1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 1: We're looking for the best playgrounds that mid Canterbury has

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 1: to offer, all thanks to eat A Networks. Looking forward

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: to celebrating this on Friday. Thoughts welcome through the Hawknowy

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Ashburton facebook page. We got up yesterday with a guy

5
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:17,319
Speaker 1: named Ryan Archer from play Co, the largest builder of

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: playgrounds in the country, responsible for over four thousand of them,

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: been going for forty years and it was pretty neat

8
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: to learn that every week they get a group of

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: school students to come in and they've got this room.

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: It almost sounds like the Mad magazine office in New York,

11
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: or what we feel like it would be. They walk

12
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: into this room and all the walls of whiteboards and

13
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: each kid's given a pen and they said go nuts,

14
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 1: and that's how they come up with some of their

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,240
Speaker 1: new equipment ideas. And I thought, well, that's not silly.

16
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: Maybe we could try that on a local level, So

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: hit up my good buddy, missus Sirsty from Room three

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: at Hempstead School. Didn't expect it to loan into a

19
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: whole school project, so for the past couple of days

20
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 1: the kidlets in there have been tasked with researching and

21
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: then sketching up some incredible designs which we'll have to

22
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: go and share on our how can we ashbut and

23
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: Facebook page a little later today, concepts such as fairies

24
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: and unicorns and space. And then you've got some pretty

25
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: wild ideas such as Leo with his kid launcher two

26
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 1: and how does it work?

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: Ah, so you put the kid in and then you

28
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,119
Speaker 2: just get launched.

29
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: As like a cannon ball. Yeah kind of where does

30
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: the kid end up?

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 2: I don't know, somewhere in Mexico, I think if.

32
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 1: It's just for the naughty kids. And then Dylan and

33
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: Dominic with a cool concept.

34
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: Basically just dinosaurs. As I love dinosaur it's my favorite hobby.

35
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: So what are some of the dinosaurs that feature in

36
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the playground?

37
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 2: Spidersaurus, Ratner, we don't know what. One Triceratops, a Terrannidon

38
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: that looks like a character from Hollow Night.

39
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: It's almost like you're speaking another language. What different elements

40
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: we got here?

41
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 2: Oh we've got a flying fox, We've got we can

42
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 2: write this little tricera tops. At one point we wanted

43
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 2: to say the dinosaurs were real, but I don't think

44
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 2: I don't think we would do that.

45
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: The cost for the scientist was through the roof, right, Yeah.

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: And then there's this little cave here with a trampoline

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: and there's a veloci wraptor in it as well. Don't

48
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: ask why.

49
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: That's pretty cool the fact that you go underground to

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: use the trampoline, because usually that's the sort of thing

51
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 1: you'd find on top of the ground.

52
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. And then there's a really roller coaster you get

53
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 2: in through the building where we as you can see,

54
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: there's a dinosaur climbing off it.

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: So the money that we saved on the scientists, we're

56
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 1: spending on the earthworks and the roller coaster and the

57
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,079
Speaker 1: metal work.

58
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we haven't really. It has passed absolutely no safety checks.

59
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 2: But it doesn't matter.

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: It's just semantics, isn't that. It's just paperwork, Thank you.

61
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: Room three as Hampstead hope, Ryan from Playco is taking

62
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: notes and if he has any job vacancy is coming up,

63
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: he certainly knows where to go to fill those
