After creating factfiles on Mary Seacole, your KS1 class will use their understanding of chronological order to create a timeline of Mary Seacole's life. They will reflect on how her early experiences of helping to run a boarding house in Kingston led to her later achievements in nursing. They will then look at how her life was blighted by racist incidents and will write passionately in role as her to show how the racist comments she experienced made her feel. In the following lesson, children will learn all about how she became well-loved in her hometown of Kingston when she helped treat patients suffering from cholera in 1851. They will learn all about her herbal remedies and how these compare to modern treatments for cholera. Your KS1 class will then go on to look at how her experience of treating this deadly disease led to her applying to join Florence Nightingale in her hospital in Scutari. Children will learn how, despite her help being refused, Seacole travelled to Crimea with her friend Thomas Day and set up the 'British Hotel'. They will write in role as her to explore her inner thoughts and feelings in travelling and arriving in the Crimea and will create persuasive adverts to encourage soldiers to visit the British Hotel. The final lesson focuses on how she returned to Britain as a poor woman and what happened to her in the final years of her life. Children will design a banknote to remember her life and achievements and will reflect on this incredible black woman who did amazing things in her lifetime.

Every lesson in this Mary Seacole KS1 History Planning Pack comes complete with an engaging slideshow packed full of information and which encourages discussion, promotes thinking and has built-in opportunities to revisit prior learning. There are seven detailed lesson plans with differentiated activities, all written by an experienced teacher. What's more, every lesson comes with a pack of high-quality printable resources to enable you to make every lesson about this incredible woman a success in your classroom.
