Playground Critique. Isaac's.
Friday, April 3, 2009

The colours in this largely metal playground is really diverse and nice. Though sadly, the blind wouldn't be able to see the colours. There are too many health hazards around.

For one, a blind person wouldn't know where to walk and might just stumble out of the playground. A fence should be erected around the premises. Also, they might walk right into a metal pole or knock their heads on low lying surfaces.

Should they manage to climb up the ladders onto the second level, they might fall down if they are not careful. The floor of the playground should be a soft material to cushion the impact.

I think this playground is really elaborate and cool. And it makes use of different surfaces. Its more like an adventure playground or a maze, where they have to navigate the series of tunnels and slides. So its fun.

Its definitely safe too, as there are cushion mats at the bottom, and at raised platforms there are mesh coverings or bamboo barriers to prevent children going over the edge, especially the blind.

One thing i don't really like about this playground is its compactness. Everything feels very tight, and that means everyone has to be constantly moving so as not to bump into one another or lag the rest. Even though they're blind, i think that it should be spaced out a little, as they do not need to rush things through but instead can take time to "see" the playground through touching.

A Single Spotlight.

So take one word you said.
You put it in your bed, you rest your tiny head on your pillow.
You wonder where you're going next, you got your head pushed to my chest.
And now you're hoping, that someone lets you in.
Well I'll sure let you in, you know I'll let you in.
Oh Kelsey, you.


I nearly forgot. Janice, Denise, Jia Hui, Sofyan and Isaac are our names, and Literature is our game. You're here now, do stay and look around. I've made my speech so now I'll shut up.
