Miss Honey

Do you really think Matilda should be moved up to the year 7s? Why?

Yes. I do believe Matilda should be moved up to the 11 year olds. Reason being she has answered many questions and done many tasks that show that she is a very gifted student.

Do you think Miss Trunchbull is being fair?

I think it is fair to say the students should stay in their own year group but I think the rule of ‘regardless of ability’ is unfair to our students that are really special and talented.

Are you afraid to talk to Miss Trunchbull?

Usually I am very afraid to speak to Miss Trunchbull but knowing that Matilda is so gifted I wasn’t afraid to speak to her today.

What makes you different from Miss Trunchbull?

I think that I’m different from Miss Trunchbull because I care more for the children.

How smart do you think Matilda is?

I think Matilda is very smart and gifted. She’s a very intelligent child. Much above her age level.

Is Matilda your favourite student?

I’m not sure.

What year level do you teach?

I teach 6 years olds, this means year 1.

What was the poem type that Matilda read to you?

Matilda first read me a poem that was in the style of a limerick.
