Year 7 students from Somervale School took part in an annual celebration of the life of famous children's author, Roald Dahl, by coming to school dressed up as their favourite Roald Dahl book character.

The Roald Dahl Dahlicious Dress-up Day held on Thursday, 25th September saw the school taken over by Oompa-Loompas, Big Friendly Giants and Giant Peaches as Year 7 students and the English Department joined in the fun and learning to raise awareness of the joy of reading and books.

All proceeds raised went to 'Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity', providing funding for specialist nurses and equipment for seriously ill children.
