It’s no secret that we love Roald Dahl in St Peter’s. Roald Dahl Day was celebrated in great style by 2nd class at the start of the year, we choose a Roald Dahl fairytale for the school play every year and we even have Roald Dahl month every year. This year, Roald Dahl month fell in February and 5th class chose to read Matilda. Our chapter of Matilda every morning has become one of our favourite parts of the day and we’ve only one chapter left.
Roald Dahl loves language and word-play and we enjoyed reading his words aloud! To celebrate World Book Day, we all chose an extract from ‘Matilda’ and read it aloud. You can listen to both podcasts below! Well done to Ben, who led the podcast today.
Happy World Book Day! What’s your favourite book?
