On Friday 11th September. Teachers shared a range of information about Roald Dahl himself and explored, with the children, why his stories are still so popular.
Roald Dahl had a unique way of writing children's books, usually told from the point of view of a child. His characters are larger than life with unusual names, unpleasant habits or special abilities. He always introduces us to a hero and makes us hope for them to have a happy ending. Even his worst, most horrid characters are always full of humour. We recommend families sharing some of these at home if you haven't already had the pleasure.
Classes focused further on one of Dahl's many brilliant titles, The BFG. Children explored how the BFG catches dreams and how he transfers them to jars. Children then wrote their personal dreams (goals) on jar templates.
