5×5x5 5th March - exploring space, sound and material

This week the tubes became the key focus for the group… I had added more plastic and cardboard tubes, string, ribbon and elastic to enable them to take their explorations in connecting, posting and exploring inner and outer space even further… One boy found several ways to produce different sounds from one tube, calling down it, tapping and banging it and scraping it against the floor… others explored their length and height or clustered them together, carefully wrapping and ‘nesting’ them with unfurling receipt rolls and lengths of elastic.
