Playground Project 002

Fazrina's Group 2008

3 groups have uploaded the pics of playgrounds in Tampines as well as their critique. Well Done. I have already gone to the 3 blogs and made comments on them. Pls look at the comments so you can have a more fruitful session tomorrow.

1. Have your research ready - please upload research and give me the url if you had done Internet research or the bibliography of the book if you had done library research.

2. Picked out at least 5 to 6 factors that you will consider for your playground according to the target group.

3. Make sure you have a clear idea of the playground elements that you want for your target group. (look at 3)

4. Consider the SEL components before making a decision - Socio-emotional components. This means what elements would be good for the emotional and mental well-being of the target group? Colours? Art? Music?

PS. Remember that a playground should satisfy the safety issues, SEL as well as their physical self.

The Playground Project 001

QiJia's Playground in 2008

1. Read the assignment sheet for the Playground Project. I had given it to Che En this morning.

2. Decide on your target group for the project. Remember that different target groups would have different needs in a playground. You have to decide as group what these needs are and therefore what type of playground elements you need to have in your playground.

3. Go aound Tampines and take pictures of the types of playgrounds that you see. You should have at least 3 different playgrounds in different parts of Tampines so you can make a critical judgement about their general features. Your own playground would have to be very diffrent from the ones you see around this neighbourhood (depending on the chosen target group)

4. Upload pictures of the 3 Tampines playgrounds and write a 150- word critique about the good and bad points for the playgrounds. For eg, do they cater for different children, different ages, different needs. For this part, you should consider children like yourselves (not special needs children)

No 4 must be completed by 23/3 at 8 pm. Send word to me (in this post's comments section once you have completed the assignment).

I will post other instructions next week so be sure to check this blog during the holidays.

Si Jing and group

I have to post my coomets here as I can't get into your comments box. I keep getting some page for me to buy things!!

Good work on the foreshadowing. Excellent work I must say. I will consider the ex as you had good reason for the toruble but please this will be the last time. 8/10 for the ex.

Notice for all

Good work everyone!

I have gone to all the blogs and marked the work /10 as well as the blogskin /5. The blogs that I had actually managed to read are Rachel's, Jiaying's (you need to redo please) , Nicholas's, Simin's, Cherlyn's. I cannot get to Che En's blog (still!!!) nor Ariel's blog. That will be all the blogs that I would consider. I have 35 pupils all accounted for. Congrats Cherlyn for finding a truly appropriate blogskin. I especially liked the quotation about dreams.

I will consider Che En and Ariel's blog as you had done the work but there may be other probelms with the site or with my ability to access your site. Speak to me about it tomorrow.

The 5 who have yet to link, maybe you should reconsider your options. I will not be marking your blog entries as you have not spoken to me about any extension of the time. If I have 7 groups already linked, I fail to see your difficulty.

Che En

You need to send me an invite I think. I still cannot get into your blog with the email that I had given you, which is my email for this blog comments. I do not know what other problem I might get into so tom after class, you will open the blog for me and then intsruct me how to get into the blog without an invitation.

Che_en, Nicholas and Arile. Pls read

Chen-en, I can't get into your blog. There is no notification for me in my email to register or anything else. The address that you gave me was litchcikin.blogspot.com. Is this correct?

Nicholas - The Blogger msg is - No blog found. Please review the link you gave me. Ok I got the right link from Jia Ying's blog. (5.35 pm)

Ariel - This page cannot be displayed.
