Roald Dahl Day at Lime Grove

There were ‘swashboggling’ celebrations at Lime Grove Day Nursery in Hemel Hempstead as children dressed up as beloved storybook characters to mark the annual Roald Dahl Day.

Celebrated each year on the iconic author’s birthday, children and colleagues from the Ofsted-rated ‘Outstanding’ Day Nursery on Park Road were delighted to showcase their creativity with costumes from his famous works, including Matilda, The Enormous Crocodile and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as taking part in a series of themed activities.

From creating their very own marvellous medicine, to making Roald Dahl inspired arts and crafts using recycled materials and reading some of his captivating tales, there were exciting learning opportunities at every turn for the group of young book lovers.

Lime Grove Day Nursery Team Leader, Robyn Shuck explained;

“We had a fantastic day immersing ourselves in the magical world of Roald Dahl and celebrating all that the occasion had to offer. We hope to nurture a life-long love of reading in our children and these activities are also brilliant for capturing the imagination, building literary confidence and developing communication skills.”
