The children enjoyed exploring sound in the playground by tapping their rhythm sticks on different materials to see how sound changes. We found different ways of making sound by tapping, banging, scraping and hopping our sticks around the garden. The children discovered that the metal drainpipe made a loud echo sound, the floor sounded dull when they tapped it and the grass made a soft sound. They also decided that they liked the tingling sound that the railings made when they ran the sticks along them the best of all!
