Today marked the end of our famous nurses topic and what a day it has been!
The children have thoroughly enjoyed ‘Nurses Training School’ and have amazed us with their fantastic costumes and enthusiasm.
In the morning, we completed a range of first aid sessions with the children (essential for nurse training), identifying the key items needed for a first aid kit and how to deal with minor bleeding. The children then learnt about the emergency services and how to make a 999 call. They enjoyed role playing this, taking on the roles of caller and call handler.
This afternoon, the children completed a range of activities to enhance the topic. They used the construction materials to build hospitals, role played in our hospital role play area, played a Mary Seacole board game and read a range of information texts to learn more facts about our 3 famous nurses – Florence, Mary and Edith Cavell.
We have thoroughly enjoyed this topic and have learnt such a lot!
