ABOUT CELIA BERRELL
-
I’m a Science Rhymes poet who regularly contributes verses for Australia’s CSIRO children’s science magazine Double Helix and Australian Children’s
Poetry. My Science Rhymes website provides educational resources & inspiration for young writers, which I also share through presentations with local primary school students in Cairns.In 2012, through a Regional Arts Development grant, Science Educator, Dr Cliff Jackson from James Cook University, Cairns, vetted over 100 Science Rhymes for scientific accuracy and educational merit. The first 34 poems were released as an eBook on Amazon Kindle (and limited edition hardcopy) book titled Celia Berrell’s Science Rhymes.
The environmental poems were inspired by images from Davson Arts. Some of these poems appear in school textbooks: Australia’s MacMillan English 7 includes The Beauty of it All (accompanied by Davson’s painting Called Away); Ireland’s Educate.ie Better English 6th Class features Town and Country Air; Canada’s Nelson English 10 published Mother of Invention; Malaysia’s Penerbitan Pelangi English Form 1 has Peace by Piece; India’s Next Education Next English 8 has Springing to Action. A selection of poems created for Sharon Davson’s art is also being prepared for private publication.
