A Robot Invention

Ben and his dad had no money. One day his dad said, “Go out and mow the lawn.” An  idea popped into Ben’s head. He might make a robot that can cut the grass.

Ben was relaxing. He forgot about the robot. When Ben woke up he thought “Where has my robot had gone?” He thought it was lost.

Finally a stranger found it. She took it to her house. It started to cut the stranger’s grass. All of a sudden the robot disappeared. The stranger called the police. The police went to Ben’s house.

Ben told the truth about what happened. Ben called his dad and his dad came quickly. His dad wasn't happy.

Then the police gave Ben’s dad money. Surprisingly his dad bought a mower. He and his dad were rich.  

The Happy Motor Robot

Once upon a time there was a girl named Maya  who had no money. Her  skin colour was brown. Her Mum and Dad said, “If you mow the lawn you will get money”. But Maya didn't want to mow the lawn so she thought she might  invent  a robot. She got sharp scissors, a red real dangerous laser, and old cool guitar strings that were broken.

She stayed up all night. Maya worked hard building her robot but she need help from her friend Raycheal. They stayed up all night. Maya said, “It's alive poow! Oh never mind”.

When it was morning the girls went outside  a red cabinet with the robot. They were  contented.

After that they took the blanket off. Then it worked. Next they played inside all day. After that Maya and Raycheal said, “Where has robot going to. “

Surprisingly it was nowhere to be found. So they searched for it the whole time. Suddenly it was going to fall down a pointy hill. He stepped one closer. Next he fell down really hard into the ground.  Boom! He crashed down on the hard ground. Suddenly they felt sorry for him then Maya and Raycheal never made a robot again.

Hiwi the Kiwi

Today the whole Manurewa Central School came to   see Hiwi the Kiwi show. First we walked silently into the assembly. Secretly I heard music on the front. Mrs

Minstrel and Mr Minstrel were in the auditorium to teach us about looking after fish and seabirds.

Nirmit quickly came down. Mr Minstrel told him to hold a fake fish. Next he told him to measure the fish with a little short ruler and see if the fish is too small.  

Mr Minstrel told us about using a wet towel for fish.

And if the fish is too small you have to grab the fish and put it back in the sea. Put it on the big plastic box with  salted ice because it helps the fish get bigger.

Mr Minstrel told us again about that you need a life jacket. He told us a story about 3 people who weren’t wearing a life jacket who went on the boat. Then after that they went inside the water. Splash. Suddenly they sank in  the water. That's why you need a life jacket.

My favorite part was when he told the story about 3

people.
