What an exciting adventure for our Year 1 children in Roald Dahl Class! As you can imagine, there was simply no better opportunity for us than a trip to see The Enormous Crocodile at Nottingham Theatre Royal — after all, our class has proudly been celebrating all things Roald Dahl this year!
A Special Day to Remember
The children will be taking part in a wonderful theatre experience, bringing to life one of Roald Dahl’s much-loved stories. This is a fantastic opportunity to spark imagination, deepen their love of storytelling, and experience live performance in a real theatre setting.

Supporting Your Child
To help the children feel confident and prepared, I will be sharing a social story with them ahead of the trip. This will explain:
- Where we are going
- How we are travelling
- What will happen during the visit
- Expected behaviour
Please take some time to look through this with your child at home — it will really help them feel secure and excited about the experience.
We are so looking forward to a fun-filled and memorable day out. It promises to be a fantastic experience for the children and a perfect way to celebrate our Roald Dahl learning journey together!
