Eco-friendly features about my group’s 3D-model Remarks (e.g. materials to be used, relevant research with links, photograph links etc):The flooring is made up of Synthetic Turf Safety Surfacing. It is safe and it will give the playground a feel of nature. And it looks good too. We're using wood as the material for the playground as it also gives a natural feel and it will look like its old like a forest. Just like Terabithia.

Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel. Explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel: Just like in Terabithia, there is a swing. There is a bridge in the playground. Just like Terabithia. The musical instruments like the drums will be plastic. And the swing will be like a normal swing, made of metal.

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 is proven to help make children feel better as it soothes their minds. It will help with their condition and can make them open up their hearts. Relaxation therapy makes them feel more relaxed, and it helps them to forget the cruel past and enjoy the present. Toy therapy is useful as children like to play with toys if it’s the right type. Bright coloured toys make them feel happy and light, so it is the best kindof toy to offer them. Play therapy makes people have fun, they will feel better and not dwell on unhappy stuff. Grass gives off a natural feeling which soothes people’s minds and helps them feel relax like they're out in a natural environment. Art therapy can help them release their anger and emotional hurt. They can vent it all out through art. It will make them feel better. Communication helps them to open up and talk about how they feel and that will help them to overcome their fears.
