The Book vs The Movie

This one's for you Hannah!

Christmas Tree Challenge

Our final get together of the year included our usual book chat and then a completely non-book activity - constructing a Christmas tree from a limited set of materials.

Also three Wrappers completed the 27 Challenge and received their certificate and Paper Plus gift card.  Congratulations to Melanie, Hannah and Ashleigh.

Book Share - books recommended by the Wrappers from their recent reading.

 Vampyre   by Margaret Wild  (sophisticated picture book)

Christmas Tree Challenge

Using an assortment of materials (coloured card, tinsel, ribbon, sellotape) the challenge was to construct a Christmas tree that was free standing, as tall as possible, a traditional Christmas tree shape and decorated. The photos below show the progress and results.  Two teams (the 'oldies' and the 'youngies') took part. The final verdict based on the judging criteria was a tie - and that was honest judging not 'you're just being diplomatic' as someone suggested!

Everyone Needs a Book

I'll find you a good book, just a moment while I make the selection ...

More Booksies

Thanks Hannah! (photographer).

Booksies

First there were selfies, now there are booksies. Sometimes we do judge a book by its cover, especially when deciding if they are any good for creating booksies.
