Robots

"I want to make a robot"

Keira provided the resources for children to make a robot. 

"I am a robot" 

Keira suggested making robot vests.

(Intent): knowing that the children's next steps were to use one handed tools to make snips, draw lines and circles (Implementation): Keira provide large cardboard box vests for the children to decorate. 

Moving like robots 

We then used the Bee-Bot robot
