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 />
