We love seeing your creativity flourish during lockdown! Year Eight have been encouraged to use their study of poetry to empathise with others. Lucy in 8B chose to use both words and pictures to go ‘Inside a Nurse’s Head’ and we think it’s a beautiful tribute to those still working tirelessly to save lives in our hospitals. Nurses, this is for you. #bhsenglish #poetry #empathy #creativity #protectthenhs #nurses #thankyou #community #iampartofballyclarehigh
