Who was Florence Nightingale

In this engaging lesson, children are introduced to Florence Nightingale, the inspirational “Lady with the Lamp,” who transformed nursing and healthcare. The lesson begins with a video of the PowerPoint, where Florence herself speaks directly to the children, bringing history to life through storytelling and vivid visuals. Afterwards, pupils take part in a timeline activity, using timeline cards to order key events from Florence’s remarkable life — from her early years to her work during the Crimean War. This interactive session helps children understand her lasting impact on medicine and society in a fun and memorable way. Enjoy!
