playground concept that are linked to the novel:
~ River
~ swing
~ treehouse
~ bridge

Explanation of how the designs are linked to the novel:
~ We have chosen the forest theme is linked to Bridge Terabithia which is inclusive of the treehouse, stuff toys, flower decoration
~ In the movie, a treehouse was build which we have also included in our model
~ A bridge to Bridge terabithia at the end of the movie where Jess on his own, we have also build a small bridge of our own linking from one side of the painted river to the other side. (p.s our playground does not have a river. just blue painted floor. it is for both our actual and model playground.)


Playground design that meets the special needs of the children:
~ soft and rubbery materials
~ Benches for sitting purposes and to sit to watch television
~ half filled plastic balls
~ soft rubbery stuff toys

Explanation of how the design meets the special needs of children:
~ terminally ill children need the most fun before they suffer from their illness so this playground is build for the best for the children
~ it is build with safe materials for the protection of the children and yet fun items in the playground to play.
~ the stuff toys are made of rubber for the chidldren to not hurt themselves as it is soft
~ we do not fill the plastic ball to the brim just about half as so not to be as high as the children.
