Roald Dahl day takes place on 13th of September, his birthday. I have always loved the works of Roald Dahl and find that he has a great way of tapping into children's imaginations, no matter the age!
I was lucky enough to go to the Roald Dahl museum for Roald Dahl Day. The museum is based just outside London and is where Dahl got inspiration for most of his books. It is a beautiful village and the museum is a great celebration of the life and work of Roald Dahl. I can't recommend the museum enough, especially if you love the work of Dahl. The gift shop was also a great stop at the end and we made sure to get a few resources for our classrooms. The timing of Roald Dahl Day is perfect to use as a theme for getting back to school. The Roald Dahl site has fantastic resources including a Roald Dahl quiz, which i do with my class every year. We also make a Roald Dahl display at the top of the classroom and the children are encouraged to choose a Roald Dahl book to read. The Revolting Recipe book is also a great book for the more reluctant readers. We usually choose two items to make from the book, a Plate of Soil WIth Engine Oil has been the favourite so far! We choose a day, either the 13th or as close to it as possible and we have a Roald Dahl Party. It takes up the whole day. We do everything from baking, the quiz and reading the book to art and crafts, and even solving Roald Dahl word problems! I have attached some photographs or art ideas we have used over the past few years and also links to resources. roald Dahl website: http://www.roalddahl.com/home Activity Village: http://www.activityvillage.co.uk/roald-dahlhttp://www.activityvillage.co.uk/roald-dahl Puffin Virtually live: http://www.puffinvirtuallylive.co.uk/index.php
