: We planned to use ice cream sticks as swings and the tree house
: We decided to use transparent acryllic as the flooring, merry-go-round and such
: We also used cardboard as slide and treehouse
: We used cardboard, toilet paper and satay sticks to create the trampoline
: Plasticine, balloon, strings, thumbtacks, plastic ball, etc.
Although most of our materials aint eco-friendly. Well, we did try our best making it as eco-friendly as possible.
Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel and explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel
: The flooring is decorated with a magnifying glass, leaves and such. This resembles the surrounding of Bridge to Terabithia, fun, adventurous and forest-like.
: The flooring is also made up of crayons as to show that Jess loves to draw.
: The treehouse is attached to a tree(like duhhh) which also is similar to the one in Bridge to Terabithia.
: In the novel, Bridge to Terabithia, there is some sort like a flying fox connected to Terabithia. Hence, in our playground, we painted the slide similar like a bridge and at the end of it there is a small ball pit. The link to it is that it is the passageway to fun and happiness.
: The roof of the treehouse is made up of a balloon that floats like a hot-air balloon so as to show that there is where imaginations can fly.
Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children and explanation of how the designs meet the special needs of the children
Terminally ill children are quite feeble. Hence, they need special needs and extra safety guards. Instead of sandpits, the flooring is made of rubber so as they will not get hurt severely when fall. The merry-go-round is improvised to a much safer one by adding both seats and safety belts instead of just handles. Benches are installed so as their caretakers can observe them and give proper attention for their childrens' safety purposes. There are also warning signs such as "Please fasten your seat belt" for the ill to be aware of.
