To celebrate Roald Dahl Day Rooms 12 and 13 have been learning all about Roald Dahl and the reasons why he is such a significant figure in the world of children’s literature.

We have been: –

• discussing the features of his novels and comparing the characters and style with those of David Walliams
• engaging with an interactive BBC Teach lesson
• thinking about a time when we were brave
• planning our own brave characters and an obstacle for them to face for future writing
• learning to draw in the style of Quentin Blake
• Designing and describing a new interesting character to join Matilda and her classmates in their quest to defeat the horrendous Miss Trunchbull.

A busy Roald Dahl Day all round!

Please encourage your children to further explore the imaginative world of these and many other fantastic novelists by reading for pleasure at home.
