We're going to have safe flights of stairs for the playground.
Why?
We're designing for the handicapped and definately we don't want them to get injured in the process of playing so we also definately need safe ground not sand as the children might fall and if we have a soft ground they won't be injured at all.

Design Brief(17 April 2008)
-The playground will have great swings and extra-safe carousal seats,handicapped children will have alot of fun.
-Sound pipes made up of bamboo can be inserted so that the children can make funny noises using them.
-The area could also contain an artificial waterfall under which the youngsters can walk or ride on.
-A grassy knoll up which they can crawl would be nice.
-A periscope for them to peer over the fence.
-Shallow pools are set waist high so that wheelchair patients can bathe their dolls or sail their boats.
-A huge foam-rubber mattres cuishions a play pit for the dissabled.
-A tensioned web floor is a stable floor with a great deal of traction.

Thursday 3rd April
We went to computer laboratory 2 and worked on our project and our blog. Not much was done as 3 of us were NOT doing anything especially the builder I/C and the design I/C.
We found some pictures on www.yahoo.com and loaded it into our phones so we can upload it when we get home as the computer was not operating as desired.
