The evocative and dramatic classic poem “The Highwayman” by Alfred Noyes has captivated Year 5 with its vivid imagery and rhythmic verses. The children have delved into the poem’s historical context, analysed its themes and discussed the characters’ motivations and emotions.
This week, we introduced “The Tale of Three Brothers” by J.K. Rowling, a narrative poem from the beloved Harry Potter series. This modern tale has provided a fantastic contrast to “The Highwayman” and the children have enjoyed discussing the moral lessons of the story.
