Year 2 Meet Florence Nightingale! - January 2011

To start the week Year 2 went to the campus of St Thomas's Hospital. We visited the statues of Queen Victoria and Florence Nightingale and saw the medals of the famous ‘Nightingale' nurses. We then went to eat our lunch overlooking the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben.

At midday we were welcomed into the Florence Nightingale Museum by Florence herself! She vividly told her story and experiences of the Crimea. The children and adults alike were enraptured. We then split into three groups to participate in a rotation of activities where we learnt about the impact that Florence had.

Towards the end of our visit two children were fortunate to have the opportunity to dress up as a soldier and a nurse.

It was a truly magical trip thoroughly enjoyed by all including the Headmaster!
