Ashbridge Atelier

@cosydirect @EYTagteam @EYTalking @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence #atelier #photography #rain

Our Rain theme continues and fuses with technology as we explore how to use a digital camera to take expressive photos of our friends! It was a little tricky, but so much fun. Children's photos will be shared tomorrow! @BadgersAshbrid1 @OwlsAshbridge @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk

Creating a magical base for our Rain installation! "This look like rain drip-dripping!" "Rain is dropping down the umbrella like beads!" @OwlsAshbridge @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTagteam @EYTalking @EarlyExcellence @EarlyYearsIdeas #atelier #rain

Hedgehogs loved their visit to the atelier!

Join us in the Rainy Day Booth, a fully immersive, multi-sensory, 360° weather-focused painting experience! A calm atmosphere with subdued lighting and rain sounds reflect the stormy weather outside. "Rain is not blue but rain feels like blue!" "Dash dash dash! Splat!" #atelier

An invitation for the children to show us how they experience rain! All prepared for next week's Rain focus. @BadgersAshbrid1 @OwlsAshbridge @ashbridgeschool @SehrishKhawaja2 @cosydirect @NDNAtalk @EYTagteam @EYTalking @EarlyExcellence #atelier #Rain

@MissTaylor_EYFS @cosydirect @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence The children helped decide what colours we would need and then we used those :)

@AshbridgeAteli1 @cosydirect @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence @AshbridgeAteli1 did you provide all colour paints or just the colours the children would need? Love this, just curious how you set it up.

A lesson in observational painting. "This one hot green stripey orange." "A slow line and it looks like the pumpkin now." @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence #atelier

@wilmot111 @cosydirect @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence It's a roll of cellophane!

@AshbridgeAteli1 @cosydirect @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence Did you use clingfilm? Xx

@OriginalRobyn @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTagteam It was so much fun! It's just corks on the end attached with hot glue!

@AshbridgeAteli1 @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTagteam Lots of fun, love the sounds that the marbles make knocking around the tray. What’s on the end of the sticks?

"Fireworks are crackly." "Fireworks was at my house and they go BANG!" "I don't like the big bang but I like the colours that's pretty." A rolly, sparkly, painty, delightful way to make fireworks! @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTagteam #atelier

Superb spooky potions!

@OwlsAshbridge @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTagteam @EYTalking @EarlyExcellence @EarlyYearsIdeas #atelier #lightandshadow #halloween

Today we have crept into the dark to create compelling spooky stories using monsters we designed ourselves! A great Dark Room experience! "My witch is flying and the bats chasing her!" Thanks for the inspiration, @SehrishKhawaja2 💜

A very animated pumpkin patch! Badgers have been discussing the concept of pumpkin picking, and what we would look for in a good pumpkin. Then we create our idea of the perfect pumpkin, resulting in an incredibly huge and diverse pumpkin patch, right in the middle of our atelier!

Our little artist today enjoyed the process of creating this larger-than-life pumpkin patch painting! Each child explored the paint in their own unique way 🎃 @Ashbridge2to3 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EYTalking @EYTagteam @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence #atelier

@EYTagteam @EYTalking #vangogh #starrynight

Anything can be a canvas if you use your imagination! Using paint dabbers to recreate the swirls of Van Gogh's Starry Night on the smooth reflective surface of an emergency blanket! #atelier @BadgersAshbrid1 @ashbridgeschool @NDNAtalk @cosydirect @EarlyYearsIdeas @EarlyExcellence
