Roald Dahl Day is 13 September
Wednesday 13 September is Roald Dahl Day. It would have been Roald Dahl's 90th birthday, so the first ever Roald Dahl Day is being celebrated around the country.
Here in school look out for Flushbunking Facts about the Number 90 in the Maths Department, or you may be treated to an extract from one of his books in an English lesson. Your History teacher might tell you some Frothbungling Facts about the World in 1916, the year he was born – or maybe you can tell them! Your form teacher will have a selection of fun quizzes to do, such as the Fizzwiggling First Lines Quiz, or the Gigantuous Dahl Character Quiz. But you might also find yourself inventing an Oompa–Loompa dance to warm up in PE, or facing a scrumdiddlyumptious Willy Wonka drink in the dining room at lunchtime. When you go home why not re-read one of your favourite Roald Dahl books?
