Celebrated every year on the anniversary of his birthday, the unofficial holiday celebrates all the characters created by the much loved and read children’s author whose most popular books included Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matilda and The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Year 3 had a fantastic day today celebrating by making chocolate gardens, Mintie wrapper chains and creating our own Gobblefunk words

Last Friday Years 2 and 3 set off on an excursion to Bunbury. First we visited Taffy’s Lolly Shop. We learnt from Mr Morris about old fashion candy making. He was very funny! We watched him create buttersnap and use the melting chocolate machine. We got to spend each – there were so many lollies to choose from.

Then we went to White Rocks farm in Brunswick. Mr & Mrs Partridge, who owned the farm, took us through an old classroom, old house and showed us machinery from a long time ago. Then we were amazed by the modern milking machines . It was so cool!! The cows rotate while they are milked.

We had a fantastic day and learnt so much about food production.
