We had lots of fun today as part of ‘Roald Dahl Day’.  This special day falls on the 13th of September each year as that is the date that he was born.  During this day, schools up and down the country celebrate his life and his wonderful books.  So, what did we do ?

As part of the celebrations we heard the excellent story, ‘The Enormous Crocodile’.  We all enjoyed the story so much, (giving it a rating of 5 out of 5) that we wrote book reviews, drew our favourite part of the story and retold the story in our own words.

Keilidh drew and painted the Enormous Crocodile which we used on our frieze, (this is in the main corridor).

As well as looking at this book, we also spoke about some of Roald Dahl’s other famous books including, ‘The Twits’, ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’, and ‘The BFG’.  Thank you to Leo for bringing in his box set of books for us to look at.  In the afternoon we joined the rest of the school to watch a theatre company perform ‘Matilda’.  As Roald Dahl himself used to say, ‘It has been a whoopsy-splunker day’.  This translated means, ‘It has been a fantastic day’.

Some book reviews.

Our frieze so far …
