Sing-a-long poetry at Becket

Today Anna met the 3rd cohort of year 8 pupils to be taking part in Double Club at Thomas Becket.

The group did Cobblers player card maths, some ice-breakers/’brain breaks’ and looked at cricket and the 5 senses. They watched some Ashes footage and did some creative writing putting themselves in the position of the batter, bowler, bat, ball, fielder or wicket.

Reading some sports poetry ended up turning into a bit of a sing-a-long as the students started to ‘perform’ the chorus in one of the poems. The group compiled their own version, writing two lines each, fitting them together and adding a chorus. This is a great collaborative effort, see below.

Double Club Poem

4^th June 09

 

 

Show off striker

With lots of skill

His team thinks that he is brill!

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

Football’s amazing

Like double glass glazing

It’s absolutely brilliant

The skills are blazing!

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

He has a nose for the net

He always wins the bookies bet

He scored on the pitch

And his celebration was to itch!

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

Football star

He’s got a car

He also lives in a jar!

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

He is the player in the game

But no-one ever knows his name

He enjoys playing, he has scored 10

He also has a cousin called Ben!

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

He shoots he scores, the crowd shout more, more, more!

He shoots he misses the crowd are full of disses

 

Man of the match man of the match

What a catch!

 

Football, football, I love you,

What could I be without you?
