Dream a Little Dream of Me

We had a week of magical celebrations for the one true hero of children's books—Roald Dahl. To celebrate his birthday on 13th September, we had a week packed with epic things; there was a daily fun filled scavenger hunt searching for elusive ‘Golden Tickets’, with the gloriumptious prizes of fizz-popping and whizz-banging sweets, sweets… and more sweets!

The LRC showed it's Roald Dahl colours with a dahlicious display of some of Dahl's best works, including the novels such as ‘The BFG’ (my  personal favourite) ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ and ‘Matilda’ (Leane's favourite).

The final touch was the Craft Club making Dream Jars for the display, sharing student’s dreams and giving off that true childhood enchantment we all experienced through reading Roald Dahl.

Roald Dahl Day

Hello to all you mischief makers! September was Roald Dahl's birth month and this year Roald Dahl Day was held on Sunday 13th September 2015. It marks a month long celebration of all things Roald Dahl.

To join in with all the phizzwizardry, the LRC took some inspiration from some Roald Dahl favourites - The BFG and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Throughout the week, 'Golden Tickets' where hidden around the college for unsuspecting students to uncover and the lucky finders of the tickets won some fantabulous prizes. Check out a few of our winners in the photos below.

Then in our Cre8ivity Session on Thursday after college, we made The BFG's 'Dream Jars' (and there wasn't a trogglehumper to be seen!).

Don't forget that you can always follow in the marvellous Matilda's footsteps and take books out of the LRC when you need them. Wishing you all a peachy weekend!

Roald Dahl Day

September is Roald Dahl's birth month, and each year is celebrated with a wonderful array of events centred around his birthday on 13th September - the official Roald Dahl Day. In 2014, it also marks the 50th anniversary of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

To commemorate both Roald Dahl Day and the anniversary of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, there will be Golden Tickets hidden around the college throughout the week. If you are a lucky finder of a Golden Ticket, then bring it along to the LRC for some fantabulous prizes. To keep up to date with the hunt, follow the LRC online Twitter feed - @SouthSeftonLRC to get clues and news about the elusive tickets. Happy hunting!
