We worked a lot on fixing our toy mechanism, padlet, and more. Our padlet is close to finished ardour to is working extremely well. However, our peacock tail is very lopsided to the left, but we decided to not fix that as it looked nice.

Our peacock tail is very heavy and the wire isn't too stable. We are working very hard to fix this.

So nervous about today it has been such a great experience and I will be sad when it is allover we have worked so hard our mechanism is not quite as good as we could have made it but we are trying really hard to complete our project and we are hoping our peacock is up to standard we are almost ready to preasent but we want so bad to fix our mechanism. -Eleanor

This week I have learnt many great skills but here are 2.
1.  working as a group when you compromise and choose together who has what job
2. using different skills (technology and craft/engineering) to do projects

I think we did really well today at getting our advertisement done quickly and organising and prioritising what we needed to do
Lily

# data[].attributes.body
We had a little problem today when we were constructing the mechanisms and movement of our toy, we found our that our tail was too heavy and the wire wasn't strong enough to hold it up. This meant our movement was not working and our peacock would not be able to fan out its tail. We are still trying out some new ways and even if we don't end up getting our toy to fan out its tail, I just know we can work out a way to find some other cool movement. We will see what happens tomorrow!
Lily

Our tail is working very well
Zoe

Our peacock is definitely going to meet our audience's needs as our peacock is going to be shiny and glittery. It's tail will fan out just as planned and it will be great to watch. I am sure that the audience will love our peacock.

Our toy is directed to kids age 6-10, probably girls. Adults will be buying their kids' toys so we want our vibrant colours and bedazzled peacock to catch their eyes and get them interested in it for their children. Kids can use this as an entertaining, playful, fun and exciting toy as well as beautiful decoration in their bedroom

An Indian peacock has a dark royal blue body with a white ring around their eyes. The have black and white striped wings and an extremely long tail with a spot on each feather. When a peacock wants to impress somebody or scare away predators, they will fan out all their feathers which can reach up to 2 meters. A peacock also has a blue crest with small blue feathers at the end.

The steam shop was really cool when we went. We were given our $10 and had already done our planning sheet to show what we needed for our toy. We only spent $4 at the shop because we will get the rest of our supplies out of school. I can't wait to see how it turns out!
Lily

When a peafowl wants to open his feathers he will do it suddenly and then shimmer his feathers a bit. He will extend the tail even more, it is a very graceful movement making the peacock a very beautiful bird. It is really amazing to watch.

We have tried really hard today to make sure that we finish our Adobe Illustrator and try out our prototype and it worked!
My team and I were so happy that we had completed something that really worked. We are now just finishing our good copy of our Adobe Illustrator file and we are going to send it off to the laser printer for our timber version. We are really ready to put all our parts together and cannot wait. -Eleanor

I found that we learnt from our mistakes when we made the prototype as we made lots of correction on the Adobe Illustrator. We haven't completely tested out the mechanism as we put one of the holes in the wrong place. Now we know where we should put the holes for next time.

At first, it was a bit difficult to start working keynote. However, we started to get the hang of it and began to do really well.
Lily

Today I learnt that problem solving was very important in making the shapes. As an example, as we were working on the fanning out tail, Eleanor and I realised that we had to move the holes otherwise it wouldn't work. Therefore, we changed the placement of the holes in the Adobe Illustrator.

What Is a Peacock?

Imagine walking around a zoo, where most of the animals are in cages or behind glass. You notice a large, colorful bird that is freely walking toward you in the crowd. It is dragging some very long feathers behind it as it walks. Suddenly, those brightly colored feathers pop up and spread out into a huge fan behind it. Everyone stops to look. You have just seen a peacock!

A peacock is a large, male bird that can lift up its long, colorful tail feathers and spread them open like a fan. It is also called a peafowl. The spots on its feathers look like eyes and are very brightly colored so that they can get the attention of a female, just like it got everyone's attention walking around at the zoo. The bigger and brighter the feathers are, the better! Their tails alone can be about 6 feet long!

A peacock's fancy feathers aren't just good for getting the attention of the ladies, however. If he is in danger, a peacock will fluff up his feathers to make himself look much bigger than he really is, to scare off the enemy.

The females are called peahens and are a brownish color. They don't have the beautiful, long tail feathers that the males have, but there's an important reason why they are so plain. After a peahen lays her eggs, she sits on them in a nest on the ground until they hatch. That brown color helps hide her in the bushes so that she and her eggs don't become snacks! The babies that hatch out of the eggs are called peachicks, and the peahen will take care of them by herself as they grow up.

Can Peacocks Fly?

As big as they are, and with all those feathers the males drag around, peacocks and peahens can fly! Though there are bigger birds in the world, the peacock is one of the biggest that can still take to the sky.

We thought of lots of amazing ways to decorate. we decided we would add sequins as the scales/feathers that are all over the peacocks body and we would make the tale a fan so that we could open it. we are going to add rhinestones and other beautiful decor to make our peacock stand out. we are using a very different design that no one else has done so we are slightly nervous about whether it will work in the end but we are also really excited about seeing how it works out in the end.-Eleanor

Here are some ideas for the colours we want for our peacock. We want it to really stand out with vibrant colours to grab people's attention.

# data[].attributes.body
We had lots of different ideas to make the peacock feathers fan out and we looked at lots of different options on google.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it quite hard to find the right measurement as a peacock has extremely large feathers. This means that the body will be small and the feathers will be rare. However, we decided to just go along with it and make it look amazing.

We found it quite hard to find the right animal for this project as we wanted it to be original and different.
