We started with ‘The Highwayman’ visiting our class, then looked at the figurative language used to create a spooky atmosphere. The class have now started to write their own poems based on the same poetic style. #evolve #embrace ### The Highwayman [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4269.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4269.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4273.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4273.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4268.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4268.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4266.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4266.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4264.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/gallery/the-highwayman/IMG_4264.jpeg) [ Year 2 - The Great Fire of London workshop](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-11-09-15-year-2-the-great-fire-of-london-workshop) [Reception- Circles and triangles ](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/blog/2025-11-12-04-29-reception-circles-and-triangles) ![Delph Side Community Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/delph-side-community-primary-school/images/logo/Untitled_design_(10).png) #### Delph Side Community Primary School Eskdale Tanhouse Skelmersdale Lancashire WN8 6ED 01695 721881 #### Useful Links - [Ofsted Report](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/our-school/ofsted-report) - [Term Dates](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/termdates) - [Contact Us](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/contact) #### Social Media - [Facebook](http://facebook.com/Delph-Side-Community-Primary-School-584597861558880/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/delphside/) © Copyright 2018–2026 Delph Side Community Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://delphside.lancs.sch.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
