The robot invention

Runaway Robot Rampage – Complete story animated video from Ministry of Education on Vimeo.

Goal - poetic language to add description.


  • Retell a story in my own words.

Every weekend Hemi had to mow the lawns because his dad told him that's how he could earn pocket money because he was completely out. He looked in his brown leather wallet but there was just a few flies flew out. There was one problem with that though he absolutely hated mowing the lawns, he would way rather event a robot than mowing the long stinky lawns. That's when an idea popped into his head, he could try and create a robot that mows the lawns.


He looked through some cupboards, he found some kitchen knifes, an old computer, his dad's nose hair trimmer, laser pointer, scissors and guitar strings to tie it together. Hemi spent all night in the shed trying to make a robot lawn mower. He put it all together, then he flicked it on and said “ ALIVE!!”  but then hi robot CABOOM!! Hemi said “oh, no false alarm” Hemi didn't give up though he tried again he spent all night rebuilding his robot.


The next morning Hemi wheeled his invention out to the lawn, he had a white silky blanket over it Hemi got the remote control, he pushed the start mower then flicked the button on the back of the robot rand away the robot went doing its job. Hemi was relaxed on a beach chair with lemonade in his hand.


Hemi was so relaxed that he fell asleep in the chair. His robot didn’t just mow the lawns it went into town. Hemi woke up to the noise of people screaming.


Hemi ran as fast as a cheetah inside grabbed his jacket then he biked into town to see what was happening. He finally got into the big city he looked all over he saw the top of people’s hair off there heads, wrecked clothes on the washing lines, broken windows and more. He  had to fix this.


First Hemi had to find his robot. Luckily Hemi had the remote control in his pocket. He rode around the city trying to seek his robot. He looked in buildings, shops, all sorts of places. Finally he he saw his robot  he pulled his remote control out of his pocket, pushed the off button but the robot wasn’t turning of so pushed it again but it didn’t work. Hemi gave up in the end. But he didn’t let that stop him he had to fix this. First he had to catch the robot then he had to tell his dad what happened. He ran up to his robot jumped up and tried to turn the switch of at the back on the robot without getting cut by the robot.


The robot crashed down onto the road. Next he biked home to his dad and told him the story he got into some big trouble. Hemi‘ suddenly had an idea he said “ maybe you could do a lot of work like mowing the lawns, cleaning windows and mop the decks you might earn enough money to fix everything” Hemi liked that idea even though it would be hard work. It took Hemi 5 weeks to earn the money. The town was back to normal other than one thing people were still half bald but that became a fashion in Hemis town. Hemi came up with another great idea he could make a hair machine.
