​As a teacher, educator, and one of the armies of people who are there to manage and inspire learning you’ll probably know that Roald Dahl Day has its own special day on 13th September.

“The Dahlicious Dress Up Day is part of Roald Dahl Day celebrations on 13th September. Schools and groups across the globe dress up as their favourite Roald Dahl hero, hold a party, and [if they wish to] donate their marvellous money to Roald Dahl’s Marvellous Children’s Charity.”
