About this worksheet
A four-page Year 1 history fact file about Florence Nightingale, written for the England National Curriculum. A picture shows her in a dark dress and white cap, holding a lit lamp on a hospital ward at night. Pupils draw their own portrait of her beside it. The Key Facts table asks for six things, from her full name and birth date to how she made hospitals better. Pupils then look for a surprising fact and write two sentences on why she is still remembered. The answer key gives model answers, including her pet owl Athena and the hospital at Scutari.
