The LowdownBring the magic of the Roald Dahl Museum’s award-winning schools programme straight into your classroom.
Designed to support the national curriculum for writing, your pupils will gain skills and confidence in literacy whilst learning about the creative process of the world’s number one storyteller.
Delivered by a mixture of live presentation and pre-recorded video, the sessions are lively with plenty of hands-on activities fully facilitated by your session leader.
Your class will (virtually) walk in Roald Dahl’s footsteps to discover where Roald Dahl’s characters came from, see behind the scenes at the Museum and discover some of the unique archive items that the Museum cares for.
The sessions draw on some of Roald’s best-loved books including Matilda and The BFG, but there’s no requirement for your class to have read these in advance.
Suitable for Years 2 to 8, these sessions are invaluable in developing children’s positive attitudes to reading and writing as well as supporting you in teaching your pupils to draft, edit and evaluate their writing.
“It’s easy to say ‘use your imagination’ but this has given me the tools to do that.”
- The Museum is the home of Roald Dahl’s archive and his famous Writing Hut. It’s based in the village Roald lived in for 36 years.
- Don’t worry about a thing – your session includes a 20 minute tech test before your session and follow-up activities for use in the classroom after your virtual visit.
