Do you enjoy reading?
I absolutely love reading and have read hundreds of books; my most favourite story is Matilda by Roald Dahl. I especially like it, of course, because we share the same name.
Do you take part in any school clubs?
I do Netball Club after school, I am not that good at netball but I try really hard, I also enjoy playing hockey. As well as sports clubs I also do the Maths Challenge Club and Art Club and I am much better at those!
Have you been in any plays at school?
Everyone at Crackley takes part in plays, it is just something we all do. Last summer I was in the Wizard of Oz in the Summer Production. Performing in a play is a bit scary – to be honest I would really much rather write one.
What do you want to be when you grow up?
I would really like to be an author and to write lots of books.
Do you play any instruments?
I did learn piano for a while but I now do singing lessons with Miss Pavett.
Matilda is a bright spark with a great sense of humour. She is a complete bookworm and must practically read a book a day. She can be quiet and likes to hide her talents but we coax them out of her. She is a joy to teach and has recently achieved three full Da Vinci awards for wonderful work in English, Maths and RE.
