Year 2 learn about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole - the people who made hospitals better!

Last Thursday, January 21st, something exciting happened in Year 2. We saw a theatre group who acted the stories of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. Also we acted, learnt facts, sang songs and raps about them and freeze-framed pictures about their lives.

Some facts we learnt include:

  • They were amazing people.
  • Florence Nightingale was called the Lady of the Lamp.
  • They looked after soldiers during a war.
  • Hospitals were made better.
  • Florence started a school for nurses to train them properly.
 It was fun because it felt like we were actually there.
