I would love to build this playground as it has musical instruments like drums which helps the child to vent their anger and express their feelings in a healthier way and it also helps in the development and the music therapy. I think music therapy is the most effective for kids who have had an dark past as music stimulates the mind and soul.
It helps the children to forget about the past and get over it and move on to a better and brighter future. In this way the child would be able to develop a sense of security and that having a dark past does not mean they cannot change their life for the better. :)

SOME FEATURES :D
It’s important that we help children to enjoy outdoor fun more safely.
We have some ideas of the shades:
List Price: US $20,621
List Price: US $10,178
In the book of Bridge Of Terabithia, they had tress which served as a shade at the kingdom. The shades above can act like the trees in the book.
In the book Terabithia, they uses rope to swing to their kingdom. In our playground, ropes are too dangerous, hence we decided to use the safer way to indicate that they are swinging to their kingodm which is the playground. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on traditional African and Caribbean instruments, these objects provides rhythmic, tonal and vocal options to create musical expressions while at play. The instruments can be placed surrounding the playground or around the playground. These objects are examples of music therapy which helps to improve the condition of the abused children. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We have some ideas of the bridges: The ideas of having a bridge came from the title and the contents of the book. The bridge to Terabithia was built by Jesse Aarons at the end of the story. To connect both our playground and the story, we choose to have a bridge-like playground.
It is used for relaxation after a long hours of playing.
This climber may look dangerous but it is fun to play as it gives you a bumpy feeling too!~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Four Seat Buck-A-Bout w/Coil Spring >
This four seater Buck-A-Bout looks real fun! I can play this with my friends and we can chat while we are playing with this!

Pictures of a playground. Personally, I like about the layout of the playground. The slides which uses two slides combining together are fun as my friends and I could slide together at the same time. There is also nets for us to climb the top which allow me to experience the feeling to look at things at the top view.
Suggestions.
We could add a shade over the playground.
We could even have a hopscotch somewhere.

Team members:Ruzaini, Sidney, Isabelle, Clarice, Rachel and Shermaine Target group for playground:Abused children with emotional scars :( Brief description of playground:The theme of our playground is music, toys, communication and art. All these help the abused children concentrate on playing and forget about their dark past. Music stimulates the mind and soul, this helps in the development of the child. Toys are included as a therapy to let them know that there is someone out there to help and lend them a listening ear. Art helps them to express their feelings in colourings, drawings. Like art, communication also helps the child to express their feelings, but in words. Through communication, the child could improve the way they socialise with others.
There are also ways to treat abused children like: 1)Music Therapy -is used to encourage emotional expression, promote social interaction, relieve symptoms, stimulate the mind and many more other purposes.
2)Toy Therapy
3)Communication Therapy -talking to them in forms positive words like praises and words of encouragement help make the child feel better about themselves and might open up to other people
4)Art Therapy -let them express themselves in the many different art forms and colours.
5)Play Therapy -play therapy is a type of mental health or developmental intervention which is designed to help children grow up as happy and well-adjusted as possible. It utilizes play, children’s natural medium of expression, to help them express their feelings more easily through toys instead of words. Play allows children a safe psychological distance from their problems and allows them to express their true thoughts and feelings in ways best suited to their developmental level.
6)Relaxation Therapy -everyone feels better when relaxed, so they can feel less tensed and more carefree.

There are many types of abuse which is very common in any countries:
-Physical Abuse which involves physical injury to a child that is non-accidental, and includes violence, choking, poisoning, burning, scalding and many more.
-Sexual Abuse which involves sexual activity with a child by an adult, includes suggestive or inappropriate behaviour or comments directed towards a child's private parts or unexposed areas.
-Emotional Abuse is the behaviour by a parent or caregiver that destroys a child's confidence in themselves. For instance, children are constantly told they are no good or worthless, continually rejected and shown no affection, subjected to constant verbal abuse and threats, or punished by being locked up alone or denied friends or social activities.
-Physical Neglect is when a child does not receive adequate food, shelter, medical care or supervision.
I would love to build this playground as it has musical instruments like drums which helps the child to vent their anger and express their feelings in a healthier way and it also helps
