Sec 2 Express



1) Eco-friendly features about my group's 3d model

-Most of the materials are biodegradable and does not contribute to the harm of the environment.
-They include ice-cream sticks,magazines,strings,toilet rolls etc.
-They can be reuse,reduce and recyled.
-Reuse:When the project is done,the materials can be used for other activities.
-Reduce:We cut down the material usage as much as possible as to save the trees or other sources from depleting.
-Recyle:When the project is done,these materials can be recyled to make other objects so that lesser materials would be used.

2)Playground designs/concepts that are linked to the novel/Explanations on how designs/concepts are linked to the novel.

-At the entrance to the model,there is a bridge.This links to the novel as the novel's main part is about the imaginary bridge to the imaginary world Terabithia.

-The floor of the playground is also colored green as to give a atmosphere of a forest scene for the children to feel.

-The entrance to the doodle room seems like a imaginary gate to welcome Jesse and Leslie/May Belle to Terabithia and this can give the children a clearer view of the entrance to Terabithia and they would be more interested to find out about the novel.

-The fence surrounding each corner also depicts a similar scene to where Jesse and Leslie first met when Jesse was milking the cow.

3)Playground designs/concepts that meet the special needs of children/Explanation on how the designs meet the special needs of children.

-When the slide rolls down to the balls corner,there is cotton on it,so children would not get hurt when they slide down.Also,when children are playing in the balls corner,they would not injure themselves easily as there is cotton to support them.

-The merry-go-round also had a stable stand,so when the children are playing on it,they are advised to held on it tightly so that they would not fall off the merry-go-round.

-The doodle corner can also help them to vent their sorrows or angry by doodling on the boards using the markers provided and the parents can also understand what their child is thinking and can come up with ways to solve their problems.

-The whole playground is made up of ''friendly'' materials,that means it does not contribute to leading the children to injure themselves easily,example the floor is made of cotton,so that when they fall down,there would not injure themselves and let the wound expose to the surroundings.

-Bright colours are used as results has shown that bright colours lift up the spirits of children and they would feel happpy when they enter the playground and surrounded by a relax feeling.
