Over the last few weeks Year 2 have been learning all about Florence Nightingale. We have learnt about her life and why she is an important person in our history. We did some fantastic cross-curricular learning. Luckily we were able to show what we have been learning during our class assembly on Friday. The children worked really hard and performed really amazingly! Thank you to all the parents who came to watch!
Here are some pictures of our learning.
To begin our topic children were asked to research Florence Nightingale and create their own poster! We had some amazing posters and children found out lots of interesting facts.
We pretended to be nurses to begin to understand what they do and the type of personality traits you would need to be one.
In dress up in old fashioned clothes and took old fashioned pictures. In the past you did not look at the camera or smile when you had your picture taken.
Florence Nightingale was one of the first women to receive the order of merit. We made our own medals and discussed who we would like to give them to.
In computing we made a timeline of Florence Nightingale's life.
Finally in big write we imagined we was Florence Nightingale and wrote some spectacular diaries. We enjoyed sharing them with you during our assembly!
