Yesterday we started to read the book “Biscuit Bear” by Mini Grey.

The book is about a little boy called Horace who makes a Biscuit Bear. During the night Bisuit Bear comes to life and leaves Horace’s bedroom.

Mrs Stewart stopped reading the book at this bit and we had to predict what we thought might happen next.

We had to draw a detailed picture of our prediction and tell Mrs Stewart about it. Some of our predictions were
– he goes to a forest and makes friends with other bears.
– he goes outside and gets stood on!
– he sails away in a boat.

Later on, we read the rest of the book and found out that Biscuit Bear goes to the kitchen and makes himself some biscuit friends. However, they meet a horrible end when the family dog comes and eats them!! (Don’t worry though – Biscuit Bear escapes).

We really liked this book, although some of us were a little sad at the bit where the dog eats Biscuit’s friends. We are going to get some more Mini Grey books to read after the holidays.

Today, we made some new friends for Biscuit Bear. We mixed and baked them in the morning and then decorated them in the afternoon. We had some extra biscuits, so we decorated them too and delivered them to some lucky people around the school.

You can watch us at work below.
