The Commentator by Clara

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Welcome to the annual Sports Day,
Where the contestants are warming up now for the egg and spoon race.
In the line-up we have: Timmy, Lucy, Robbie and Barbara.
The headteacher is setting up the eggs and making sure they have not been tampered with.

The parents are very excited,
Lucy’s mum is holding up a banner with her child’s name on it.
She is now being told off for trash-talking Timmy, Robbie and Barbara.
Meanwhile the headteacher is counting down from three and they’re OFF!

Barbara has dropped her egg straightaway,
She does not look very happy.
She has burst into tears and is escorted off the race track.
Timmy- previously trailing behind- is gaining on Robbie.
Will Robbie run ahead?

Oh no! Robbie has dropped his egg!
While he picks it up, Timmy races past him.
It’s tense between Timmy and Lucy.
There has been well-known rivalry between them ever since Timmy broke one of Lucy’s toys.
Halfway through the race,
Timmy is slowly but surely getting nearer Lucy.

Lucy’s mum is on the track!
She is blocking Timmy!
The headteacher dives, bringing Lucy’s mum down with them.
Timmy runs past Lucy, stepping over her mum on the track.
The casualties are quickly removed by the First Aid team.

Timmy zooms straight to the finish line and he’s WON!
He walks over to the headteacher for his sticker,
But the headteacher is shouting,
Timmy is being told off for keeping his egg down with his hand!
This is truly a shocking scandal!
He is disqualified, Lucy is declared first!
Lucy’s mum is cheering from her restraints on the playground while Lucy walks to the headteacher to collect her sticker.
This glorious moment concludes this year’s (very dramatic) egg and spoon race, and what a race it has been!

This has been Clara, coming to you live from The Richmond School for Sports Day.
After a five-minute break,
We have the sack race, in which Timmy will attempt to redeem himself.
See you in five minutes.
