Our class had an absolutely wonderful time celebrating Roald Dahl Day in September! To honour the beloved author, we dived headfirst into the world of “The Twits” through an exciting integrated literacy, drama and art lesson.
We started by reading descriptive extracts from the book, focusing closely on the characters. The class then stepped into the characters' shoes, using their best acting skills to reenact short, funny scenes from the novel.
Our main focus, however, was the infamous Mr. Twit and his messy food-filled beard! We explored all the gross details of the food that gets trapped in his beard. Then, the children let their creativity shine in art. Everyone drew food items and had a fantastic time decorating his beard.
The children thoroughly enjoyed celebrating the magic of Roald Dahl! 📖
