Clyde Primary School

Extracurricular Incursion – Years 3 to 6

Activity Date: Monday 19th of August

Curriculum Focus: As part of our of reading literacy focus at Clyde Primary School and to celebrate book week we will be hosting a very special incursion with the one and only Brian Nankervis (the alter ego of Raymond J). The 50 minute presentation from Raymond comprises a poetry performance tailored to suit the interests and ages of the students, information and anecdotes about a wide range of professional media experiences, a group poetry writing exercise and a question & answer session. Brian’s visit will add to the work of our teachers at Clyde where we aim to inspire our growing writers and motivate our students to see the many ways we use our literacy skills as well as the many job avenues available.

Raymond has published a book of poems – “Too many Crayfish Not Enough Brains” (McPhee Cribble, Penguin)as well as a CD with seven year old Matt Healey – “A Wet Bird Never Flies At Night
