Australian Champion bush poet Gregory
North presents rhyming Australian verse from past to
present. Through use of voices, props and student involvement the
great Australian tradition of rhyming poetry is brought to life.
Students experience some of our classic poetry from the past as
well as modern subjects presented in that same traditional style
that is appealing all over again. Poetry is meant to be performed
and that's what makes it so much fun!
The show Immerse in Verse features the following poems:
Once children experience the joy of rhyming verse performed as entertainment, their enthusiasm for poetry is awakened. Here's what some teachers have said about the show: Students and staff both thoroughly enjoyed your performance. Students take it in turn to recite a poem each Friday for assembly and your performance has given them all food for thought. Just the simple addition of a hat/moustache etc can bring so much to a performance. Many thanks, Debbie, Borenore Public School NSW. Thank you for visiting our school. The children were very engaged and enjoyed the show. You were able to keep students interested with your animated deliveries and by involving them by inviting contributions and having them join you 'on stage'. Thank you for showing them how much fun poetry can be!! Sally, St Mary's Catholic Primary School, Orange NSW. Thanks so much for your entertaining and engaging performance with us at Catherine McAuley. I personally valued your recitations mainly because of the sheer fun of them and know the children enjoyed them. Each poem told such a great story and the involvement with the children really promoted a love for poetry. Helen, Catherine McAuley Catholic Primary School, Orange NSW.
