Eco-friendly features about my group's 3D-model:

~The tree trunk is made of toilet roll

~The seat of the swing is made of used paper and wrap it with black tape

~We use green coloured paper to make the leaves of the tree

~We crush small bit of used paper (including the leftover of the green coloured paper) and paint a coating over it

~We used toothpicks as the handle of the see-saw

~We used chips of egg shell to make the pathway

~We used peg as the stand of the trampoline

~We used straws to make benches

~Teribithia was a treehouse so we build this playground with the idea of having a treehouse

~The swing as the swing in the movie to cross to Teribithia

Playground design that meets the special needs of the children:

~soft and rubbery materials used for mat

~benches

~soft toys

Explanation of how the design meets the special needs of children:

~the soft and rubbery mat will ensure that the children will not injured themselves badly when they fall down while playing

~the soft toys will not hurt the children as they are soft and cause no danger

~the benches is for the children to sit while watching the television and to take a rest after playing

~the colour of the playground should let the terminally ill children to feel happy and have fun playing when they can play
