Eco-friendly features about my group’s 3D-model Remarks (e.g. materials to be used, relevant research with links, photograph links etc):- We used ice cream sticks, which is quite eco-friendly.
- We used old newspaper as the base as it is being recycled in this way, instead of being thrown into the dustbin.

Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel. Explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel:- You must swing on the track ride to get into the playground, just like how Jess
and Leslie had to swing across to get the
playground into Terabithia.
- There is a bridge connecting the two playgrounds, and in the end, Jess built a
bridge that linked to Terabithia.
- Our playground is in a form of a treehouse, so its is just like the playground in
Terabithia.
- We used grass, as grass has a natural feeling like Terabithia.

Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children Explanation of how the designs meet the special needs of the children:- Music therapy, which are the musical insturments, is proven to help make children feel better as it soothes their minds
- Toy therapy, which are the toys, is useful as children like to play with toys if
it’s the right type. Bright, happy and cheerful
toys are the best types of toys to offer them as it make them feel happy and light.
- Play therapy, which is the whole playground itself, makes the children have fun,
and they will feel better.
- Relaxation therapy, which is the resting area, destresses the childen if they are
under too much stress and pressure, so they can relax and unwind.
- Art theapy, which is the walls that can be drawn on in the playgound, lets the
children vent their anger and also see bright colours, as bright colours make a
person feel happy.
- Bright colours will be used to make the playground as children like bright colours
as it makes them feel happy and cheerful.
- Wood is a natural thing which makes people feel more in touch with the natural
things in life, and natural things are good in a way as it feels more safe, which
is mainly what abused children would want to feel.
- Grass is also a natural thing which makes people feel more in touch with the
natural things in life, and natural things are good in a way as it feels more
safe, which is mainly what abused children would want to feel.
