Year 5's surprise visitor

Date: 7th Jul 2016 @ 8:30am

Last week, year 5 had a surprise visitor, who burst in during class worship. He informed the children that he was hiding from the constables and needed a place to hide for the day. 

He introduced himself as a highway man and told the children stories about his life and gave them information about the reality of life as a highway man. 

The children wrote a ballad, adapted the original newspaper stories so they told the truth and created new wanted posters to stick up around the town. 

This really helped the children visualise what a highway man was like, which linked to the highway man poem that year 5 are studying in class.
