This week children focused on writing an autobiography as the Highwayman. They considered cohesive devices to bring their paragraphs together and relied on the reading we have done around Highwaymen in the 18th century.

Next week we will be debating as a class some key questions around the Highwayman and his motives. We will then write up our debate.
