Year Four have been looking at the story of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Ted Dewan. They have used this as inspiration to design their own robots to solve their problems. Here are snippets from some of our robot and setting descriptions.


The Robo 2000 is no ordinary robot. In just a few moments it can hoover an entire room leaving the carpet as soft as golden sand between your toes. He is as majestic as a magician finishing his tasks within the blink of an eye. He cleans like a flash of lightning  and occasionally he even does the washing up.

Scolo 6000 is not just chic it’s extraordinary! Don’t think I’m being ridiculous because if you do you are wrong! Its cuboid head turns all the way around like a ravenous owl searching for its petrified prey which is hiding among the filth that is my room.

As I stumbled across the putrid mess of the disaster that was my room I slip on an old maggot infested pizza! At the edge of my room I can see a sticky spider web stuck to the wall as stiff as a solid statue guarding the mess. Despite the drawers being closed I can still hear spiders scuttling around inside while they hide from the prying eyes of the spiders. Even though I close my nose, the smell of dirty dampness still invades it nose, stinging me as I breathe in. Dust is thrown into the air with the wind of a passing bee zooming like lightening through the danger zone.

The Busy Bot 2000 has everything you need from a hoover to a microwave. The coolest thing about this robot is that it can transform into a car, a table, a chair, a box as small as a mouse to store it in mini spaces and many more objects! This robot will suite all of your needs. It also looks very pretty as is it is a gleaming ruby red. One of the trendiest features of the Busy Bot is its I pod which is stuck to the Busy Bot’s polka dotted back, ready to perform at a seconds notice.  You won’t hear the Busy Bot moving, as it glides from one place to another as silently as an owl drifting through the night.
