Key Question Week 9: Who was the highwayman?
Key Text for Linked Learning: The Highwayman – Alfred Noyes
Linked Learning: English and PDW
In English, children will discuss whether the character of the highwayman was a hero or not. They will
look at a story written from both perspectives and use this to inform their ideas. They will use this to plan
and develop their own prequel to the Highwayman. They will look at examples of prequels and how they
link to the source material. Children will then plan their writing by drawing and annotating a storyboard.
They will then write the story over 2 days; making sure they include features such as: figurative language,
historical facts, high-level vocabulary and fronted adverbials. In PAG, children will consolidate relative
clauses and how they are used in a piece of writing. During our PDW day, children will link their
understanding of the Highwayman and anti-social behaviour, thinking carefully about gang culture and
how that has developed in our society. They will discuss the effects of anti-social behaviour on society
today vs society in the 18th century (when the Highwayman was set).
Maths: Children will draw line graphs and read intermediate points on the line graphs. Children will also
draw a graph which converts imperial to metric units and learn to solve problems involving rate of change
over time. Children will also revisit the 24-hour clock, where they will be performing an investigation into
specific times of the day. They will also try and work out times of the day on a clock where the minutes
hand is missing.
Science: Children will begin by exploring the life cycle of a human and identifying different milestones in a
person’s life. They will then explore the gestation periods of different mammals and will display this info
on a bar graph. They will then take the information collected and use it to answer key questions and
comparisons.
History: N/A
Geography: Children will develop an understanding of the similarities and differences of the culture of an
Amazonian Rainforest Tribe compared with our own, by undertaking research into their culture.
Computing: Children will talk about a range of jobs and discuss what skills they will need in order to
perform that role in the future. Children will create a basic CV of things they will need to achieve in order
to gain their dream job.
Music: Children compare and evaluate the music of Holst, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, using the appropriate
musical vocabulary to express their opinions.
Art: Children will revisit a variety of shading techniques to create tone and shade, creating small samples
of each technique (Circulism, Contour Shading, Hatching and Cross Hatching).
Design Technology: N/A
PDW: PDW Day: Friday 25th June
Session 1: Children will identify the consequences of anti-social behaviour on individuals and communities.
Session 2: Children will learn about peer-pressure and gangs and begin to discover what ‘trafficking’ is.
Session 3: Children will learn about different types of child abuse and talk about who they can go to for
help.
Session 4: Children will recognise cultural differences and how that can affect a community.
Session 5: Children will learn about marriage and what causes people to choose to marry or not.
P.E: Children will develop their take-off and landing positions when performing a triple-jump. They will learn how to
use correct triple-jump technique and can practise jumping as far as possible using their bodies to create
momentum to propel them forwards. Children will also evaluate their own as well as a partner’s triple-jump
technique and suggest improvements. Children will also use effective baton passes in relay to help improve their
best running times.

The Birth of the Highwayman

Dick Turpin grinned as he knelt in the bushes. He has spied a right-looking carriage coming down the lane not 20 minutes ago
and he just had to get the jump on them. He glanced at an oak tree next to him and remembered climbing oak trees in the
forests of Essex as a young child. He was not a highwayman then; no, just a young, handsome boy with a love of mischief. His
father had sent him to work for a butcher. It was here where he found he had much more success at stealing pigs and cattle
than slaughtering them for a living.
The carriage crept closer and Turpin steadied his hand. He grabbed his rapier and made sure it was free in its scabbard. He knew
he wouldn’t use it; he used his natural charm and personality to get what he wanted. Murder was such messy business.
Besides, he was no murderer. Just a fellow trying to make a living in an ever dangerous world. The carriage was now in front of
him. He leapt out and grabbed the reins from the driver. He steadied himself as the carriage jolted to a halt. He glanced to the
sides for armed guards and hired men; some of the richer ones hired their pen personal guards to attempt to protect them.
Seeing no one, he made sure the horses were calm before calmly striding towards the carriage door. He opened the door to
find a lady quietly shaking in the seat. She was holding something in her arms – a small dog- barking and yapping to get free.
He brandished a grin and removed his French-cocked hat from his head. Turpin bowed as if greeting King George himself;
swinging his arms wide as he swung his head to his waist.
‘Greetings, lovely lady! It is I, Dick Turpin!’ He shouted boldly. ‘I’m afraid I’ll be relieving you of your gold and jewels. Be a dear
and do not cause trouble. I don’t want to tarnish my sword with your blood!’

                                               The Mark of the Highwayman

The highwayman stared. There was nothing of note in front of her; she simply stared ahead, thinking of what she was about it
do. A rickety carriage made its way down the cobbled road. It was a shame; the poor fools didn’t know what was about to
happen to them. Any other day, they may have been able to travel safely, but not today. As a young girl growing up in the
workhouses; she realised the importance of taking what you wanted no matter the cost or consequences. She remembered
when a group of children tried to take an apple out of her hands; she quickly made them regret it. She was not cruel. She was
efficient. Yet, she almost hoped the carriage riders would out up a fight.
The carriage pulled up in front of her. She could see a single guard riding on the back, half asleep. This was her moment, she
leapt and pulled her pistol from his holster. She grabbed the guard by his shoulders and threw him to the ground. He was so
lazy, he didn’t see her coming. She climbed to the roof of the carriage and walked to the front in just one step. She shot the
driver in the shoulder; he let out a yelp and let go of the reins. Quickly, she jumped down and grabbed the reins before they
could fall away. She pulled on the reins and brought the carriage to a stop. She jumped down and slinked her way to the door.
She pulled it open. Inside was a man dressed in a simple robe. He was holding a dagger; ready to strike. She didn’t have time
for this. She fired a single shot to his chest and he fell away in an instant.
‘Not worth the effort’ she muttered as she started rifling through the carriage. ‘I hope what’s inside WAS worth the effort.’

    Highwayman Facts                                               Figurative Language
    Some highwaymen robbed alone but others worked in
     gangs. They often targeted coaches because they did not
     have much defence, stealing money, jewellery and other
     valuable items. The penalty for robbery with violence
     was to be executed by hanging.
    Highwaymen started to decline in the 1800's. Reasons
     include better policing of roads, gated toll-roads, and the
     availability of affordable handguns by common citizens.
    A highwayman rode a horse, and usually carried a
     pistol. A robber who had no horse was called a footpad.
    Although not all highwaymen commanded their victims
     to "stand and deliver", or said "Your money or your
     life", they are often popularly associated with these
     famous phrases.
    Well-known highwaymen's haunts included several
     places around London: Blackheath and nearby Shooter's
     Hill, Hounslow Heath, and Wimbledon and Barnes
     Commons.
    The legendary highwayman is usually described as a
     gentleman. This does not, however, mean that the
     robber was born into a higher class. Instead, historical
     fiction may paint him as coming from a higher- or
     lower-class family but depict him as having the
     manners, habits and dress of a gentleman. This thief
     typically covers his face with a kerchief and threatens
     his victims, usually with weapons, into handing over
     their valuables.
