Dear Mr Mah
IMPROVEMENTS FOR PLAYGROUND IN TAMPINES
I am a student from Pasir Ris Secondary school. The purpose of writing is to introduce new designs for the playgrounds in the Tampines area. As our Literature SA1, we had to come up with a playground that suit the needs of special children.
In our groups, we were assigned to cater the special needs for children. For terminally ill-ed children, spastic children and such. My group was assigned to do, based on children who are terminally ill-ed. Based on our research, we have found out that children who fall in that category, need special attention as they feel dejected each time their condition worsens. Also, they should spend their last days happily and leave with no regrets.
Playgrounds in Tampines are a common sight. But those with charisma and catering to the special needs that they need are hard to find.
In my group’s design, we come up with a design.
The 1st floor of the playground consists of a bench, a hammock. This allows the children to sleep or rest in. The second floor consists of tables and chair to allow children to do their work there. The door is the second floor is not a door but a slide, they can slide down after they finish their work. Also, there is a bridge to connect the other part of the playground.
The other part consists of children games.
I appeal to you that you take a look into this proposal and do those unfortunate a favour. Together we can help make a difference to those kids.
Yours Sincerely,
Ben
