Travel back over 150 years and meet the Lady with the Lamp! This colourful, story-driven PowerPoint lesson brings Florence Nightingale to life for Year 2 historians. Children step into a world with no phones or cars, meet young Florence and her big dream, and discover why hospitals long ago desperately needed her help. The story builds through her journey to Scutari, the changes she made — scrubbing wards, fresh food, open windows, real care — and the night-time rounds that earned her famous name. It closes with why nurses today still follow her example. Two hands-on activities deepen the learning: a hospitals then-and-now comparison task and a creative design-a-medal activity celebrating Florence’s character. Bright picture icons, a friendly cartoon teacher and warm speech bubbles keep children engaged on every slide, and the whole lesson is written directly to the child. A perfect fit for the KS1 significant individuals unit — visual, interactive and completely ready to teach for a full hour.
