ROBOTS IN THE WILD!🤖🎋 This week our lovely Arts and Crafts Club were inspired by Peter Brown's book, The Wild Robot. Our talented young (and adult!) creators put their imaginations to work building their very own robot companions using recycled cardboard and bits and bobs. We were blown away by their ingenuity! 🤩 What adventures do you think these robots will go on next? 📚
