We had our Florence Nightingale immersion day - the children found out facts about Florence Nightingale and some of the amazing things she did that make her a significant and important person! Without her our hospitals would be disgusting, dirty and unclean!

Before Florence hospitals often did not make you better but made you worse with so many germs spreading around.

We started the day making our own lamps as Florence was known as the lady of the lamp! We then made our own Florence peg dolls phew poor Florence had to wear a uncomfortable long outfit - we did not think this was the best thing for a nurse to wear.

We ended the day with a role play session, dressing up, using bandages and medicines to fix up the soliders as Florence did.
