Roald Dahl Day
Friday 13th September 2019
St
Joseph’s Catholic Primary School, Highgate, celebrated Roald Dahl Day with a
dazzling display of costumes. Every year we celebrate the birthday of the
World’s No.1 Story-teller with our children coming to school dressed as their
favourite characters from Roald Dahl’s stories. It was a ‘whizzpopper’
celebration with fun quizzes, games and costume prizes.
The
children had an opportunity to parade their costumes in a whole-school assembly.
Each class had the daunting task of selecting the best costumes which were
awarded ‘Willy Wonka Golden Ticket’ style book vouchers. All the winners are
invited to our Book Fair next month when they will exchange their Golden
Tickets for a book of their choice.
The
children showed amazing creativity in both their choice of characters and in
hand-making their costumes. We had children coming as Roald Dahl himself and
one child even came as the actual book ‘The BFG’!! Of course, we also had a
troop of Fantastic Mr Foxes and numerous Mr and Mrs Twits.
