New Rap Book

Here at Student of Life, we are proud to announce the birth of our first publication, the exciting new hip hop book written by rap artist BREIS (breeze) called Brilliant Rappers Educate Intelligent Students. What makes this book unique and sets it apart from other poetry books is not only does it feature wonderful witty rap lyrics (for young people aged ten and upwards)but it also has the inspiration behind the lyrics, the writer's favourite lines and little interactive challenges to further engage the reader. It's a cross between JayZ's Decoded and Benjamin Zephaniah's Funky Chickens. It's full of verses that cover a wide range of topics like being human, bus rides, Nigerian culture, relationships, Pirates, riddles, fears and dreams and so much more.

The aim of BREIS' work is to make learning fun, to inspire young minds to think big and get boys reading more. This is why Brilliant Rappers Educate Intelligent Students was written. It will be available to purchase online from June 30. However feel free to send us an email if you wish to pre-order your copy today.

INSET Day

"Today is the first day of the rest of my life", that was the brilliant opening line from one of the teachers in Bushmead Primary School, Luton. Under the instructions of BREIS, they were given the task of creating a collective rap verse about New Year resolutions. The most popular one being laying off the biscuits and chocolates. They then went on to express their thoughts on the gloomy Government cut backs.

Plenty of fun was had by all, the session had games, performances, ice breakers, writing exercises and tips. On this day the teachers became students and got a taste of being a child again and having fun whilst learning. Teachers have the hard task of getting through the curriculum whilst making it interesting and engaging. Fun and learning can't always go together but it's beautiful when you can have a sprinkling of fun time during a long day in school. We'd love to have a Student of Life practitioner deliver something fun,creative and enlightening in every school nationwide with teachers and also with students.
