English
Learning Objective: Uses their phonic knowledge to write words in ways which match their spoken sounds. Writes some common irregular words.
Create a small world for “We’re Going on a Bug Hunt”, based on the Bear Hunt so you will need swishy swashy grass, a river, thick oozy mud, a cave!
Find some minibeasts to explore it.
Write some labels for parts of the small world and for the mini beasts you find to explore it. Have fun!

Have you watched me reading Honey Biscuits in the Video Resources section of our website? Well here is the recipe and method featured in that book:
The ingredients for Honey Biscuits from this book are:
120g softened butter
120g sugar
1 large tablespoon honey
1 egg yolk
1 level teaspoon cinnamon
180g self-raising flour
1 tablespoon sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon combined on a plate
And here’s what you need to do:
Beat the butter and sugar together in a bowl until they are creamy
Mix in the honey and then the egg yolk.
Add the cinnamon and the flour and mix into a soft dough. You may need to add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky. It will need to be a little sticky for the next step.
Shape teaspoonful pieces of the dough into balls and roll in the extra sugar and cinnamon mix.
Place on to a greased or lined baking tray and cook in an oven heated to 175oC for 12 to 15 minutes until they are golden brown.
Allow biscuits to cool a little before transferring them to a rack.
These biscuits are delicious and they will fill your house with a lovely smell while cooking too!
