Florence Nightingale

Elephants have learnt about the ‘Lady of The Lamp’ Florence Nightingale and how she transformed hospitals and the training of nurses in the Victorian age.   We found out about her life, especially in the Crimean War.   We made our own nurse's lamp and also a Crimean War soldier’s hat.   We also experienced what a ‘hospital’ was like at the time.   We had to clean the hospital to make it ‘germ free’ for the injured soldiers and then we each took care of the sick.
