Process of making of playground Part 2(At the classroom during literature lesson)


During the literature lesson today, our group members started fixing the playground. We pasted the parts of the playground together on the cardboard - the base of our playground, excluding the Styrofoam board. We took some pictures during the process of making the playground... Please enjoy=D

Pictures taken during literature lessons:




























From today's model sticking, we can proceed to decorating our sytrofoam board and place our playground model on top of the styrofoam board. Thus, i think we can start on the making of the presentaion powerpoint the moment we finish the making of the model.
Good luck to my group!!!=D

Today the whole group went to our group leader, Randyne's house. During the whole time in Randyne's house, we planned on how to create the model and worked it out. We cut out the bases for the playground, painted it and created some essentials for the playground such as the ladder, the slide and the treehouse. In the end, the main base was painted blue, for the second level, the left is painted yellow and the right is green. The treehouse is made with the ice-cream sticks and the paper cups. The trees created by Malorie is made with the toilet paper roll as the trunk and tissue papers in green and yellow paint as the leaves. These trees used recycleable materials - it can conserve the earth and not to waste mone on items that can be taken from home.






Here are some of the pictures taken during that time:






There are still many not posted yet!! Pls wait for more!!!

Inspired By Novel...

1.) Jess & Leslie are drawn together as friends because they both feel different.
- Emotinally traumatized kids feel are often left out due to their behaviour, this makes them feel that they are being rejected because of being different.

2.) Jess & Leslie come to respect and support each other.
- Our playground is specially designed for emotionally traumatized kids for the same reason. We want our playground to be able to teach them learn and help each other learn how to love, care, respect, react to one another.

3.) From the novel, Terabithia is an imaginary magical kingdom.

- Our "Terabithia" is designed for the same goal. We want them to be able to draw strenght from our playground, feeling strong and free.

- Making them step out of their comfort zone. It is a place to feel safe and free to be who they are, and for the first time, they dare to feel great for themselves.

- We designed and build our playground to be as warm and as encouraging as "Terabithia"!
