Saya was a life—like woman robot. She started her work as a teacher at a primary school in Tokyo, Japan days ago. She gave lessons to the students there. You won't hurt it if you touch(触摸)it, hit or play with it.

The scientist who built Saya said, "We didn't want Saya to do all the work of a teacher, but to build this robot to teach children about technology(技术). And Saya may be a help to the schools which have not enough teachers."

"In some villages and small schools, there are children who know little about new technology. There are also some teachers who can't teach these lessons. So we hope the robot can make the children become interested in new technology." said the scientist.

Many of the children were very excited when Saya came to school. They liked to listen to her report. When class was over, some students touched her face and felt her.

The scientists in Japan hope that they can make some robots to look after the older people in the future.

You Can Make a Windsock(风筒)

Have you ever seen a windsock blowing in the wind? Well, you can make one of your own! This is a fun project that you can do with things you may have. You just need to follow a few easy steps.

You will need:

● one piece of heavy colored paper ● five ribbons

● strong tape ● a string

● a pencil

What to do:

Step 1: Draw pictures on the paper. You can write your name on it. Do anything that will make it special to you.

Step 2: Make the paper into the shape of a tube. Hold one of the shorter edges(边缘) over the other. Then make them together with the tape at each end and in the middle.

Step 3: Use a pencil to make a hole into both sides of the tube. The holes should be only on one end of the tube. Pull the string through both holes. Then tie the ends of the string together.

Step 4: Now make five holes around the top of the other end of the tube. Put a ribbon through each of the holes. Tie a knot in the ends. Make sure the knots are bigger than the holes.

Now your windsock is ready to use, but how does it work? The shape of the tube plays an important part. Wind blows through the tube and makes it fly and dance around. Hold the windsock up in the air by its string and run around. It will fly behind you. You can also hang it outside and watch it dance around on its own!
