- We use toilet paper rolls to make the tree trunks

Playground concept that are linked to the novel:

- We have built a tree house as there is also a tree house to bridge to terabithia

- Jess and Leslie need to cross a river in order to get to terabithia and we painted a river in our playground

- We have built a bridge as Jess had built an imaginary bridge at the end of the story

Playground design that meets the special needs of the children:

- the soft and rubbery material for the flooring

- the soft seats on the see-saw

- there are benches in the playground

- the toys in the playground are all soft and rubbery

- the playground is filled with bright colours

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

- the soft and rubbery material for the flooring is so as to ensure that the children do not hurt themselves when they fall

- the soft seats on the see-saw is to make the children feel comfortable

- the benches are there so that the children can watch the television and also rest if they are tired

- the toys in the playground are all soft and rubbery so the children will not get hurt

- the playground is filled with bright colours as children likes things with bright colours and it will make the happy
