Happy world book day from the five little kittens! @CherryGrovePS

Watching children explore tools like hand saws, a garlic press, a screwdriver, and even a pasta machine. All that twisting, squeezing & turning = strong finger muscles and confident little hands in the making! @CherryGrovePS

Today, the children made banana smoothies using our new Nutribullet. The activity was very well received. The children also labelled their bottles using phonics, supporting early literacy skills alongside practical learning. @CherryGrovePS

In the play dough kitchen the children made their own dough & took on different roles, complete with taking orders! Lots of creativity, teamwork, and fantastic communication through playful learning @CherryGrovePS

Our Reception class had a lovely visit to the local bakery today. The children practised safe walking, polite communication, and purchasing their own treats with the bakers. So much happy, hands-on learning! @CherryGrovePS

Today the children enjoyed observational drawing of plants 🌱They looked closely at shape, colour and detail, developing fine motor skills, careful observation, and early scientific thinking. Learning to slow down, notice more, and record what they see. @CherryGrovePS

Children reading a salt dough recipe phonetically and following it independently. Sounding out words, measuring, mixing, adjusting… then decorating with seeds and beans. Early literacy, maths & science wrapped in hands-on, joyful learning. @CherryGrovePS

Today the children made Christmas baubles. They peeled old crayons, sharpened and collected the wax shavings. Great for fine motor skills! We then filled the baubles & watched the magic of melting happen. Observing changes&asking questions. Real science in action!@CherryGrovePS

Sawing, sticking and creating! 🦌 Our young makers built Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer today using corks, twigs & pom poms. Real tools, real skills, real creativity! @CherryGrovePS

Christmas magic has filled our Reception class! 🎄 Children loved decorating trees and creating their own with loose parts. A special North Pole delivery and our cheeky elf brought lots of excitement, plus name writing for Bob the elf’s report to Santa! @CherryGrovePS

🎄 Today’s activity: Cutting & Threading Trees! Careful snips + festive threading = great fine-motor fun and lots of Christmas joy!

Loads of writing across our provision this week! Our favourite was a child-led sweet shop, created from a tuff tray enhancement. They labelled their 3D sweet jars (gum bulls, jelee beens) So much fun! We are proud of our little writers! @CherryGrovePS

🍊 In EYFS today, the children used hand juicers to make their own orange juice, then created labels for their bottles. A rich writing for a purpose experience supporting fine-motor development, language skills and real-world understanding. @CherryGrovePS

[Cherry Grove EYFS @CherryGroveEYFS]

Our little one took our phonics activity further, spelling sad and mad, tracing the words, then drawing all the emotions he knows. Such a great snapshot of his growing understanding of feelings! @CherryGrovePS

The EYFS team joined in the Children in Need fun today! Matching pyjamas & big smiles all round! 💛🐻

The children LOVED Drawing Club with a twist today! We tried a magical graphite printing trick. We drew the Houses of Parliament, then revealed our art like magic! Finished with colourful fireworks and codes like Pop! Bang! Whizz! @CherryGrovePS

[Cherry Grove EYFS @CherryGroveEYFS]

We chopped, grated and decorated! Just like that, our handmade firework crackers were ready to sparkle! 🎆✨
