2. THE ROALD DAHL WORKSHOP!
We’re going to spend this first half term
creating a short story that would make Roald
Dahl proud!
We’re going to design imaginative characters
and write about their adventures that take
place in our own made-up settings.
We’re going to do all of this in less than 250
words!
3. DESIGNING YOUR MAIN CHARACTER:
Before Roald Dahl began writing his stories,
he had to come up with imaginative
characters like Matilda, James, Charlie and
all of the others.
Complete your factfile worksheet with lots of
detailed information about your made up
character.
4. MATILDA’S FACTFILE:
This is how Matilda’s factfile would look:

the eye! Brown eyes and brown hair tied with a
red ribbon.

reading. Brave and mischievous.
