Personal Performance Publications is a publishing imprint owned by us. Our intention is to publish a range of books and pamphlets sharing best practice with you.
Our first publication, POETRY AND ME: THE WORLD AROUND ME, is well on the way to being published.
THE WORLD AROUND ME is a unique poetry resource for KS1 and KS2 teachers created by Rod Dungate and Jayne Basnett.
The book contains a new collection of poems by Rod Dungate in a range of modern poetry styles, together with teaching notes on each poem together with further activities by Rod Dungate and colleague Jayne Basnett. There are also illustrations by award-winning artist Paula Woof.
There's enough material in this resource to cover many lessons.

In the middle of my city,
in the middle of my house,
in the middle of my room
I sat quite still - rigid as a rock -
eyes tight shut, held my breath,
I listened and heard...
my computer humming softly,
the ceiling over my head creaking;
and the people next door -
I could hear their television
and their children playing.
