We have been very busy this week developing our writing skills by writing for a range of purposes. On Monday we read the story the Biscuit bear and thought about his personality, appearance, likes and dislikes. We used our ideas to write a character description of Biscuit bear thinking about writing in full sentences using conjunctions, adjectives and challenging themselves to write similes. 

On Tuesday we came into the classroom to find a mess on one of the tables. There were mini footprints, broken biscuits, and a biscuit box turned over. We found tubes of icing on top of foil and cling film and the flour tipped all over the table. We had  to pretend  we were police investigators writing a report at the scene. To describe the mess and explain where things were we used adjectives and  prepositions (positional words) Our sentences only told the truth about what we could see.

We then developed our design skills and drew biscuit bear dressed up in fancy dress. We worked together to follow a recipe measuring out and mixing the ingredients to make biscuit dough. Using the cutter we created a bear shape before baking them in the oven. We labelled our design telling people what decorations the design will be made from e.g. The round eyes will be chocolate drops. We were then able to create our design using icing, sprinkles and sweets. We also made Mr. Burnley a superhero bear biscuit and Mrs. Roberts a dancing bear biscuit.
