Y2 Black History Month: Exploring the Life of Mary Seacole

Back to News

23rd Oct 2020

For Black History Month, we have been learning about Mary Seacole. Our Y2 children wrote some super non-chronological reports about her.

Mary was a dedicated British-Jamaican nurse who set up a field hospital known as ‘The British Hotel", behind the lines, during the Crimean War which took place between 1853 and 1856.

Coming from a tradition of Jamaican and West African "doctresses", Mary Seacole displayed compassion, skills and bravery whilst nursing British soldiers during the Crimean War, through the use of herbal remedies. For her bravery and dedication she was awarded the Jamaican Order of Merit in 1991, 110 years after her death and in 2004 she was voted the greatest black Briton. The children pf Y2 drew portraits of Mary Seacole and wrote their own non-chronological reports about her incredible and inspiring life.
