Primary One rose to the challenge!!!

| 0 comments

A mystery box was delivered to the Primary One classroom this afternoon. We looked at it, we lifted it and we felt how heavy it was. We gave it a shake, a very careful shake, just in case. Oh this was exciting.

Abracadabra out came the contents of the box.img_3245

We sat in a circle and using our thinking skills we talked about the contents of the box.

“I see two spheres”,

” I think you would wear the glove on a cold day”

“I wonder if the switch rings a bell”

img_3247Just as we were looking at the things in the box, Roberta our class robot woke up. Her eyes shone blue and her arms started to wave back and forward. She is very nosy and likes to know what we are learning in Primary One.

She had a look at the contents of the box and ask the boys and girls what they were going to do with all the things.

We had lots of suggestions – we could make a house for Roberta using the box, we could make her a bed, we could make a picnic for her. ……

In the end the most popular suggestion was to make her a friend.

 

So we set about using all the bits and pieces to make a robot friend.

We wrapped different shapes in tin foil.   img_3249

We added arms to our robot.

 

 

 

 

img_3258We put features on the robot using the grapefruit, the switch, the spheres, the box of raisins and the small circle. We had to be shape detectives while we were doing this as all the items were now silver!! Primary One know their shapes so this was easy for them.

 

Finally Roberta had a friend.

We had great fun and Roberta was a happy robot.
