Raps and Rhymes About Primary School Times: A Children's Poetry Anthology

By Sue Nield

Children are fantastic! They always captivate and surprise us with their great words of wisdom, their wonderful imaginations and all the great things that they do, just some of which have been captured in this excellent collection of poems. Raps and Rhymes about Primary School Times: A Childrens Poetry Anthology is cleverly written through the eyes of both children and teachers and it captures, brilliantly, the learning, the fun and the stories that take place in primary schools every day. The poems are rhythmic, bouncy and entertaining and contain an excellent balance of humour, empathy and pathos. The anthology includes raps, narrative poems, limericks, riddles and rhyming tales which provide a rich and humorous insight into school life. This Childrens Poetry Anthology is a must for every classroom for both children and teachers alike - and a must for every household with children, young and old!

Sue Nield

Sue Nield is a mother, grandmother and primary school Headteacher who has been writing poetry to engage and capture her pupils' imaginations, for many years. In ‘Raps and Rhymes about Primary School Times: A Children’s Poetry Anthology’, Sue has drawn on her experience of teaching her own children as well as hundreds of 4 to 11 year olds over the years, to create sixty of the best and most memorable poems about school life and primary school learning. Most importantly, Sue’s poetry has been successfully tried and tested on the audience for whom it was intended. Many of the poems have the added bonus of being very helpful to teachers as well: for example, for introducing new topics, preparing a class assembly, for teaching grammar in a lively and interesting way or for simply reading a narrative poem instead of a story at home time. Sue believes that children will always love reading books, in spite of the information super-highway provided by the Internet and a multi-media world. She firmly believes that poetry is a great way to help children learn in an inspiring, meaningful and memorable way whilst enjoying the rhythmic patterns and rhymes in each verse. Poetry is particularly accessible for children who prefer to read less, or for those who prefer pictures to words, because poetry creates its own magical images in every line and, unlike stories or text books, poems are short enough to pick up and put down as you please.
