Eco-friendly features about my group's 3D-model
Remarks (e.g. materials to be used, relevant research with links, photograph links etc)
We plan to use newspaper to be used as the flooring of the 3D model. We also used ice-creams sticks for the metal bars and the swinging bar.
Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel
Explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel
In the book, Jesse Aarons and Leslie Burke uses rope to swing to their kingdom. Hence in out plauground, we decided to use the swinging bar to indicate that they are swinging to the Terabithia which is the playground. We also have added shades to act as the trees just like the book, Bridge To Terabithia had. We got an idea of having a bridge which inspires 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.
Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children
Explanation of how the designs meet the special needs of the children
We will install some music instruments into the playground. It helps the children by Music Therapy which is used to encourage emotional expression, promote social interaction, relieve symptoms, stimulate the mind and many more other purposes. We also plan to have some parts of the playground to allow the children to write and draw what they wanted. This is the Art Therapy. It lets them express themselves in the many different art forms and colours. We also have some features like the sway bench and the hopscotch to relax the childen. This Relaxation Therapy makes everyone feels better, so they can feel less tensed and more carefree.
