Activities in this teaching pack include a table display card to support how to collect and record facts that can answer different key questions about a specific type of mini-beast by reading and accessing information contained in a non-fiction text.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to use non-fiction information texts to collect facts and information that can answer different key questions about a mini-beast.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to devise a class information book that uses alphabetical ordering to describe different mini-beasts that might live in the school grounds, identify and spell words with the or and ar phonemes and punctuate lists in sentences using commas. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
