Dear Diary,

I have had a beautiful day. I am feeling a lot of emotions right now.

Brightbill was flabbergasted, wide eyed and eager to explore so I took him down to the soft sandy beach to see the vast, blue ocean. Seconds later, Brightbill was lifted into the air then toppled into the shallow waters! He waddled out of the shallow waters and repeated jumping onto the rock and being lifted into the air.

Finally, Brightbill was floating. Two minutes later, Brightbill flew back down and landed on his feet he was feeling exhausted! Finally, after an eventful day, we travelled back to our cosy nest and fell fast asleep.

Dear Diary ,

What a busy day today was! Brightbill has been becoming more and more curious these days about what is laid around our magnificent island. I feel all kinds of emotions today. We set out in the morning and I decided to take Bright bill to the vast ocean. When we arrived a sturdy breeze took place and lifted Brightbill off the hard floor and into the air above us! Brightbill thought he was flying but I just laughed! I explained to Brightbill that it certainly wasn’t flying. I have observed many birds in flight, sometimes they flap their wings and other times soar by spreading their wings! Brightbill practiced and revised his methods until he could soar. After Brightbill soared perfectly he started flying for some time. He was so exhausted that while we were walking to our colossal nest Brightbill fell asleep. This is why I feel all kinds of emotions today.

Dear Diary,

What a day I don’t even know how many emotions I’m feeling I thought robot’s did not feel emotions but I do.

Brightbill really wants to know what is near are home so I thought it will be good to take him to the huge ocean to see more water than he could ever imagine.

Suddenly Brightbill was standing on a huge rock then the wind lifted Brightbill up in the sky.

Brightbill thought he was flying! I laughed and said that is not flying Brightbill.

So he tried again and I stayed there all day watching him.

At last Brightbill soared high in the sky. It was suddenly night time. Brightbill wanted to stay and do more flying but he was to tired we decided to go home and go to sleep.

Dear Diary,

What a day! I`m filled with mixed emotions about how I should feel. I thought robots didn’t even have emotions! I noticed Brightbill was getting more and more curious

about what lay beyond our humble home so I decided it was time for him to explore. We set out early across the colossal meadow and finally reached our destination. We gazed at the ocean and then suddenly the ocean floor rose up and shot Brightbill straight up into the air and he tumbled right back over into the sand.  Brightbill thought he was flying but I assured him that he wasn`t. Bright bill tried again and again I told him to adjust his wings and he did exactly that! Afterwards, he experienced being able to fly for the first time but his landings needed some work. It exhausted both of us but I still reached the nest with Brightbill on my shoulder. We fell asleep under the night sky with all of the shiny, sparkling and small stars gleaming down on both of us.

For our final piece of writing this term we have been writing our own book review's for the Wild Robot. We have been working on our summarising skills and how to share our opinion in a way that doesn't spoil the plot. We hope our reviews will persuade you to read the book!

The Wild Robot

By Peter Brown

This is an awesome and uplifting story. It begins with a crate that falls off of a drifting cargo ship and shatters on the soggy sand of a never ending island. Inside was an abandoned Robot called Rozzum unit 7134. Some cheeky otters accidently activated her and she began her adventures! My favourite part of the book is when the animals fight against evil RECO’s because one of them fell off a waterfall and died! This book made me feel frustrated and surprised all at the same time.

THE WILD ROBOT
By Peter Brown

This extraordinary book will lead you to a magical story with a magical adventurous world. 
Our story begins with an unusual mysterious crate washed up on the shore. This is no ordinary crate. Inside, we are introduced to our main character Rozzum unit 7134! Roz sets off on an adventure and meets lots of friends along the way. 

I think this book is amazing because it has magical adventures and Roz finally makes friends and learns to be wild. My favourite part is when Roz adopts Brightbill the gosling and he becomes her son.

Lexi (3SS) 

The Wild Robot

This magical amazing book aimed at middle-grade children will guide you on a fantastic journey .

This story is about a shiny scary robot who came

from a mysterious boat. The unusual robot was in a dirty rusty crate washed up on a wet island. The robot is called Roz. She finds a gosling who’s family had died and adopts him and they begin an adventure!

I really like the book because it is very exciting when Robot made friends with all the animals of the island.

5 out of 5!
