As a whole class we will discuss the history of birds and where different types of birds originated from. We too will discuss adaptations and why we have adapted our birdfeeder to be squirrel proof.

# data[].attributes.body
We will question the children on birds that they know. We too will ask them the questions above and if they have any experience with looking after birds.

This is our squirrel proof bird feeder, it has been tested outdoors and fulfils it's purpose.

# data[].attributes.body
Before starting the process, we as a group sourced the materials and put our plan in place. We started the manufacture of the piece after this and enjoyed this process as a group.

# data[].attributes.body
1.We researched different bird feeders
2.We chose several designs we liked
3.We narrowed it down by discussing the pros and cons of the bird feeders

# data[].attributes.body
We were required to design and make a squirrel proof bird feeder. We, as a group collaborated our ideas to fulfil the brief.

# data[].attributes.body
By the end of this project, the child will be enabled to:
1.Use research and design criteria to make a bird feeder.
2. Identify the purposes of a bird feeder
3. Explore the functions of a squirrel proof bird feeder

# data[].attributes.body
1. What materials will we use to make our birdhouse?
2: What types of birds is the bird feeder targeted at?
3: How will we and the birds access the food?

# data[].attributes.body
We researched what a squirrel proof bird feeder was.

# data[].attributes.body
We investigated how we could construct the bird feeder

# data[].attributes.body
We watched videos on how we could make it squirrel proof

Our bird feeder needs to be:
1. Squirrel proof
2. Inexpensive and durable
3. Easy to construct

Steps involved in the production of the bird feeder

Steps involved in the production of the bird feeder 

# data[].attributes.body
1. We decided on a design. One of us drew out the design and put dimensions to it.
2. We sourced the materials needed (birch ply).
3. We prepared the wood and marked out the pieces for cutting.
4. We cut the main sides of the bird feeder and planed the edges to smooth them. We cut the hole for the birds t access the bird food.
5.We screwed together the four sides and pitched the roof.
6. We tacked the roof on and ensured the swivel side for the food access was working. we added the dowel and tightened on the sides.

The bird feeder fits the brief as it will hang on a tree and it will be squirrel proof.

# data[].attributes.body
The production of the bird feeder was simple and very manageable.

We worked well as a team, sharing ideas to create the best possible product.
