YOUNGSTERS celebrated the birthday of a famous author by eating Wonka chocolate bars and drinking Phiz Wizzers.

Years three and four at Walliscote Primary School marked the special day in honour of the late Roald Dahl, who went to school in Weston.

The author was the brain behind timeless children’s classics like Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, George’s Marvellous Medicine and The BFG.

Youngsters also dressed up as their favourite characters to mark the occasion at the Walliscote Road site.
