Thank you to all the pupils, parents and staff who took part in the first ever Dahlicious Dress Up Day on Friday 30th September 2011. Children (and teachers) dressed up as Charlie, Boggis, Matilda, Miss Trunchbull, Willy Wonka, The Twits, Fantastic Mr Fox, the Enormous Crocodile, the Big Friendly Giant, Oompa-Loompas and all kinds of phizz-whizzing characters to raise money for seriously ill and disabled children.

If you've received your event pack and want to tell us you're taking part email us on schools@roalddahlcharity.org or call a friendly human bean on 01494 890 465.
