Classes 1 and 2 have been finding out about Florence Nightingale. We have learnt all about her life and the changes that she made to hospitals and nursing.
We had a special day when we all came to school dressed up. The boys came as wounded soldiers and the girls dressed up as Florence Nightingale.
We did lots of role play to help us to learn more about the crimean war and the hospital at Scutari.
The boys were wounded soldiers in Scutari Hospital and the girls were some of Florence Nightingale's nurses. There was a lot for them to do.
We did not think it that it could have been very nice for the wounded soldiers or the nurses.
We also spent the day finding out what it would have been like at school in the Victorian times. The boys and the girls sat separately and we learnt how to write with chalk. We did not use computers all day but we did try some fun activities that the Victorian children might have enjoyed.
