Year 1 had a fun-filled day learning about Florence Nightingale.
They enjoyed making items such as candle holders, lockets and medals. They then became detectives and inspected the contents of suitcases belonging to various individuals on their way to Scutari, deciding who they belonged to.
Finally they set to work, improving the conditions of the hospital in Scutari. They roleplayed being soldiers, nurses, gardeners and laundry workers and enjoyed using all the artefacts from that time.
