__Persuasive Letter__

Dear MathsIsland Community Planning Committee,

I’m happy to see that you will take a look at my park. I think you should choose my park because of the nice design. It’s a very relaxing and safe place to go to, you can bring your family to a very nice park to have fun and relax. There will be a cozy picnic area and right next to it is the playground where the kids can play without being hurt. Some of the rules would be not to let dogs poo all over the place, not to pick flowers directly from the trees and do not litter. These are my rules and they seem quite easy to follow. I really hope you chose my park, if you do you will have very happy memories of your family going to that park.

Sincerely, Ms. Malaika

 * __Reflection__**

I wasn't able to see Emma (the person who volunteered) go in the wheelchair to the upper field.
 * How has your understanding of access to public spaces been changed by your experience of trying to access the Upper Field by wheelchair?**

I managed to do that because I had to think about how big all the things that i put in would be in real life. One grid unit was two meters so I had to visualize how big everything would be before I decided how big everything would be on the grid.
 * What have you learned about the process when designing the park? Eg, how did you manage to convert real dimensions to grid dimensions and vice versa?**

I think the way we made the parks was easy, quick and fun. I wouldn't change a thing for next year's class except maybe that they had maybe a bit more time.
 * What suggestions can you make for improving the process for next year’s students?**

 * This assignment was sooo fun! I hope we can do it again! :)**
