Nightingale researchers

11th Oct 2021

In Primary 4 we have been learning lots about superheroes in the past. We have been learning lots about one real-life superhero in particular - Florence Nightingale. She is a superhero because she founded the new way of modern nursing and saved many lives during the Crimean War. 

We worked with a partner and used the iPads to help us research and find out cool facts about Florence to complete our Florence Nightingale fact files. Did you know her nickname was ‘The Lady with the lamp’! She got this nickname because she would visit soldiers at night with a small lantern in her hand. Take a look at our pictures to see lots of other cool facts!

Learning about Florence Nightingale encouraged us to think about what careers we want to pursue when we are older. Our dream careers include surgeons, nurses, make-up artists, footballers, vets and teachers. Miss Cochrane better watch out as there are lots of Primary 4 children who want to have her job in the future👩🏽‍🏫
