Recycled Alien Robot Invasion!!!

Our Recycled Reused Robots

We made our robots out of old milk bottles and bottle tops. We have been learning to construct a robot using a range of model joining techniques and practising a range of model making skills using scissors, glue and sellotape.

When we were making our robots we had to think carefully about the function of our robot. What can it do? Some can fly, some recycle and some can even serve food to you!

We are Robots!

We are busy robots!

What we did:

• First we wrapped our bottle in foil and pierced holes on either side of the bottle.
• Next we added arms and hands, hooks or pincers and attached them to the bottle using split pins.
• Then we made a control box using foil and a flap for a compartment.
• After that we made a head using a rolled up piece of card, a bottle top and a pipe cleaner for an antennae.
• Finally we personalised our robots by adding buttons and eyes using materials such as stickers and pom poms. We made a function for our robots giving them wheels, wings and helicopter blades.
