5×5x5 Taking Construction Outside
01/05/2008 by James.
Today we gave the children a chance to explore the tubes again, combined with sheets of hardboard, wooden blocks, piping, canes and willow. We wanted to give them a chance to bring together their fascination with connecting and exploring inner/outer spaces with the ‘real-world’ of the walk last week, and the more immediate landscape of the field behind the pre-school.
Key areas of interest from the walk around the village (paths, drives up or down hills to houses, walls constructed of stone or brick, drains and gullies) reappeared and were revisited through the creation of structures and the marking-out of spaces across the ground and up a grassy bank, whilst imaginary play turned some of these into houses, spaceships and beds.
