Activities in this teaching pack include display posters to identify effective labels that can be used for cargoes carried on board ships or boats, a set of cards to produce labels using text and graphics to record cargo materials and objects and a worksheet to change the font colours, sizes and styles of labels used to name materials and objects carried on board a ship or boat.

The interactive presentation can be used to explore how to produce and change a selection of word processed labels to identify materials and objects transported by ships and boats.

This lesson is part of a computing scheme of work to get the children to practise structuring and formatting different word processed documents to describe a range of ships and boats seen in a harbour. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
