Roald Dahl Website


Danielle has just messaged me to recommend the Roald Dahl website. You can find it at: http://www.roalddahl.com/
There are all sorts of things to explore on it including tips for writing, outlines of his books, cool facts and even a teacher section. I took the test 'Are you a Miss Honey or a Miss Trunchbull?' - lucky Rm 22 - I am a Miss Honey:-D
This is his recommendation for writing:
"As you write your own stories, I would keep three things in mind:1. Don't ever bore your reader.2. Don't worry if you don't have the whole story worked out in your head before you start. The story will grow as you write if you use your imagination.3. Give yourself enough time to write. Work on your story at home. Lie in bed and think about how your story could develop. Good ideas are very hard to come by. I couldn't write anything worth reading in an hour or class period." ROALD DAHL
There is an activity on invented words that you might like to do as part of your home learning:
