These five ready-to-teach KS1 English lessons are based on the wonderful picture book, 'Peace at Last' by Jill Murphy.
After becoming familiar with the Peace at Last story, children will first sequence and then retell the tale in their own words. They will then look at a story map of the book, and adapt it by changing the characters, the places that the character tries to sleep, and the noises that keep them awake. Children will use this adapted story map to write their own version of the story.
Each of the lessons in this Peace at Last Planning Pack include an easy-to-follow plan, a set of engaging slides for the teaching input, differentiated activity ideas and printable resources.
