A set of 15 fully prepared, highly detailed PowerPoint based lessons that include: the pages from the actual story, a range of activities per lesson, useful printable resources. The first two lessons are available to download free, to get a sense of the lesson structure (look in my shop).
The book, Ocean Meets Sky, is beautiful. I have used these PP lessons with my Year 3 class and had incredible work created by them. Their level of thinking and inferencial work has blown me away, along with their writing. The work actually lasted me an entire term to get through - 6 weeks. There is more than a single lesson’s worth of work within each PowerPoint.
I’ve poured my heart and soul into making these PowerPoints beautiful to see, easy to use, resource and understand. The lessons are definitely suitable for Lower KS2, and can work wonderfully with minimal adaptation for Upper KS2 also (my Y6 colleague confirmed this).
**You do not need to buy the book in order to use these lessons **- the pages are within. But I would recommend buying ‘Ocean Meets Sky’ - the children LOVED reading this book (by the Fan Brothers) and seeing the illustrations in person.
This beautiful and poignant story has stunning illustrations throughout (matched in the PowerPoints) and explores themes of family, memory and loss. The unit begins by introducing the authors to the children and highlighting the power of bookmaking/storytelling.
Children find a mysterious box in the classroom labelled Grandpa’s Stuff. Inside they will find clues to who Grandpa was and his relationship with the main character, Finn. Finn misses his Grandfather after he has passed away and longs to travel to the fantastical worlds that his Grandpa would tell him about in his stories.
Children are given a variety of meaningful writing opportunities throughout the sequence and gradually build up the skills to write an extended fantasy story of their own.
Main outcomes: Setting and character descriptions, labels, diary entry, postcard, captain’s log, instructions, dialogue, extended fantasy narrative.
The resources are based on the planning sequences for the same book by the Literary Curriculum. I’d recommend taking a look at their site for the planning document that aligns with this (and see the other brilliant stories they’ve created plans for).

Nicely created Powerpoints with notes attached in lieu of lesson plans.
Great powerpoints based on the Literacy Leaves unit. However, I am disappointed that the file sizes are too large for me to convert to Google slides. Our school only uses Chromebooks so I wonder if there is a way around this..... as it is, I won't be able to use them.
