Dear Mr Mah Bow Tan,
I am a student from Pasir Ris Secondary School. My group members and I have came up with some feedbacks and suggestions to improve the playgrounds in Tampines.
Our project requires us to design a 3D model based on discussed ideas of a playground for emotionally abused children. After some research on some therapies, and how they would benefit the children, we decided to build the playground based on a nature-like theme. Our researches have resulted in our decision of adding some special features such as built-in musical instruments and whiteboards on the wall of the playground.
During the project, we went to several playgrounds in the neighborhood for some ideas. On our hunt for ideas, we realized that most of the playgrounds in the area are appealing to children of all ages. But we also realized that the playgrounds are badly vandalized. We thought that maybe our idea of using whiteboards could help youngsters to relieve their problems and depressions in the form of drawings.
I hope you will consider our suggestion as this feature can help to add on to the appearance of the playground. Maybe we could repaint the playgrounds and add on more features like musical instruments and whiteboards as this would also benefit those emotionally scarred children. I thank you for reading this proposal and I hope you will consider our suggestions.
Yours Sincerely,
Isabelle Tan
Student of Pasir Ris Secondary School
