Epic Tales Online is back for the 20-21 Academic Year! And we're kicking off with a charmingly repulsive tale that would have delighted Roald Dahl – not just because the baker in this tale is hideously wicked, but because the tale itself comes from his home town of Great Missenden!
It's doubly perfect for starting September, though. First, it's full of learning outcomes perfect for helping a new class to settle in.
And second, 13th September is of course Roald Dahl Day!
