We got this book through the library because we asked the librarian for any robot-themed children's books they might have. Jacob loves robots and can watch endless streams of video on the Internet. Reading stories is also fun. This story is not exactly fun, but is very warm and touching. A robot... Your class will add the words or the pictures from the word mat to complete the sentences. They can also use the word mat to help with spelling. In Maths we will be covering a vast array of topic areas this half-term, such as place value within 20 (Y1), addition and subtraction within 20 (Y1), money (Y2) and multiplication and division (Y2). We will also finish off our Shape topic from before Christmas. From my first look at the cover of the book, I thought "tin man" from the Wizard of Oz. I don't know if it's my mood or what, but the message in this book seems too blatant and "in your face". I love the illustrations, and the whole idea of the bird giving life to this robot who is missing his he...... A bit surreal in a very good way. Reminds me a bit of one of my favorites, esp. re' the art, Moon Man. Similar theme to Ferry's 'Scarecrow' but much better: more moving and plausible and subtle in its depths.Lucas produces his most meditative work to date in a tale that reads like a mechanical improvement on Oscar Wilde’s “The Happy Prince.” When a robot’s heart breaks unexpectedly he is sent to the scrap heap to wait out his days, until one cold night a bluebird lands on him. She can go no further on her journey south and takes up residence in the robot’s empty chest. The robot offers her a permanent home there, and when she explains that she must travel south he offers to take her. The trip proves too much for the old robot, however, and when they finally make it, his last words to her are, “Make your home in my heart,” which she does, along with her fellow birds. A quiet beauty permeates this old-fashioned story. The illustrations convey the robot’s simple dignity, color, perspective and sequencing neatly choreographing the tale’s emotional trajectory. (Picture book. 4-8) We have included five different resources for this activity so you can choose which best suits your KS1 class. This two week guided reading plan focuses on The Robot and the Bluebird by David Lucas. This plan follows a whole class guided reading approach meaning that all children are required to do the same activity on each day. The activities are differentiated. Your KS1 class will read the simple or complex sentences and decide where the capital letters and full stops will go. The Tale of the Bluebird Trail by the Virginia Bluebird Society.

It's such a great book that I wanted to feature it in my year 2 class, as it also ties in perfectly to our Topic of inventions (a lot of the children thought of robots when they thought about inventions). I think this story will provide rich content for our literacy lessons, and it's a great one to delve into what's on the inside, and not just what's on the outside. It took a second or third reading of this to truly get to me, but once I fell in love with this title I fell hard. A very simple, very lovely tale. Lucas is one of those guys with pictures too subtlely beautiful to ever garner the attention he deserves. This touching and uplifting story of friendship has large, bright and evocative illustrations and is ideal for sharing or classroom use. Where’s the Robot?. Ross Mead April 3 rd , 2008.

He proclaims that he never really draws images from real life instead he feels he utilizes his imagination for every illustration, forming patterns and shapes as a part of his work.

In Maths our learning will be based around the areas of Shape, Place Value and Addition & Subtraction: including recognising numbers up to 20. This story is absolutely stunning. It's about hope gained after heartbreak, purpose, companionship, sacrifice, and love. It's probably about so much more but discover those meanings for yourself. This book is kind of gloomy but happy and deep. The robot doesn't have a heart but gives a shelter to a bluebird. The robot at the beginning just sat there heartless but once bluebird came into his heart, robot felt much better and loved. When the bluebird has to leave, the robot offers to take t...

Very sweet, and I think, sad story. Broken-hearted Robot finds a new sense of purpose when he finds Bluebird in need. This one should be discussed, not just read: Why did Robot do what he did? Did he "die" happy? (Did he die at all?) Why do people need a sense of purpose? Is it more important to make ourselves happy or help others? Robot and Robot Classification.
