Matilda -- Week 10

It was fun to read this chapter which was written about Lavender's plot.

Before the first week of term was up, awesome stories about the Headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, began to filter through to the new students. Matilda and Lavender who was her new friend, standing in a corner of the playground during morning-break on the third day, were approached by a rugged ten-year-old girl called Hortensia. She started to talk about Miss Trunchbull. Matilda and Lavender heard that Miss Trunchbull confined a student in a very narrow cupboard and threw a student like a hammer. They began to feel discontented with Miss Trunchbull.

One day, Miss Honey told her students that it is the Headmistress's custom to take over the class for one period each week and she does this with every class in the school and each class has a fixed day and a fixed time. Miss Honey also told them that there is always two o'clock on Thursday afternoons in her class, so tomorrow at two o'clock Miss Trunchbull will be taking over from Miss Honey for one lesson. As soon as Lavender heard this, she started to think about her artifice to Miss Trunchbull because she longed to do something truly heroic like Matilda. She came up with a brilliant plot at home.

The next day, Lavender's plot using a newt was a great success, so her classmates were delighted because they could revenge on Miss Trunchbull.

I thought Lavender was also bright. I'm excited about reading next chapter!
