Happy Birthday Roald Dahl!!

P6B have had a great day celebrating.  We read ‘Along the Corridor’  from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.  Then we watched the section in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.

Then we discussed our favourite Roald Dahl characters and created collage characters.

Throughout the morning we made lickable wallpaper from chocolate and sprinkles.

This was probably the most fun day ever. I loved making the lickable wallpaper.  Charlie, Thomas

I really enjoyed making the Roald Dahl character. Frazer and I made Augustus Gloop.  I also enjoyed making the lickable wallpaper.   Oliver R

Frazer would like to have the lickable wallpaper on his wall at home.

Rana would like to be able to break pieces off wallpaper at home and have a little taste.  She also enjoyed licking the spoon today.

Everyone is really excited to taste their wallpaper.  It looks so good.

Happy Birthday Roald Dahl.
