Books: Robomum

'ROBOMUM' by Emily Smith

This is a nice short story by Emily Smith for younger KS2 children.
James' mum is a brilliant scientist, but James wishes she was better at the ordinary things in life. He'd really like to have a clean PE kit and interesting things for tea, but his mum has other things on her mind. Then suddenly, Mum has a brilliant idea. Surely a robotic mother - a Robomum - is just what they both need?

We did lots of work writing our own stories about what it would be like having a 'Roboteacher' after reading this book. You can see an example text on the main site.
