As we had studied the life story of Florence Nightingale we decided to make a lantern in Art as Florence was known as "The Lady with the Lamp". We used oil pastels to design the lamp using different shades and tones of colours. When it was colored we used our cutting skills to cut it out. Here we are busy at work!

And here is the final result!! The lanterns made a wonderful addition to our class display.
This week in history we began the story of Florence Nightingale. We learned that Florence Nightingale was born in Florence, Italy, on May 12, 1820. Part of a wealthy family, Nightingale defied the expectations of the time and pursued what she saw as her God-given calling of nursing. During the Crimean War, she and a team of nurses improved the unsanitary conditions at a British base hospital, greatly reducing the death count. Her writings sparked worldwide health care reform, and in 1860 she established St. Thomas' Hospital and the Nightingale Training School for Nurses. A revered hero of her time, she died on August 13, 1910, in London. Have a look at the clip to hear the "Biography of Florence Nightingale".
