Florence Nightingale gained the nickname “The Lady with the Lamp” whilst caring for soldiers injured in the Crimean War. A Visit from Florence Nightingale opens with an assembly for participating year groups, followed by workshops for a class at a time.
Workshop Description
Using a range of age appropriate, drama-based techniques, Florence will help pupils learn about her life, times and achievements, her differences with Mary Seacole and the debts modern-day health care owes them both. She’ll answer their questions (we’ll provide you with a structure to generate some of these in advance) – and leave each child with a beautifully designed Timeline to complete. Perfect for Florence Nightingale day on the 12th May or anytime throughout the school year! And as Florence is just one of the Tourists we can provide, you might also be interested in hosting the military strategist General Haig, the suffragette Emeline Pankhurst or the astronaut Neil Armstrong!
