Robot Day

Well the "ro-bags" and "ro-boxes" are finally unpacked and robot day was here.

We had two wonderful dads, Chris and Dermott, volunteer to help us make our robots. Mrs Fale was on the hot glue gun station and we set off to make our robots.

There were washers flying this way and rubber bands flying that way! "Who has an extra eye?" ....I found someones nose !" were the sounds we could hear.

We could also smell the burning smell of the hot glue gun hard at work. " Oh, that's why it is called hot glue!" said Sam.

Dermott was busy helping his line of students turn old vacuum cleaner bits and empty milk cartons into robots with smiles and quirky looks.

Chris was rivalling Mrs Fale for the title of HOT GLUE MASTER as he carefully assembled springs and washers into body parts and made these bits of metal come to life.

Mrs Fale thought today would give her a headache but at the end of the day she was so proud of us and our robots that we had three cheers for ourselves. She couldn't clap as her fingers were sporting a few hot glue gun mishaps !

Tomorrow some of us are spray painting ours while others are leaving theirs for the more rustic look.

Martin Horspool was our inspiration but he better watch out because I think we are after his job !

Thanks for showing us the beauty in a broken telephone and the potential a tangled mess of wire has. You were truly inspirational.

We will post more pictures tomorrow of the final products once the glue and paint have dried.

    Is the boy with the red hair a real boy or is he a robot also.
