know you’re teacher Agatha Trunchbull.

Daphne - Now get off to bed little bookworm!
Naughty
Cezara - Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail
of water, So they, The subsequent fall was
inevitable, They never stood a chance they were
written that way. I wonder why they didn’t just
change their story. We’re told we have to do what
we’re told but surely, Sometimes you have to be a
little bit naughty!
(Eliza walks across the stage with sign.)

Clara - Once Agatha Trunchbull desides you’re
guilty your dead!
Daphne - They’re saying she’s going to put me in
the chokey.
Matilda - What’s the chokey?
Chokey Chant
All: there’s a place you are sent if you haven’t been
good, and it’s made of spikes and wood and it isn’t
wide enough to sit and even if you could, there are
nails at the bottom so you wish you stood, when the
hinge creek and the door is closed. You cannot see
squat not the end of your nose and when you
scream, you don’t know if the sound came out, or if
the scream in your head even reached your mouth.
Cezara - Alright, when did this happen.
Daphne - Twenty minutes ago, why.
Cezara - Quick,Hide.
Lilly - Where is Nigel
Cezara - Under those coats where he’s been for an
hour.
Lilly - Oh ok. Amanda Thrip!

main thing.
Clara - Is it?
Lilly - Yes, Bogtrotter, it is.
Bruce - Ok,I did,Thanks
Lilly - wonderful. Marvellous. That makes me so
happy, it makes me feel a warm glow in my lower
intestine. Oh, Coo-ook! What’s the
matter,Bogtrotter? Lost your appetite?
Clara - Im full.
Bruce
All: a single slice or even two, Bruce, might’ve been
nice. But even you, Bruce, have to admit. Between
you and it, there’s not a lot of difference in size.
Don’t let her win! Come on Bruce, be our hero, cover
yourself in chocolate glory!
Amelie - Go Brucie! yes! Yes! Sorry, Miss
Trunchbull.I got carried away.
When I Grow Up
All: when I grow up, I will be tall enough to reach the
branches that’s I need to reach to climb the trees.
You get to climb when you’re grown-up and when I
grow up I will be smart enough to answer all the
questions that you need to know the answers to
when you’re a grown-up. And when I grow up, I will
eat sweets every day on the way to work and I will
go to bed late every night and I will wake up when
the Sun comes up and I will watch cartoon cartoons
until my eyes go and I won’t care cause I’ll be all
grown up. When I grow up.
Scene.4
Lilly - look at you. Flappy! Disgusting! revolting!
Revolting, I say! I think it’s time we’re tough and you
all up a little…Phys-Ed.
The smell of rebellion
Lilly: this school, of late, has started wreaking, quiet,
maggots, when I’m speaking!Reeking with the most
disturbing sent. Only the fine nostril smell it, but I
know it’s all too well, it is the odour of rebellion, it’s
the bouquet of descent. The smell of rebellion
comes out in the sweat, and Phys Ed will get you
sweating. And it won’t be long before I smell the
pong of Aiding and abetting. A bit of Phys Ed will tell
us who has a head full of rebellious [Link]
Hold. Just like rotten egg float to the top of a bucket
of water. A with of insurgence, the sense of intent,
the reek of re pubescent protest. The funk of
defiance,the odour of coup,the waft of anarchy in
progress. Once we’ve exercise these Demons, they
shall be to pooped for scheming. Some double time
discipline should stop the rot from setting in.
Let’s step it up double time. 1,2,3,4
Discipline, discipline, the children who aren’t
listening, the miss? I need a tissue. It’s an issue we
can fix. There is no mystery to master in the art of
classroom, mistressing. It’s discipline, discipline,
discipline. The smell of Rebellion the stench of
revolt, the week of pre-pubescent, a wiff of
resistance, the pong of descent, the funk of moral
fiber rotting.
All: the smell of rebellion and the sense of revolt the
week of insubordination, a whiff of resistance, the
pong of descent,
Lilly; and I will not stop till you are squashed till this
rebellion is quashed. Tell glorious sweaty discipline
has washed this sickening stench away.
Quiet
Daphne: have you ever wondered, well I have,
about how when? I say, say red, for example, there’s
no way of knowing if red means the same thing in
your head red means in my head when someone
says red?
Daphne - Go on. Tip…tip over…tip…tip over!
Lilly - What is it? what is it? The newt. It’s heading
north! I’ve got a newt in my knickers! I’ve got a newt
in my knickers!
Amelie - That was interesting we all better go home.
Scene.5
Cezara - Look there’s writing on the chalk board!
All: Agatha, this is Magnus.
Lilly: No it can’t be!
All: give my Jenny back her house, then leave, or I
will get you, like you got me!
Lilly; No
All: run run run run run run run!
Revolting children
Bruce: woah! Never again will you get the best of
me, never again will she take away my freedom, and
we won’t forget the day we
All: fought for the right to be a little bit naughty never
