Become an expert in editing with our KS1 and KS2 Eddie the Eagle Editing Task. Children will learn about the famous Olympic ski-jumper Eddie the Eagle whilst correcting spelling, punctuation and grammar along the way. This resource has been differentiated six ways and worksheets range from correcting full stops, capital letters and high frequency words to correcting word tenses, using apostrophes for contracted and possessive forms and inserting omitted words.
