Here in Year 1 and 2 we are ready and raring to go, and what better way to start the new school year off than with a fantastic, marvellous, Dahlicious dress-up day to celebrate the achievements of the incredible author Roald Dahl. As you may be able to tell, Mrs Chilvers and Miss Hawker have gone a bit Roald Dahl mad with our curriculum (and classroom!) this term and the children certainly seem to be enjoying getting involved so far! Here are a few photos to let you know what we've been getting up to already...

We also thought about the characters of Mr Hoppy and Mrs Silver and even learned how to write in tortoise! Ew era yrev doog ta ti won!
On Roald Dahl's birthday, Tuesday 13th September, we had a Roald Dahl Day party, and played party games including Boggis, Bunce and Bean (a bit like Duck, Duck Goose!)
We also played 'Pin the Newt on Miss Trunchbull'!
And we got a bit slimy and sticky playing Mrs Twit's Wormy Spaghetti!
In the classroom we also made our own Dream Jars for the BFG:

Then we wrote some descriptive phrases about the ingredients we put into our medicines...
