Recipe Poems

This week at Clissold for our afterschool session, we wrote recipe poems! We discussed all of the different ingredients that might go into making up who we are in the world. It was a great way to celebrate all the different parts of us that we don’t often take time to notice. Enjoy this weeks poems!
