The children at St
Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Highgate, came to school on Monday 14th
September dressed as characters from Roald Dahl stories. We were greeted by a
lot of excited children at the school gates eager to show their costumes and
join in with the ‘whizzpopper’ quizzes, games and costume prizes.
This annual event to
celebrate the birthday of the world-famous storyteller is a fantastic
opportunity to encourage an early love of words and reading. It was especially
positive to come together to celebrate as a school community after such a long
break.
Each class had the
difficult task of selecting the best costumes to be awarded a Willy Wonka style
“golden ticket” book voucher. This year the children’s creativity in choosing characters
and making their own costumes really shone out as along with the array of
Fantastic Mr Foxes and Matildas we had a Great Glass Elevator and a Peach!
It is an important day
in the school calendar as it inspires our children to share a love of stories.
“We had a truly
magical and ‘Dahlicious’ day!”
Roald Dahl DaySunday 13th September
Monday 14th September DRESS-UP DAY Years 1 - 6
Roald Dahl Day takes place on 13th September every year and marks the anniversary of the birth of the world’s number one storyteller. Roald Dahl wrote 39 books for children and adults, creating many characters such as Charlie Bucket, Matilda Wormwood, the Twits and the BFG.
To celebrate we invite children in Years 1 – 6 to come to school on Monday 14th September dressed as their favourite Roald Dahl character. We will be organising various ‘phizz-whizzing’ activities and there will be a COMPETITION for the best costumes. The winners will each receive a ‘splendiferous’ Roald Dahl book.
So, remember to don your Willy Wonka top hat or your fantastic bushy Mr Fox tail for a Dahlicious Dress-up Day! Don't forget, yellow was Roald Dahl's favourite colour so you can join in the Dahlicious Dress Up Day by wearing anything yellow.
