Continued Halloween Celebrations .. 🎃🦇🕷️

Spooky Halloween Fun 🎃👻🦇🕷️

As part of our continued learning and celebrations for Black History Month, we have been talking about Garrett Morgan whose most notable invention was a three-position traffic signal. His traffic signal was designed to stand on a street corner and notify vehicles and pedestrians whether they should stop or go, his invention prevented many accidents and saved lives. 👏

The children in the nursery celebrated Garrett Morgan by creating their own traffic lights and they took part in role play activity, showed great understanding in linking colours to actions such as red and yellow to indicate 'stop' and green to indicate 'go'🚦

🚦

We have been celebrating Black History Month throughout the month of October here in Enfield! ❤️

Children have taken part in various activities over the last few weeks and this has provided so many learning opportunities. It has been a great month, we have been highlighting the importance of equality, whilst learning and celebrating achievements' of some truly inspirational people and getting to know more about different cultures 💕

Congratulations to Hazal on passing her Level 3 Childcare Qualification with a DISTINCTION!! 🎊🎉

We are incredibly proud of you and look forward to your future here at Monkey Puzzle Enfield 🥰💕

Happy Diwali! 🪔✨💖

Diwali is a yearly festival celebrated by millions of people around the world. Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and other religions come together for five days in Autumn to take part in the ‘festival of light.’

The five-day celebrations fall on different days every year, because Diwali coincides with the Hindu lunar calendar. Traditionally, it takes place in either October or November, although some people prepare weeks in advance.

Diwali is known as the ‘Festival of Light’ because millions of people light small oil lamps and place them in houses, gardens, roofs and more. These are called 'diyas' and light the way for the Lakshmi - an Indian god - to enter people’s homes.

In the nursery, our children enjoyed taking part in variety of activities to celebrate and talk about this beautiful festival! 🎇✨

Wishing those who are celebrating a joyful and prosperous Diwali! 💝

We are very excited to announce we received a 'Good' rating from our recent Ofsted inspection!👏👏👏

Scrumdiddlyumptious Vegetable Soup 🍲🤩

As the weather is getting colder, we decided it would be a great opportunity to make a comforting vegetable soup with the children. We used simple ingredients and the end result was very delicious! 😋

We boiled the vegetables before the activity to make it easier for the little ones to cut independently. We used potatoes, carrots, leeks and sweet potato with a small pinch of black pepper and a drizzle of lemon juice. 🥔🥕🧅🍋

Happy World Teachers' Day! 👨‍🏫👩‍🏫

Today we celebrate our dedicated, hardworking and selfless professionals for their commitment and contribution to the development of the children and students all around the world. We meet so many innovative, passionate and amazing educators throughout our career in education that we are very lucky to have worked with.

Thank you to past, present and future teachers of the world. Thanks a million for all that you do each day 💜

“Teachers have three loves: love of learning, love of learners, and the love of bringing the first two loves together.”

Fruit and Vegetable Animals 🍅🍏🥕🍍

Our toddlers have made their very own animals using different shaped fruits and vegetables in this simple, yet very creative activity which sparked children's curiosity to experiment and build their imagination further. This activity is a great way to encourage children to enjoy healthier snack options and helps those who are fussy eaters to give different fruits and vegetables a try.

Children enjoyed tasting their creations once they were finished... yummy!😋

Great job Adventurers 👏🥰

Absorption Experiment 🧪💧

The intended goal of the activity was to introduce children to the concept of absorption through the use of different absorbent materials. Our Preschoolers thoroughly enjoyed this activity and worked alongside each other to talk through their findings. There were lots of questions asked by practitioners to encourage children to think such as, 'what would happen if?' 'how are they alike, different?' 'tell me about what you saw?' 'what do you think caused it to change?' etc. 🤔💭

Great experiment to encourage children's natural curiosity 🤩

Who let the bugs out? 👀🤪

Our Preschoolers have been showing lots of interest in bugs and insects recently, we have been exploring this subject by looking at bugs and insects by using special magnifying glasses to take a closer look at their features, colours and shapes. We will be continuing to explore this interest next week by walking around the garden, closely observing all bugs and insects in their natural habitat and finding out more! 🕷️🦋🐞🦗

Last week saw the nursery preparing for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee to celebrate the Queen reaching an amazing 70 years of service!!

Our children explored with messy trays, drew flags and pictures, learnt about the Royal Family and baked cakes all in the name of her majesty the Queen!

'

Today in our toddler room, the children have been playing and exploring with a nursery made teeth and gum model.

The large lego blocks are used as teeth and play dough are used as the gums. Children are provided toothpaste, brushes, flosses and magnifying glasses.

We talked about how to look after our teeth, how to keep them clean and healthy and also read a little story about how teeth are not for biting our friends!

✨ Happy Monday! ✨

Our Inventors' have been busy building their very own 'Enfield Town' 🚧👷‍♀️👷‍♂️

The children have shown incredible communication and team-working skills throughout the activity. 👏

What a masterpiece! 🤩

🧪🥼 Science Experiment 🥼🧪

In this hands-on experience, children learned about how ingredients are combined to create reactions. Some of the children were very curious which led them to ask questions, adults worked alongside them to encourage thinking 🤔💭

Well done Adventurers! 👏

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating! ☪️

✨ Monkey Puzzle Enfield wishes you and your family a blessed Eid ✨

It's Eid!

Eid marks the end of a month of fasting from dawn to sunset, as well as spiritual reflection and prayer.

Under usual circumstances, the day starts with prayers and a big meal is usually the main event, but there’s lots of other ways people celebrate too.

Eid al-Fitr is sometimes referred to as the Sugar Feast, as a large part of the meal one eats at the festival is desserts. This could include Kahk, showing in the picture above, which is a traditional food eaten during this celebration.

Will you be celebrating Eid?

It's May Day! ✨

May Day is officially known as the Early May Bank Holiday. It is usually held on the first Monday of May each year.

May Day has been an official public holiday all across the UK since 1978 and is a time of fun and festivities in many locations across the nation 😀

In the UK, the beginning of May is the traditional time to celebrate Spring. Parades in the UK vary from place to place but a few common sites and sounds include:

🌸 Morris Dancers
🌸 Maypole dancing
🌸 Crowning of the Queen of May
🌸 Dawn flower picking
🌸 Picnics, lunch out and more

Some of our Puzzlers had a picnic at the nursery, how will you be celebrating this Bank Holiday?

Happy 96th Birthday to Her Majesty the Queen 👑

Happy Easter 🐰🐣

Here are some of the activities children have participated in for the last couple of weeks
