When she arrived at school, Ms. Lawder told the children she smelled gingerbread in our Classroom. She found our Gingerbread Man playing with some gingerbread toys in the class treehouse! As she approached, she stumbled and made a noise and she couldn’t catch him as he ran out the door. The children know he is still in the school! The hunt continues!
Later in the morning I listened in as Ms Lawder and the class planned who they needed to talk to on their hunt. After lunch, they set off to find their Gingerbread Man!!

Watch the video below to see where the hunt took the Kindergartens!

The children made their Gingerbread Man today. I must say….he was a handsome looking fellow. They popped their little man in the oven and went back to their class. They were rubbing their hands together gleefully as they awaited their ‘gingery’ snack. I remained well hidden and was beside myself with worry.

When they went to pick up their snack…..imagine their suprise (and MINE!) when they discovered an open oven door and crumbs leading from the scene! By George, he did it — He ESCAPED! (scroll down for the video!)
The children hunted all over the school for their cookie, many teachers, staff and children had seen him and told the children which way he had gone. I think the little guy must have a great set of ears as he always managed to avoid them. As hunting didn’t seem to work the children decided to make Wanted Posters to post around the school hoping someone might find their Gingerbread Man. Ms. Lawder told them she thought they’d scared him with all their talk about eating him (man ‘o man she has that right!!).
