Year 5 visit Beamish this week as part of their English work based around Alfred Noyes' classic poem 'The Highwayman'.
They took part in a workshop where they had to piece together clues to solve a highway robbery that had taken place at a nearby post room.
Beamish is always great fun and it was a perfect opportunity for the children to really immerse themselves in the time and world the poem is set.
