A Day in the Life of Florence Nightingale.

Well, we have scrubbed the floors, washed the bed linen, dressed wounds, cooked healthy meals, chased away rats and nursed the sick.  Just a normal day in the Crimean War!  As you might have guessed, we have been learning all about Florence Nightingale and having a wonderful time.  Please ask your child to tell you what she did; why she is so famous and what the soldiers called her. 

Thank you Sister Sue (a real life nurse) who came in and talked about her job and taught the children how to bandage up an injured teddy.  Mrs Rixson was busy outside measuring up medicines and amounts of fluids.  Mrs Clark and Ms Milne did a sterling job making lanterns and pesky rats (there were a lot of them about in the hospitals of the Crimea  at that time!)

We hope the children enjoyed the day as much as we did.
