Year 2 Mesmerized by Mary

Date: 10th May 2022 @ 5:01pm

This half term, Year Two are learning all about Mary Seacole. We started the journey by being History detectives and used photos of evidence to try and figure out who Mary Seacole was and the reasons why she was famous. We all had very different ideas about why she was famous and eventually figured out that she helped British soldiers in the Crimean war. We followed this on by exploring the key events in Mary's life and sequenced them and this week we have focused on what Mary's role was in the Crimean war. We were amazed at the acts of kindness Mary displayed towards British and Russian soldiers and how important she was in helping soldiers in the Crimean war.
