Roald Dahl Day - 13th September
Roald Dahl wrote many books for children so we have selected a few resources from our collection to highlight some of the famous stories. Activities suitable for 'The Witches' could include 'Identifying food from its smell' for primary aged children and 'Is there witchcraft and wizardry in the real world?' for secondary pupils. Meanwhile primary aged pupils could investigate the temperature that chocolate melts at as a link to 'Charlie and the chocolate factory' or look at turtle life cycles as an activity to cover 'Esio Trot'.
