In Grade 3 we have been reading Matilda by Roald Dahl for literature.

The reviews are in: A+ for Matilda!

I like how Matilda is a genius and how the Principal is strict. - Sophia

The Wormwoods don’t care about anyone but themselves. The dad scams and

the mum only watches TV. I’m glad I don’t have parents like that. – Aidan

Matilda is a smart girl who enjoys reading. Miss Trunchbull is a rude despicable character who hates children and nobody knows why she is a Principal. Luckily Mrs Paterson is a good principal. – Amelie

Matilda is a kind, smart and loving child but her principal Miss Trunchbull is

a big, fat beast – Zacharia

Matilda is a smart and clever child. She likes to read hard books like

Gone to Earth. – Olivia

I like how Matilda always reads books and chooses ‘books’ over ‘looks’,

but Miss Trunchbull is a big bully and she is so rude. – Matteo

Mr Wormwood is a little cheat. He makes the cars he buys look new to fool

people that come to his car yard to buy a car. -Benjamin C

she looms above her students. – Henny

I hate Miss Trunchbull because she is sooo rude to nice kids. I’m glad Mrs Paterson

Matilda is a kind little girl, but Miss Trunchbull is the ugly beast of the school.
