Summary of the poem sports day by david threadgold

Answer 1

Sport day was written from memories I had of my earliest schooldays. We were taught it was always best to work as a team if we wanted to achieve our true potential. We were matched up with different people in normal lessons, this was to help with character building, it enabled us to meet and converse with everyone in the class. But when it came to sports we always had four teams and we wore a coloured sash, this team was to follow us throughout our schooling and was a measure of the team’s activities. But one thing I remember above all other was that it was the taking part not the winning, and this has always helped me throughout my life in so many different ways. If you don’t take part how will you ever know what is possible.
