Look back next week to see our fabulous robots!

Poetry

Today we have been learning how to write limerick poems. We wrote a poem about Rex, a dinosaur in our class. It is very silly and we had good fun thinking of rhymes.

3D Robot Junk Modelling

Today we started to create some 3D robots using junk materials we collected from home. We used different 3D shapes for the head, body, arms and legs. We used masking tape to stick all the parts together and tomorrow we will use paper mache to make our robots stronger! We had a great time creating our robots, have a look at the pictures below!
