Matilda book report

This book report has beeen written by Y6 ESOL students at Milford School, who have been going to an English speaking school for less than a year.
Matilda is a genius girl, who reads lots of books. She teaches herself how to read and longs to read books.She has a brother, Michael and mean, dishonest parents.Matilda’s father, Mr Wormwood, sells the second-hand cars illegally, and Matilda doesn’t like it.As her parents get mean to her, she decides to punish them. She borrows a parrot (Choppy) from her friend, Fred, to scare her parents. Finally, Matilda’s parents asked her to go to school.She went to the school with the worst headmistress ever. While Miss Trunchbull, the headmistress, treats children as stupid dogs, Matilda meets the kindest teacher, Miss Honey. Miss Honey wants to know how much Matilda knows about basic multiplication. When Matilda says she knows all of it, Miss Honey is surprised. Miss Honey asks Miss Trunchbull if Matilda could move her to higher grade, but Miss Trunchbull refuses. After that, Miss Honey brings some hard books for Matilda to read while the others are learning multiplications. A few weeks later, when Miss Trunchbull comes to her class to teach them, Matilda sees Miss Trunchbull treating class badly and she makes her first miracle by making newt jump on to Miss Trunchbull.
Miss Trunchbull thinks Matilda put a newt in her jug, and keeps being mean to her. When Miss Honey tells Matilda that Miss Trunchbull is her aunt, Matilda comes with a plan to scare Miss Trunchbull away. Matilda asks Miss Honey about Miss Honey’s dad and Miss Trunchbull’s name. Matilda practises her plan again and again with her eyes. When Matilda is used to her power, Miss Trunchbull came to Matilda’s class to check them.
When Miss Trunchbull punishes Matilda’s friend, Matilda uses her power to write a message to Miss Trunchbull, pretending to be Magnus, Miss Honey’s father and Miss Trunchbull gets scared and runs away. Miss Honey gets her father’s house. By that time, Matilda’s parents get sued and try to run away to Spain, and Matilda gets adopted to Miss Honey. And they lived happily ever after.
