The Roald Dahl After-School Event

This afternoon, some Year 7 students celebrated Roald Dahl Day 2021 with an after-school event in the Library. Students had the opportunity to sign up for an afternoon of activities themed around Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Stations were set up around the Library as the different rooms from Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

The Inventing Room was where students could have a go at making a 'The Witches' inspired lava lamp using water, vegetable oil, food colouring and an effervescent tablet! They chose the colours they wanted to create, by mixing the food colouring and watching them fizz!

Students got the opportunity to decorate a chocolate bar wrapper inspired by a Wonka bar in The Chocolate Room. Some included ingredients such as 100% cocoa bean or love! They were pleased with their wrapper designs and even got to keep the chocolate bar to eat afterwards!

Miss Dodds put out a selection of Roald Dahl's popular books that we have in the Library for students to read in The Reading Room. Do you have a favourite Roald Dahl book? Miss Dodds' favourite is definitely Matilda.

The last 'room' available was The Puzzle Room, where students could have a go at some puzzling word puzzles like crosswords and word-searches. These are still available in the Library for you to have a go at during lunch time or break time this week so if you weren't able to attend the after-school event, pop along to the Library to have a go.

There is also a competition running in the Library to coincide with Roald Dahl Day - 'Design a new room for the factory'. Collect an entry sheet from the Library and make sure you enter to be in with a chance of winning a Roald Dahl themed prize!
