Mrs Know Arranges a meeting with Mr Dot



Mrs Know has arranged a meeting at the school to talk to Mr Dot. School has finished for the year and Mrs Know is tidying up the school room today. She has brought her baby twins, Herb and Hebe with her.



Mr Dot cooks pizza and delivers them too, when necessary. Mr Dot has arrived at the school on his delivery bike.


Mr Dot has brought a pizza for them to eat. Mrs Know wasn’t expecting this. The twins are pleased and they start eating the piece of pizza that has been cut off for them. Mrs Know tells Mr Dot that Ingrid has had a lot of days absent from school and that she also didn’t come to school on the last day.



Mr Dot answers that to his knowledge that Ingrid leaves home in the morning to come to school and he can’t understand where she must be going if she is not attending school. Ingrid does help in the Pizza Shop but knows she has to attend school. The meeting ends and Mrs Know asks if Ingrid can come to the school today so she can have a talk to her. Mr Dot agrees and drives home to tell Ingrid.




About twenty minutes later there is a knock on the school door. Mrs Know opens the door and it is Ingrid.


Mrs Know and Ingrid discuss why she hasn’t been attending school. Ingrid has been elsewhere but will not tell Mrs Know where and what she has been doing during the days when she should have been attending school. Mrs Know explains to Ingrid that it is for her own benefit for her to attend school to learn as it will help her in the future.

The Chocolate Family Leave K. C. Bunnyborough

A few days have passed since the last day of school where it was announced that the Chocolate Family were leaving K. C. Bunnyborough. The reason given is that to have the orders of chocolate items and gingerbread houses delivered to the clients it would take five to six hours to take the items to the nearest town’s delivery depot.



The Chocolate family’s house has already been loaded on a truck and taken to the town where they are going to live. They have spent the last night staying with Mr and Mrs Know and in the morning Mr Know hitched up Strawberry, the pony, to the cart to take the Chocolate family to their house in the other town.


                                       

The Chocolate family are ready to go and Mrs Know farewells them all and looks forward to Mr Knows return in the late afternoon.



Mr Chocolate tells Mr Know that their furniture is at twin trunks under a cover and could they go past and check that the cover is safely secured. He tells Mr Know that a truck will come and pick up the furniture tomorrow afternoon. Mrs Know says she will check the furniture when they leave but Mr Chocolate insists that the family wants to check the furniture. Mr Know is surprised to hear the furniture hasn’t already been delivered to the chosen town because the house is already on the new site. Mrs Know for the second time farewells them as they leave K. C. Bunnyborough.

  They arrive at the Chocolate family’s home and Mr Chocolate thanks Mr Know for the lift and help he has given him and his family. He also asks Mr Know to check that their furniture is secure tomorrow morning before the truck comes to pick it up. Mr Know assures  Mr Chocolate he will.



The next morning Mr Know and Mrs Know with their twins hop to twin trunks to check that the Chocolate family’s furniture is secure. When they arrive at twin trunks they see a baby hedgehog and Ricky and Ruth rat there. "What are they doing here?" he wonders.



 Mr Know lifts the cover a bit… this is strange he thinks as he lifts the cover higher and sees that there is no furniture there but a gingerbread house. Now, Mr Know knows why the rats and hedgehog baby are there and that is because they could smell the gingerbread house. Mr Know realizes that they have just got there in time before the rats and hedgehog begin eating the gingerbread house.





He pulls the cover right off and goes inside and there is a note written by Mr Chocolate saying that the furniture was picked up delivered to the new site on the same day the house went. This gingerbread house is gift for all the rabbits at K. C. Bunnyborough to have.
Mr Know tells the rats and baby hedgehog that they are not to touch the gingerbread house until he lets all the rabbits know that it is here. 
The rabbits come and have a look then they knock it down so they can help themselves to as much gingerbread pieces of the house they can eat and carry home.


The Grayson rabbit family and Grandfather and Grandmother Cottontail are first to pick up some pieces to take home.





They are followed by the Grayson Blue family, the Lemon family (with a wheelbarrow), the White family and Terry Tan.


Mr White invites all the rabbits back to his house for fellowship and a sing-a-long.


The rabbits all express how happy they are to have some much gingerbread pieces to eat and are very grateful to the Chocolate family for the surprise. They did leave plenty of pieces at twin trunks for the rats and hedgehog family to have.




After they ate all they could Mr White started playing the piano and the rabbits sang and danced late into the night.

Last Day of School 2017

Today is the last day of school for 2017. Mrs Know has told the class that in the afternoon a visitor will be coming to celebrate the last day of school with them. (A strong wind has blown the bell tower off the stand.  It will be fixed in time when school starts in the New Year.)



It is now the afternoon and Mrs Know has asked the rabbits to put their things in their bags to take home when school finishes. She also asks that the table be cleared. Len and Larry clear the table and arranged the chairs as asked by Mrs Know. Mrs Know was singing songs with the class when Mr Know arrived with Mr and Mrs Chocolate behind him holding a gingerbread house which they put on the table.


Mr Know makes the announcement that the Chocolate Family will be leaving K. C. Bunnyborough during the school holidays. The Chocolate Family are well known in the country for the chocolate they make and their specialty which is making Gingerbread houses. They have loved living in K. C. Bunnyborough but it is too far to the nearest town to go to the postal and delivery service to send the orders they have for Gingerbread cakes.



Mr and Mrs Chocolate have made the Gingerbread house for the student rabbits because his two young rabbits have loved coming to school to learn. The school students are the first ones to hear the news of the Chocolate family decision to leave K. C. Bunnyborough. (Although Mr and Mrs Know were told last week about the Chocolate family’s decision to leave but they have not told the other rabbits who live in K. C. Bunnyborough.)

A knife is produced and the cake is cut up and a piece is given to each rabbit.


When school finished each rabbit was given a piece of cake for each rabbit in their family and a colour  in picture of a gingerbread house to take home.
 

The rabbits hopped home as fast as they could to tell their families about the lovely Gingerbread house Mr and Mrs Chocolate made for the school students and of their decision to leave K. C. Bunnyborough.
