Roald Dahl Week

Last week was Book Week at school and the theme was Roald Dahl.  While a few Roald Dahl books are common children's lit in the States (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, James and the Giant Peach...), his books are much more popular here.  Lane felt the need to get "ready" for the week, so she increased her intake of the author's works... reading The BFG and The Magic Finger.  Ryan and I also worked our way through The BFG over the last couple of weeks.  The kids were treated to special assemblies and extra treats (including various "revolting recipes") and had the chance to dress up on Thursday.  Here are a couple of photos of "Matilda" and my Big Friendly Giant. 

Just four days of school this week, then the kiddos are off for half term (and we get to spend a couple of days in Barcelona)!
