Group Script Extract:

NARRATOR: Matilda had always wanted to go to school. She tried to imagine what her new school would be like. She pictured a lovely building, surrounded by trees and flowers. There was a building. And children! Regardless of how the school looked, she was happy to be there. After all, any school is better than no school at all. Isn’t it?

MISS TRUNCHBULL: You… detention. You’re too small. Grow up quicker! Heads up! Shoulders back!

HORTENSIA Sorry.

(The children whisper to each other for fear Miss Trunchbull might hear them)

LAVENDER: It’s better than being out there.

MATILDA: Is that my teacher?

HORTENSIA No, that’s the principal.

LAVENDER: The principal likes to snap a whip in here to see who’s hiding.

MATILDA: (To Lavender) I’m Matilda.

LAVENDER: Lavender.

HORTENSIA I’m Hortensia.

MATILDA: Does she really hit children?

HORTENSIA No. What she does is worse. Like yesterday, in the second grade. She makes weekly visits to show the teachers how to handle kids.
