Hi, my name is Katie and I'm 8 years old. I recently went on a super fun trip to the birthplace of Roald Dahl, the famous author. It was in the city of Cardiff, which is in Wales, a country in the United Kingdom. The place where Roald Dahl was born is called Llandaff, a lovely little village near Cardiff.
- We visited the Roald Dahl Plass, a public plaza in Cardiff Bay dedicated to the author. It was so cool to see statues of characters from his books!

After reading James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, how about creating your own piece of writing based on the book? Perhaps you may prefer to write a book review of the book instead? Another idea might be to give a summary of the book or create a picture that summarises the book. Perhaps you could redesign the book cover? Whatever you or your teacher decides you try and do, good luck!
