In today’s online session, Miss Pat introduced the theme of poetry by drawing parallels between the emotions evoked in poetry and the excitement of a football match. Focusing on the poem “The Hero of the Match,” she discussed the heroics of Denmark’s football captain, Simon Kjær, during the Euro 2020 Championship, highlighting his quick response to teammate Christian Eriksen’s collapse. She encouraged students to think about everyday heroes and introduced key vocabulary like “tackle,” “trap,” and “dribble,” preparing them to explore the poem by Neil Adams from the book “Hundred Best Poems for Children.”
