On Friday 13th September St Colmcille's Primary School celebrated Roald Dahl Day - a special day to remember the talented author who wrote many children's books. 

Roald Dahl died on 23rd November 1990. Every year, since the 13th September 2006 - on what would have been his birthday - there's a special Roald Dahl Day to celebrate his wonderful stories and their unique characters. 

The boys and girls spent the day learning all about Roald Dahl's extraordinary life, reading some of his popular stories and participating in a range of creative and engaging activities. 

Each class received a 'Golden Ticket' which was awarded to one pupil for enthusiasm, positive input and impressive effort. This Golden Ticket earned the winning pupil a homework pass for one evening and one extra hour of golden time.

Congratulations to all our Golden Ticket winners!
