Today, the Belton Cinema was buzzing with excitement as EG families gathered for a special screening of The Wild Robot. This event was the grand finale of the Knights Book Club, which kicked off in September when families signed up to read Peter Brown's heartwarming tale of adventure and discovery.
This week at after-school celebrations students not only discussed their favorite moments from the book but also dove into hands-on activities that brought the story to life. From coding their own robot, drawing the beloved character Roz, to creating a collaborative poster that captured the book’s powerful themes—every moment was a burst of creativity and learning.
The energy was contagious, and the experience was unforgettable. Watching the story they read come alive on the big screen was the perfect ending to a journey that inspired curiosity, teamwork, and imagination. What a memorable way to celebrate reading and community!
