Dear Minister Mah,

Feedbacks and suggestions on how to improve the playground

Tampines is an area surrounded by a lot of families with children therefore I have decided to build a playground in this area for the children to enjoy. I’ve heard of all the things you had done for the neighborhood and thus, you are well respected by all of the residents. To make the playground a more interesting place for the children to play, I have gain feedbacks and suggestion from the neighbors as to how we can modify the playground.

In this project, we are supposed to make a model of the playground with recycled materials. And, we are to build a actual playground with a budget of 999k. We found
A theme to build our playground and that is, forest. To link to the book, Bridge of Terabithia, our playground must have certain areas which are similar to that of the book. And, this playground is to cater to the needs of the terminally ill children. We found materials to built the playground and we have found the cost prices of these materials. The total cost of the materials does not exceed the budget of 999k. With feedbacks from our literature teacher, we have also found ways to improve the current playground.

To improve the playground, we gathered feedbacks from the residents and our teacher. From the feedbacks, the playground is very safe for the children to play. However it is not attractive enough and it does not carry the mood of our purpose ----- to build a playground that makes the terminally ill children feel happier. Thus, we are only graded average for our playground. We have also gathered this feedback that the playground has too little things for the children to play. Thus we gotten suggestions to improve the playground.

We have decided to add pictures to the playground to liften the mood of the playground. We will also make more facilities in the playground so it can be a better place for the children to play. As we know that you would want all the best for the residents in this area, we hope that you could consider our suggestions and make changes to the playground. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,
