Dear Mr Mah
Feedback about the playgrounds in tampines suggestions to improve them.
I am a sec 2 student from PRSS.Recently,my school had just move from its temporary building at bedok.Currently ,we are at tampines street 21.I noticed that there are quite a lot of playground in tampines area.But I realised that all the facilities in the playground are not suitable for the children with disabilities.,children that we must pay more attention to.
My friends and I had designed a playground that is specially design for the children with terminal illness.We know that these childrens with terminal illness wont live long.So,our objective is to design and build the playground to let them enjoy and live their life to the fullest during their remaining days.
We use pure rubber for the flooring of the playground.this is to let them play without injuring themselves.We also include a maze inside our playground.There are reasons why we create the maze.In the real maze,u will find that it is difficult to go out of the maze.We can apply this to life.Life is not always easy as what the normal people will always think.We chose bright colurs to design the playground as we thought that so that they would “brighten up” their lives during their remaining days.
I thought that the current playground is designed only for normal kids.So I hope you will take into consideration ni building a playground designed by us.
Yours faithfully,
