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!”
