This trip gave the children an opportunity to give context to their learning and enjoy a real, hands-on experience.

The children impressed 'Florence Nightingale' with their knowledge and they all came away having learnt something new! 

My favourite part was seeing Florence Nightingale in real life. I was so surprised to see her!

I learnt that Florence was not allowed to go to school because she was a girl.

I learnt that Florence Nightingale had over 100 pets.

I was surprised to see that her owl was actually real and had been stuffed! We all thought it was pretend at first!

I learnt about the toys Florence played with when she was a child.
