✨ At Monkey Puzzle Grange Road, our children have been busy exploring the wonderful theme of “People Who Help Us.”
From doctors and nurses to firefighters, teachers, and everyday helpers, the children have been learning about the important roles these people play in our lives. Through stories, role play, and creative activities, they’ve discovered how kindness, care, and teamwork make our world a better place 💙
