Team leader who acts a coordinator, an implementer and a completer which will conduct meetings, discussions and turn big ideas into manageable tasks and plans that can be achieved as well as drive the deadlines and make sure they are achieved.
Specialist who will provide specialist skills and knowledge in design and ICT and has a dedicated and single-minded approach.
Plant who will come out with original ideas and challenge the traditional way of thinking about things.
Resource investigator who has the strongest contacts and networks, and is excellent at
bringing in information and support from the outside.
- The students can present their work in the form of working paper, ICT- PowerPoint or
other mean of presentation.
4. You can ask your students to look for the price of the items used in the garden themselves
or you can given them the price list.

foot path surrounding the circular pond.
(ii)Two main sculptures with a distance of 6 metres away from each other.
(iii)A foot path is built in such a way that when you stand at the footpath you are always the same distance from the two sculptures (ii).
(iv)Two rows of flower bed which are always 1.5 metres from the foot path in (iii).
(v)You can add in extra features and design with as stated in the item list.
