Today is Roald Dahl day and this week we will be starting our writers workshops where we will be learning what good writers do. Roald Dahl will be one of our ‘mentor authors’. This means we will be reading some passages from Roald Dahl and identifying what made his writing and stories so effective and enjoyable. Over time we hope to use some of the techniques we find in our own writing.

Here is a picture of Dahl’s wonderful writing den, where he penned his classic stories!
