BREIS<br />
Hip hop/rap poet BREIS came to<br />
perform at Bromley on National<br />
Poetry Day. Jamming with Years 8,<br />
9, 10 and 11, his clever and playful<br />
use of words and rhyme showed<br />
how poetry can be funny, emotional<br />
and motivational, the importance<br />
of communication and how we<br />
should all believe in ourselves and<br />
what we can achieve if we set our<br />
minds to it. He even managed to<br />
freestyle with Year 8 about items<br />
held up from their bags, and<br />
included birthday wishes to our<br />
student Rebecca.<br />
“Having Breis come to talk to us<br />
about poetry was a really fantastic<br />
experience! He performed some of<br />
his own raps and explained the<br />
themes behind them and how his Nigerian heritage influenced him. It was so<br />
interesting having Breis and it was so cool to see how diverse the art of poetry<br />
actually is and how there are so many different forms of it, like rap.”<br />
