Stories inspired by the Highwayman

We have been writing some short stories inspired by The Highwayman written by Alfred Noyes. We have attempted to write the part of the poem where the main character finds out about Bess and rides back in anger to confront his fate.

Confession letters as Tim the Ostler

This week we have been writing confession letters as Tim the Ostler, writing to Bess to get the guilt of what he did out of his system. After going through the drafting process we then had a go at using Morphobooth to bring our letters to life.

Letter to the unknown warrior

As part of our Fallen fields topic we have been learning about the unknown soldier. We have learnt about how he was chosen, where he came from and why he was needed. We then looked at the http://www.1418now.org.uk/letter/ project where people were asked to write letters to the unknown soldier statue located at Paddington station in London.

We discussed what he would see and how he would have been able to witness the world changing year after year from the one he knew in 1918. We also asked the question, 'If you could write a letter to the Unknown Soldier, what would you ask?'

As a class we wrote a whole class shared write of a new verse to look at the impact on the events in the poem on one of the Redcoats. Here is our effort:
