We have really enjoyed learning about Mary Seacole as part of our Black History week. Mary Seacole was a Jamaican-born nurse. She went to help in the Crimean war and set up her own hospital to help the soldiers. This was despite people discriminating against her because of her skin colour. We have done some wonderful writing, painted portraits of Mary Seacole, created timelines of her life, thought about hospitals in the past compared to those now and created our own Jamaican flag collages. Take a look at a selection of photos by following the link below.

If you would like to find out more about Mary Seacole with your child I would recommend the videos on BBC (the children really enjoyed watching them!)- The life of Mary Seacole - BBC Teach
