Session 2:
1) Summarise your research findings and state how they would affect your playground design
_____________________________________________________________________



  • Floorings of the playground will be coloured red, orange, yellow, blue, brown floor tiles. They will be used to replace the rubber material that is commonly used by playgrounds. The arrangement will be mixed with white tiles as an alternative. Try to limit to using these colours.

-Red- Color of energy. Associated with movement and excitement.
-Orange- Fun times, happy and energetic days, remotely calm. New dawn in attitude.
-Yellow- Colour of the sun. Laughter, happiness, optimistic and good times. Golden shades of yellow associated with promise of better times.
-Blue- Calm and focused.
-Brown- Stability and friendship.

  • Using classical music

-Rather soothing to the ear; help them cope better with their emotions.

-Examples: Canon in D, River flows in you, Symphony no.6 and more..

  • Chocolates given away for free at the vending machine.

-Chocolate is a mood elevator; overcome their emotions and feel better

-Young children love to eat desserts; may help in cheering them up

-Overeating unhealthy food can lead to diet-related diseases; set a limit to the number of times a children can have his or her chocolates per day so as to maintain a healthy weight. Tap card system.

  • Treehouse providing drawing papers and other materials.

-Enable them to express their thoughts through drawing

-Help them cope with their emotions

-Enhance their creativity; allow them to overcome their trauma gradually and eventually, build up their self-confidence.

  • A bridge with a pond will be built.

-Build up a sense of responsibility in them

-Give them companionship and enjoyment

-Forget their troubles

-Have non-trivial health benefits, as research has shown

-Relieve stress.

  • A swing next to the bridge

-Play with

-Relevant to novel

-Disapprove them to swing on a rope like how they do in the novel; dangerous

  • Sports activities at the mini field.

-Beneficial to both their health and emotional problems.

-Forget their problems when they run

-Feel that they are free of stress and difficulties

-Sport events, such as soccer tournaments, could be organised for them at the mini field if they get bored of running or prefer other sports.

  • 'Sound Transporting' System

-Children speak into the microphone-like thing; counsellor at the other end of the 'tube' to counsel them and give them necessary advice

-Useful for children who are too shy to approach a counsellor and ask for advice.
