Search for funniest pupils Foxes Class named in top ten
Children in a Southwater school are among the top ten funniest classes in Britain, according to long-running comic The Beano. Now they’re asking for people to help them claim the crown for the top spot.
Southwater is home to one of the funniest classes in Britain, according to a leading comic series.
Foxes Class at Castlewood Primary School has been named one of the top ten funniest classes in the country by long-running comic Beano.
And now the school is calling on people to help it claim the crown of the most hilarious classroom in Britain as it bids to win a competition being run by the children’s magazine.
The beloved series, which has created iconic characters such as Dennis the Menace and Gnasher, has launched a new campaign, hunting for the funniest classroom in Britain.
Castlewood joined schools across the country, sending its best jokes to the publisher to be judged by comedy experts including TV and stand-up star Harry Hill.
Foxes’ pupil Macie Rowland left the judges in stitches with her entry which was selected as one of the ten best jokes, and has now put forward for the public vote.
Her teacher Katy Smith said: “We are so excited because we have been chosen as one of the ten funniest schools in Britain and now the votes are on.”
The school got involved in the competition after Year 3 pupil Samuel Kemp spotted the event in his magazine.
After speaking with Mrs Smith she decided it would be a fun activity for the whole class to get involved in.
She said: “We all wrote down some of our favourite jokes. We had to submit three jokes as a class and Macie’s joke was chosen as the winning joke.”
Macie said she was very emotional and was ‘so happy tears were running down her face’. The joke went: “At the bank a lady asked me to check her balance, so I pushed her over.”
Sue Barnard, school secretary, said: “It’s the best joke in there. You can vote as many times as you like. Vote, vote, vote!”
