Individual Reflections for Literature Mid-Year Project 2008
Sec 2 Express
1) Eco-friendly features about my group’s 3D-model
- We are going to add some plants around and on the borders of the playground.
2) Remarks (e.g. materials to be used, relevant research with links, photograph links etc)
- We are using plastacine to make the model
- Ice cream sticks covered with plastacine will be used for strengthening the pillars/walls that hold the playground together.
3) Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel
- The novel said about an imaginary castle, so we are trying to make some parts of the playground look like the castle too.
- For example, we can add paintings of various characters(e.g.cartoons like fairies)
4) Explanation of how the designs/concepts are linked to the novel
- We are going to make handle bars that reduce chances of the children falling down to look like castle walls.
5) Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of the children
- Short & minimal Steps
- A safe swing
- A concave tunnel slide
6) Explanation of how the designs meet the special needs of the children
- Some percentage of Down Syndrome children have a weak heart, so there should not be much steps for the children to climb.
- Some children have skeletal problems; we should not let them fall.
- They have eye problems so if anyone gets stuck in the tunnel, their call for help will be projected clearly.
We are designing a playground for children diagnosed wth Down Syndrome. We hope that the children will enjoy our design. By: Wen Jun(Leader), Choon Wang(Design I/C), Brian(Secretary), Hua Yeow(Researcher), Chris(Building I/C), Yun Kit(Presenter)
