Discuss these questions (verbally):
Can you summarise the story of her life?
How would you describe Mary Seacole?
Mary Seacole wasn’t allowed to join the group of nurses in England because she didn’t have white skin.
Do you think this is fair? Was she treated equally?
Did Mary Seacole let people saying no stop her?
Today’s challenges
Today we are going to retell the life of Mary Seacole. You can do this in two ways:
Act it out!
Dress up, get some props
and perform the life of
Mary Seacole for your
family.
Finger Puppets
Using paper, glue, colouring pencils and
scissors, make a finger puppet for each
character. Can you retell the story. See
