Gingerbread Man – The BIG Hunt!!

Posted on December 10, 2014 by Deanne

When she arrived at school, Ms. Lawder told the children she smelled gingerbread in our Classroom. She found our Gingerbread Man sleeping in the playhouse! As she approached, she stumbled and made a noise accidentally waking him up — she couldn’t catch him as he ran out the door. The children know he is still in the school! The hunt continues!
They met with Ms. Shuster’s class and planned who they needed to talk to on their hunt. Then they set off to find their Gingerbread Man!!

Watch the slide show below to see where the hunt took the Kindergartens!

The Kindergartens are making Gingerbread cookies on Friday. If you can join us to help with the baking….let Ms Lawder know via email! Thanks

Gingerbread Blog – Kindergartens make a Gingerbread Man & he runs away!!

Posted on December 8, 2014 by Deanne

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 to Daily 5. They were rubbing their hands together gleefully as they awaited their ‘gingery’ snack. I remained well hidden and was beside myself with worry.

All ready to bake!

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 pictures!)
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 which they posted 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!!).

Our School Pumpkin Patch!

Posted on October 30, 2014 by Deanne

We were so lucky to have a pumpkin patch at our school on Wednesday! The Revitt family who have 3 daughters at our school applied for a grant and true to their family motto of “Go Big or Go Home” the pumpkin patch they created was simply fantastic! The children loved skipping through the pumpkins, munching popcorn, slurping hot chocolate and finally collecting their pumpkin to take home!

Daily 5 – Our Literacy & Early Reading Program

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Deanne

This week we started to introduce our Daily 5 Literacy Activities. The Kindergartens were introduced to “Reading to Self.” We learned what that looks like and what the children and teachers should be doing.

We began to build our reading stamina. So far we are reading for 4 minutes!
