Welcome to Year RH! 

We are the Happy Hummingbirds! 

Our page will be filled with all of the exciting things that we are learning in Reception. As we continue through the year, keep an eye on our page for lots of photos of what we've been up to.

Autumn 1 2021

The children have had such a fantastic start to their Reception adventure and Autumn 1 has so far been lots of fun. So far we have explored the story 'The Colour Monster' and we are really enjoying being creative with our ideas in our learning areas both inside and outside of our classroom. We are looking forward to beginning our new text 'The Rainbow Fish' in the next few weeks.

Miss Hargreaves and Mrs Hitchen are so proud of how well the children have started their Ellison journey and we are having such a great time getting to know each other. We are definitely a class of happy hummingbirds! :)

Keep an eye out for all of the fun we'll be having throughout Autumn term!

Christmas wishes to our friends and family. 

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our parents and carers who have supported us throughout this Autumn term. We have been so impressed with how amazingly the children have settled, made lots of new friends and thrived within their first term at Ellison Primary Academy. 

We would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. 

Mrs Cartlidge and I will look forward to seeing you all in the new year of 2021!

Stay safe everyone. 

Best of wishes

As part of our celebration of curriculum golden time, reception enjoyed creating their own 'Picasso portrait'. They used a range of three self portrait photographs having explored different angles of their features, to then create a portrait in the style of Pablo Picasso. We talked about and explored his use of warm, vibrant colours as well his cooler, hues of colours within his artwork.

Well done reception- remember that we are all artists.

Mrs Cartlidge and I are very proud of all the children in RA, they have settled extremely well into the Ellison family already and we are very impressed.

This half term we will be learning about the children through our key concept, "Identity". Please keep visiting our class page to see our pictures and see what exciting things we have been learning about. 

Thank you
