Automata toys


This week Koka Jo and Koka Claire were in MLH and we made Automata toys. Last week we filled in planning sheets in teams of two and three I was in a team with Esther and Josephine.

When we we started making our Automata toys it was my job to make the cams, Esther's job to make the frame and Josephine's job to make the handle. We all started doing what we were supposed to do. Once I had traced the shape of the two cams I cut them out and stuck a skewer in one of the cams. I put the cam in the finished frame that Esther had all ready made. Once the skewer was secure Josie glued the handle on the Automata. 

When everything was secure we put the follower on the toy and stuck the follower on the Automata. We also stuck two pieces of paper that had the Earth on it together and stuffed more paper in it and used that for the toy on the top of our automata. We thought we were finished but Koka Jo tolds us to paint it so we painted it black.

Term 3 Week 5

This week was pretty normal we had to finish normal priorities, but we only had three days to finish them. Because on wednesday we found out that we were spending to wednesdays (including that wednesday) automata toys.

 The teachers explained that we needed to get into groups of two or three and needed to fill out a plan of what our toy needed to look like. After morning tea we got into groups I got into a pair with Josephine. We didn't get the get the plan finished but that's ok we have until Monday to finish it.
