Activities in this teaching pack include a worksheet to check and make corrections and improvements to an encyclopaedia entry about a specific type of mini-beast to make sure it contains the correct spellings and punctuation and matches the structure and format of this type of writing.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to correct and edit an entry for a class encyclopaedia that provides information about a specific type of 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.
