2 PB3 and Robin are learning about Earth.

They come from Planet P3. Planet P3 is very different from Earth. For example, on Planet P3 they only have four colours: black, white, green and grey. PB3 and Robin love the colours on Earth. They are talking about their favourite colours.

I like pink best!

2

Hmm… pink is nice, but I like orange best!

Oh, look at the sky! There’s a spaceship.

It’s the OOs’ spaceship! The OOs come from Planet XX00. They’re bad and they want to catch PB3 and Robin.

3 PB3 and Robin run into a school playground.

There’s a door. It’s open.

Quickly, Robin!

Let’s go in here!

4

PB3 and Robin find a cupboard and go to sleep.

The cupboard is in a classroom.

Good night, PB3.

Sleep well, Robin.

5

4 In the morning, they wake up. The classroom is full

of children! They are all wearing white shirts, white socks and black shoes. Some are wearing blue trousers and some are wearing blue skirts, but they can all talk very loudly!

What a noise!

6

How funny!

They’re all wearing the same colours!

Here’s the teacher. She’s giving the children a spelling test.

How do you spell … Earth?

I always make mistakes!

Oops? I don’t remember!

I’m not good at spelling.

5 PB3 and Robin want to give the children a little

help. PB3 knows the alphabet! PB3 is pushing a button on Robin’s control panel. A little door in Robin’s control panel opens, and letters come out!

8

I’m good at spelling now!

The children can see the letters, but the teacher can’t see them. The children are very happy.

9

6 It’s break time. The children open the cupboard

and find PB3 and Robin. They show them the classroom. There’s a bookcase with books, pencils, crayons, coloured pens, rubbers and rulers. There are three computers.

Hello!

My name’s Julia.

I’m PB3, and that’s my robot Robin.

10

What’s this for?

It’s for writing and drawing.

7 PB3 wants to play basketball in the playground!

Playing basketball is fun, and the children want to play too … but they can’t because the Year 6 children are always playing.

We can never play.

Year 6 don’t share.

We can help.

12

The children are in the playground. PB3 and Robin are behind a tree. PB3 is pushing a button on Robin’s control panel.

8 Robin has got very long arms. She is tickling

the Year 6 children. They are all laughing.

PB3 and the Year 3 children are laughing too.
