Today we are going to be editing our work and writing it up neatly. The completed work today needs to be written up on the paper provided in your pack as it will be stuck into your published writing books at school.
Editing
Watch Mrs Bragg's video below and use the attachments to help you edit your work.

Remember that sentences and proper nouns (names, places, days of the week and months) need to begin with a capital letter. Ensure you have clear finger spaces in your work and that most of your spellings are correct. You can use the tricky word sheet on this page to help you find the correct spelling. Sentences need to finish with a full stop, question mark or exclamation mark so think about the sentence type you have used.
