MissJumiah, You Can Comment At Your Blog As We Find That It Would Be Difficult For You To Type A Comment With Many Words At The Cbox (: Just Leave A Tag Or Reminder At The Cbox And We Would Check The Comments At Your Blog (:

We decided on using the colours of Red, Yellow And Orange as Miss Jumiah Has Told Us That The Colours Yellow And Orange Works Well With The Human Brain (:
Elements To Our Playground :

1. Soft Balls Of Different Colours Stored Within A Compartment With Net Surrounding It

- Kids Who Have Experienced Emotional Trauma Would Feel Better With Things That Are Safe, And Soft Items That They Use To Play Can Make Them Feel At Ease, Since Some Kids Who Experience Emotional Trauma Might Have Been Kids Who Has Experience Abuse, And The Abuser Would Often Use Hard Items To Hit, Beat Or Torture The Kids, And Not Enough Love Is Given To Them, So Soft Items Make Them Feel Safer (: -

2. A Rainbow (:

- Kids Always Get Excited Over Rainbows, Don't They? Rainbows Are A Symbol Of Happiness, In Pictures And Fairy Tales,And If A World Of A Fairy Tale Has No Rainbows, Would You Say That Is A Happy Place?

3.Water Slide!

- Kids Love Playing With Water Under The Sun, Moreover In A Hot And Sunny Singapore (: WildWildWet Is One Of The Top Places That Parents Bring Kids To During The School Holidays, And The Reason To That? It's Fun, And Cooling (: For Our Water Slide, We Will Make Sure It's A Safe One, Since No One Would Want An Accident Or Death Occurring In A Playground, Right? If Such Accidents Happen, I Don't Think Parents Would Allow Kids To Play At This Playground Again, Isn't It?

4. A Shelter (:

- In Sunny Singapore, A Shelter Is An Essential Need (:
We Wouldn't Want Our Future Generation To Suffer From Heat Stroke Right?

5.Plantation

-We Can Teach Kids The Importance Of The Not Wasting Their Food, As It Would Take A long Time For The Plant To Finally Grow. This Can Allow Them To Come Back To The Playground Constantly To Check On Their Plants. A Gardener Will Be Hired To Keep The Plants Constantly Hydrated, And Healthy (:

Our Comments & Ideas for The Playgrounds

For This Playground, We Find It A Fun Challenge For Kids Who Are Hyper-Active, But It Is Not very safe for them still, As Kids Will Lose Balance And Fall. We Tried Playing On It Personally, And We Found That The Materials Used Are Not Safe. The Ropes Used Can Cause Cuts If Accidents Happens. The Materials Used For The Steps In The Playground Is Slippery Too, And Will Cause The Kids who are Using It To Slip And Injure Themselves. Metal Is also a Conductor Of Heat, And In the hot climate of Singapore, The Metals Used To Construct The Playground Might Be Too Hot For A Child To Play With.

For This Playground, It Can Be Used To Motivate Kids Of Age 3 To 5 Who Has Lost Their Confidence Over Some Incidents, As Their Family Members, Or Even Teachers Can Make Use Of The Playground That Seems To Be An Obstacle To Motivate Them By Climbing Up The Steps To Prove To Them That They Can Do It As Long As They Have Perseverance Within Them.

We Think That This Playground Is Quite A Safe One, As The Steps Are Not Too steep , And There are Handles Beside It for them to hold. The Colours Comprises Of Red, One Of The Most Attracting Colour To Kids Of Age 1 To 3. Blue, One Of The Most Common Colours Known To Kids Are Used To Paint The Sides Of The Playground. We Saw Some Kids Running To This Playground, Probably It Is Because Kids Are Attracted To Playgrounds No Matter What Colours Are Used On Them.

This Playground Is Similar To The One Above, And There Is A Bridge Connecting The Playground, Which Can Allow Many Games That Involves Imagination To Take Place. (:

This Playground Is Indeed Dull, But It Is A Very Safe Playground As The Steps Are Big Enough and the playground is not very high. Therefore even If A Kid Falls From The Highest Point Of This Playground, Probably The Injuries Would Not Be Very Serious , as There Is A Rubber Ground Which Can Help Minimise The Impact Of The Injuries.
