial! And to all prees who HAVE to write reports for me (ooh, I love delegating tasks ;D) please avoid stiltedness a la Grizel!! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 17th, 2003, 12:13pm Thanks for opening the thread Clare :D I'm glad you liked the idea! *goes to find Raya to discuss how to divide up the games reports...* |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 17th, 2003, 1:45pm Hmm, suppose you'll want a report from the Head Girl... *KB goes off to consider* *comes back* Okay, done it! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Marianne on Jul 17th, 2003, 7:29pm Well , beleive i'm stationary pree, does that mean you need a stationary report ? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Susan on Jul 18th, 2003, 12:18am I always wanted an article in the school magazine but never managed it - you had to be specially invited at our school. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by ariella on Jul 18th, 2003, 12:24am Shades of Amy Stevens asking if we can send in poetry for the magazine lol ..... do you want only prefect reports or other entries for the Chaletian ? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 18th, 2003, 10:23am Put in anything you like, its our mag, so its up to us (well Clare anyway!) I mentioned prefects reports, just to give those of us chosen a chance to exert our authority! So Ariella I expect something about the Geography and Dommy Sci rooms, as well as anything of your own invention ;) |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by ariella on Jul 18th, 2003, 12:53pm *pulls hair* and cries help! ack .... remind me of relevant staff! Miss Moore and Miss Ferrars for geog? and who for dom sci? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 18th, 2003, 12:58pm Frau Mieders and Bill did some Geog too I think Sorry didn't mean you to lose all your hair over this!!! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 18th, 2003, 1:16pm Hmm, a hairless prefect. How would Matey cope with that? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Clare on Jul 18th, 2003, 4:25pm Anyone can contribute to it, but I expect reports off all the prefects - even Stationary Marianne! You're free to write what you like, providing it's CS-esq! And yes, you can contribute stories and poems if you like. It's your magazine, I just lay down the rules ;D (sorry, power went to my head for a minute there!) Please don't go hairless Ariella! Or we'd have to put in a picture of you before and after you wrote our article. It'll go down in school legend like Corney Flower and her sax! |

A lecture and some castor oil, I'm thinking... Along with a stern warning not to go near the acting supplies, after all we all know that Joey's already done that, so it can NOT be copied by any other member of the school *sage nod* |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by ariella on Jul 19th, 2003, 12:18am What I couldn't even borrow a wig from the acting cupboard to solve the problem!!!! Thankfully Ally answered the question before I reached the hairless stage ... I was thinking Bill but then since she is at Millies wasn't sure if she was teaching at the school still at all. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Jul 25th, 2003, 12:21pm KB do you think you could open the sale soon, and we will make it up as we go along - it hasn't hurt us yet!! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 25th, 2003, 2:08pm Oh, all right. Ahem. I'm sure you'll all agree that there has been a lot of hard work gone into this year's Sale and I would like to remind you all of the very good cause to which the proceeds are donated. I hope you will all enjoy this memory of the Chalet School's history and it will entice you to be more generous than ever. I hereby declare the Sale open and wish you all a good time of spending. *applause* |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Rachael P on Jul 25th, 2003, 2:12pm *... and giggles of pure joy from the Juniors who were accustomed to lengthy speeches of around seven minutes and were extremely delighted by KB's thrifty opener of seven seconds ...* ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 25th, 2003, 2:17pm I try to suit my speeches to my audience. Oh, you've already gone to start spending. Never mind. So who's going to escort the Lady Opener around then? And how can I both 'Lady Open' and keep an eye on things at the same time? These dual roles aren't all they're cracked up to be! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Lesley on Jul 25th, 2003, 9:55pm Pardon me. As prefect for the kindergarten I'd like to report that one of my classmates has had an accident in the Wishing Well! |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 26th, 2003, 12:13am I believe Matey is overseeing the afternoon tea. You'd better go and find her, if she isn't on the spot already. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Susan on Jul 27th, 2003, 12:18am You forgot to wait for your 'lady openers' bouquet KB. Those flowers on legs aren't part of the sale, it's the youngest junior chasing you to present them to you. |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 27th, 2003, 12:22am Flowers on legs? Thank you, Susan. Wonderful mental image! And I gratefully accept them from the poor out-of-breath young thing. Can you put them in some water for me, dear, so they don't wilt? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Carolyn P on Jul 27th, 2003, 3:40pm Can I offer you an old fish basket to put your purchases in Lady Opener? ;D |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by KB on Jul 27th, 2003, 11:03pm Much appreciated. Thank you. (Although I may have to limit my purchases to certain genres so that they are appropriate to their smell! *g*) |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by xanthe on Aug 17th, 2003, 9:10pm Having just come across this (I was tidying my cubicle again and thus missed the start of the sale...) I am moved to wonder if I have actually missed the whole thing *sob* or if I still have a chance to try for the dolls' house... ooh, and if I have missed it, how much did we make and did someone manage to get the junior out of the wishing well? |
||
|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Ally on Aug 18th, 2003, 1:57pm Don't worry the Sale has only just opened so their is plenty of opportunity to win a model of one of the Chalet Buildings - But you might have to help come up with the game! ;) |

|
Title: Re: CS for fans Post by Sawah on Aug 18th, 2003, 4:21pm I hope plenty of people are buying the cross stitch designs I spent all term doing. And as I obtained my remove to Inter V a bit ago, can I be their form prefect? |

Anything you like - could say you're disappointed by the lack of interest this term but are hoping it will take off with a bang next term. If you can think of some new hobbies to add to the list, that would be great! :) Clare (editor!) PS - Edith, you're library pree. Could rope something in about Raya's site for transcripts, and mention that summaries of the books are on this site. |

Title: Re: CS for fans Post by edith on Aug 18th, 2003, 8:38pm OK! Ps I've just had an idea to work out. I'll post it if it works-its to do with dollshouses-ok not really library but a bit of fun if it works! |
