In the eleventh chapter, Bruce Bogtrotter was called out for sneaking into the kitchen and eating Miss Trunchbull's private chocolate cake. So, Miss Trunchbull held an assembly and forced Bruce Bogtrotter to eat a giant chocolate cake as a consequence.

In the twelfth chapter, Miss Honey tells the class that Miss Trunchbull will be visiting the class to see how well the students have been taught. Lavender takes this chance to trick Miss Trunchbull and capture and put a newt in her cup of water.

In the thirteenth chapter, Miss Trunchbull finally visits Miss Honey's class and tests them on their spelling, multiplication and reading skills. Miss Trunchbull punishes the children whenever they get it wrong, and is confused by Matilda's wisdom.
