Year 6 have been analysing a narrative poem written by Alfred Noyes called 'The Highwayman'. Set in 18th century England, the poem tells the tale of thief and his love, Bess. Using archaic language, it was a challenge to interpret and we began the week by unpicking each stanza to decipher the hidden emotions, actions and thoughts of each character. It gave us a fantastic insight into the poem.
