Our final member of the group (Jessi) arrived on Saturday, and the group re-charged their batteries in the jungle yesterday(Sunday), after a pretty intense design week.
This morning's get together started off with everyone presenting their models and drawings to the group and talking through them all. The playground models are looking great, and we're almost set to go to go back to the school and present our ideas to the school children and teachers. Very exciting!
The 'creative' group have come up with an interactive wall in which the small children can play with musical instruments as well as games like 'knots and crosses'. There will also be shaded benches and swings in this area with the stage/performace/outdoor classroom space being the final piece to be developed. A couple of us have been focusing on this today, and its been a tricky process as this space is to provide lots of shading, to be large enough to fit a class of 20 children on for outdoor learning or performing, but also be a piece of apparatus in which all the kids can interact with by climbing and exploring the structure. And of course its to be beautiful too!!... Hopefully this will be something that comes together over the next day or two.
