Learning about Robots
By Karen Shew and Siyang Chen

What we thought

• First we got a piece of paper from the teacher
  and then we drew a robot.
• Then we labelled the parts of the robot and then
  we wrote what we thought was a robot.

3
What we did after

• After we did that sheet we read a book about
  robots. We listened to how some robots have
  jobs. Then we shared some ideas about what the
  page was about.

Show and Tell!

• Some people from Room 16 brought in their robots.
  These were the people brought in their robots
  Reid, who brought in a robot dog, Adam who bought
  in a normal robot, Young Jun who also bought one
  in and Josh who bought in a dinosaur.

5
What we thought was a robot and machine

• After show and tell we thought about what the
  differences were between robots and machines. We
  compared this with the peoples robots. None of
  us really knew what the difference was.

6
Sorting and Sifting

• After that we had to sort shapes. We sorted them
  by their pattern, how many sides or corner and by
  shape. We were learning to sift and sort.

7
What we did

• After that we went around the other peoples
  work. Then we went back to our own tables. Then
  we had to do another way. My table said How
  about doing in a pattern. We all said yes. There
  are many different ways to sort objects.

Sorting and sifting Robots

• We sorted and sifted robots into different
  categories.
• Every group sorted them differently
• We sorted into groups like toy robots, machines,
  police robots, space robots and industrial
  robots.

Learning how to use a Bee-Bot

• On a Wednesday and Thursday we had the Bee-Bots.
  We got a Bee-Bot and it looked very hard but it
  was easy. All you had to do was press the buttons
  which programmed it to go sideways, forwards and
  backwards.

How to use Brain box

• We also had the Bee-Bots we had Brain box and we
  had to make a circuit out of those stuff inside
  it. There was also a instructions book and inside
  was circuits that you could make. We made
  circuits with lights, and sirens. Robots have
  circuits inside them to make them work.

Making a Power Point

• The whole class has made power points about what
  we have learnt
• We add to them every week to update what we did

Planning

• We are now planning to build a robot
• We designed a brief and are working hard to meet
  it.
• We cant wait
