6th Class had an absolutely brilliant day last Friday. We are so excited to tell you all about the great things we did to celebrate Roald Dahl Day. Roald Dahl is one of the best children’s writers and we love his stories. We have Roald Dahl day on September 13th as that was his birthday. We remembered our favourite people and places in his books. These are some of the things we did.

1. We had a joke competition because Ms. Brennan told us that one of Roald Dahl’s famous lines is that ‘A little nonsense now and then is cherished by the wisest men!’. This means that even if you are very old and clever that it is important to laugh. Leon won the competition and we had a laugh-o-meter! Would you like to hear his joke?

2. We then recorded a general podcast about the life of Roald Dahl. It’s an interesting one, have a listen!

3.  We made dream jars to look like the dreams the BFG makes for children. Don’t they look nice?

4. We’re also reading ‘The Witches’ by Roald Dahl at the moment!

6th Class have had a 'vunderful' morning of acting out the lines of The Grand High 'Vitch' in 'The Vitches' by Roald Dahl!

5. We decided to write some sentence backwards because Roald did that a lot! Esio Trot is a story by Roald Dahl and he has lots of parts of it backwards. It was great fun. Can you understand what our message says?

Our last activity before sos was trying to write words backwards like Roald did in Esio Trot! Can you see the words? pic.twitter.com/aEKDiXh1M3

6. We also made George’s Marvellous Medicine smoothies! They were delicious and so, so healthy!

7. We also watched a really cool video about the life of Roald Dahl.

We watched this great film about Roald Dahl, narrated by @MichaelRosenYes. Have a look! http://t.co/8B3sWe8ejW … From Sam & Jade #RoaldDahl

8. Finally, we wore some yellow ribbon because yellow was Roald’s favourite colour. Everyone was stopping us and asking us why we were wearing yellow. We had to explain why and everyone knew then why we were wearing yellow, to remember Roald Dahl.

We hope you like our post. We worked hard on our Roald Dahl activities. Do you have a favourite Roald Dahl book? Why not let us know which is your favourite in the comments box?
