Education

I provide inspirational cross-curricular eco-edutainment for children and young people, from pre-school, through to primary and secondary school. This takes the form of poetry performances and workshops linked to the National Curriculum, photography workshops and eco-musicals. I also provide a unique ‘Poet in Residence’ programme.

‘The schools were treated to a fantastic experience, as your approach, Anneliese, was instructive, entertaining and totally inspiring.
A memorable experience for the students.’
Fran Bradley, ‘Poets in Schools’ Coordinator,
Ledbury Poetry Festival

These events can be held at your school, or at another suitable venue, such as a museum, environment centre, or park.

‘The children kept coming up to me telling me that we should have you back once a week.’
Jean Yendall, Head Teacher,
Sowerby Community Primary School

The National Literacy Strategy recognises poetry as ‘a central aspect of literacy’. All my poetry workshops and performances help establish the ‘positive climate for poetry’ called for by the NLS.

Uniting all my educational work is theBigBuzz ‘edutainment’ philosophy of:

  • providing learning through laughter, rhythm and rhyme
  • promoting sustainability through creativity
  • teaching science through art.

Whatever the project, my goal is always the same:

  • to inspire the participants, and to leave them buzzing with excitement and enthusiasm!
