Today we started working with Matilda and we discussed the importance of knowing the author of a story it will help us understand the plot and the characters better. This is the case of Roald Dahl, whose stories are highly influenced by his personal life. 

Here are some facts about this fantastic writer...

Then, we read this beautiful poem his unique "Cahrlie and The Chocolate Factory"...

Finally, we watched an extract from the movie "Willy Wonka", in which Gene Wilder interprets the poem beautifully...
