#repost @homeplaylearn: ๐ŸฅChicks๐Ÿฅ A fun sponge painting activity for children (and grown-ups!) My youngest enjoyed some creative freedom with the paints while I did these. Thanks to the latest OKIDO magazine for the inspiration. (Use code HOMEPLAYLEARN10 for 10% off, AD).

Replying to @ATE_play @trouse11
It embedded values about working with children, which continue to shape my feelings about education: Learning takes place EVERYWHERE. In the right environment, children can flourish. Culture is vital to make things run smoothly. It was also the most fun I've ever had!

ATE training has empowered me to deliver with confidence, and to remember the value of fun regardless of the age of the audience. I am more reflective, analytical and considerate thanks to their training combination of sound theory and decades of experience.

I still use skills I learned with ATE every day: can't recommend this training course enough. One of the most fun things ever.
Once a year, we open our doors to a brand new cohort of play leaders. A fully residential, 7-day training course for any 17+ yr old wanting to learn about themselves & discover how bonkers kids can be. This years course is 2nd to 9th April, & applications are open until Feb.10th.

I think about heirarchy of needs and how that translates to creative teams, and the importance of โ€œhaving a planโ€ (even if you donโ€™t) and what that means for leadership. How to be vulnerable in a professional context too. Could go onโ€ฆ

I will never understand why schools remove play in an effort to focus on academics when we know that play is one of the very things we need in order to focus on academics.

Undergraduate enrichment days allow our students to have fun whilst learning how to make lessons engaging. @ATE_Superweeks ran a fantastic session for us and there was so much laughter! #teachertraining #teach #haybridge
