Week #44 - Tineke

It was speech day and my body was shaking with fear. Was I going to get in, or was I going to make a fool of myself? "First up," called the judge, "Molly Smith". Phew...it wasn't me. As I listened to Molly deliver her speech I became jealous, She was AMAZING. After her speech I heard the audience chanting her name. I knew that they were going to chant my name too. "Next up Tineke." I walked on the stage, butterflies in my tummy. Then the crowd erupted with laughter. It worked, the audience laughed and I came first.

Week #44 - Noah

Roar! The yeti chased me down the steep mountain. Even though I was running at full speed I could hear him catching up. Then when I thought all hope was lost I saw a parachute on the edge of the mountain. I looked behind and the yeti had stubbed his humongous toe, so I ran toward the parachute. When I got there I looked behind and the yeti was coming, at the speed of light I put on the parachute and jumped! When I reached safety I went to a bar and told everyone, then the crowd erupted with laughter.

Week #44 - Nixie

One cold circus night a crowd bunched up on seats to watch the amazing hornet (an elephant) and the two wonky clowns. “I wonder who would like to join us on stage…?” said a wonky clown. They looked around and pointed at a small boy. He ran down the slick steel stairs and on the platform the clowns found a heavy briefcase but they couldn't pick it up then the small boy picked it up and the clowns were shocked and when the small boy gave it to the clowns they immediately dropped it, then the crowed erupted with laughter!

Week #44 - Venice

I sprinted across the field, trying to catch the ball that escaped Natalie’s hands. Suddenly, the opposing team snatched the ball before I could lay a finger on it. They tried to shoot but the ball bounced on the ring and into my hands. I swiftly turned around and passed it to Anna. (who had outrun her partner) I ran forward and did a quick pass back and shot the ball in the goal. Then the crowd erupted with laughter. Then I realised, I had the wrong ball! I used a little rubber ball! My cheeks flushed scarlet. Uh oh! 

Week #44 - Venus

My heart thumped like thunder, I walked up to the stage. I breathed slowly but instead let out a croaky noise. My face turned beetroot, then the crowd erupted with laughter . They’ll regret it, I thought. I started reciting my poem into the microphone. The judges gazed at me with awe. I said the last words. Scribble their pens went. I sat down. That one mistake ruined everything. A few moments passed of them whispering. A judge stood up ,walked towards the stage then spoke clearly into the microphone, “The winner is... Amelia Rosebank!” I knew they would regret laughing.

Week #44 - Kiko

Luckily, my speech was next. Unluckily, the person in front of me was taking hours … Luckily, I could go onstage for my speech. Unluckily, my mum was sitting in the front row, humiliating me. Luckily, I was almost done with my speech before I noticed she was  videotaping me. Unluckily, I realised at the end of my speech I was only in my  underwear! Then the crowd erupted with laughter. Luckily, I zoomed out of there before anyone took photos. Unfortunately, my mum was videotaping me, so my undies are now a permanent part of my history, and...  THE INTERNET.  

Week #44 - Kayleigh

One sunny morning I was walking down the street with my dog Lily when I saw a huge, yellow and red striped tent.  I thought to myself, “what could it be?”  Suddenly I heard laughter coming from inside the weird thing.  I was amazed by the sight when I entered the room, it was a circus!  Then the crowd erupted with laughter.  “Haha, so funny”.  I quickly grabbed a seat near the exit, and told Lily to be quiet so she wouldn't get sent out.  One long lasting hour went by while we were in the tent eating buttered popcorn! 

Week #44 - Roaness

I heard the crowd roar as they were cheering for the enormous elephant who made the funniest joke I’ve ever heard in my life. The breezy wind flowed down my spine, I felt a shiver like it was an earthquake in my little body. As time went by there was only one more animal to go and his name was Croc-Anater. His joke was hilarious, so much so that just then the crowd erupted with laughter . It was the end of the show, I felt the calm, cold breeze again. I went jogging home carefully as it was quite windy.

Week #44 - Sophia

'Aaaaa' I yelled. I slipped on a banana peel, then the crowd erupted with laughter as they saw that I fell. It was so hilarious that I was laughing so much I found that it was hard to breathe. I heard the screams of the people saying 'More!' Then a chant started. I couldn't let them down so I did more  throwing pies into clowns and riding a little car. I wondered what it would be like if I was a clown that would be amazing. I could make anyone laugh and be happy so I decided to be a...
