# Superheroes from the past

This term we are learning about real life superheroes. Today we found out about Florence Nightingale and the amazing work she did in hospitals and colleges over the years.

We know that she helped injured soldiers, cleaned up hospitals, trained new nurses, and dedicated her life to helping others.

We have been using props to recreate some of the jobs Florence Nightingale might have done in the hospitals and expanding our knowledge of key people from the past and how times have changed.
