September 13th was Roald Dahl Day. We all enjoyed Roald Dahl day in school, we all wore something yellow to school because yellow was Roald Dahl's favourite colour. We wrote our own revolting rhymes, we sketched Roald Dahl, we did a fact file on Roald Dahl, we wrote about a medicine that we would create inspired by the story 'George's Marvellous Medicine', we had fun with backwards writing inspired by Roald Dahl's book 'Esio Trot', we created sweets that would be worthy of Willy Wonka and we created our own Gobblefunk swishwiffling words insipred by the story 'The BFG'.
