Can you compare hospitals from the past to hospitals now? I have added a PowerPoint if you need a reminder of what hospitals were like in the past whilst Florence Nightingale was alive. 

Do you know a nurse or someone that is a keyworker? I would like you to make them a card to cheer them up and say thank you for all the hard work that they are doing at the moment. If you can, try and post it to them or send them a picture of it. Draw a beautiful picture on the outside and write a message on the inside in your best handwriting.
