There was plenty of fun and mayhem at the Johnsonville BookBuster Graduation last week. We played some great games, from a special Christmas Bingo, to pin the nose on Rudolph the Reindeer, and let’s not forget the ever popular chocolate game.

We welcomed two new BookBusters, Beatrice and Hemank and we also congratulated Hayden for receiving his 6 month certificate.

As it was the last meeting for the year we had to say goodbye to three graduating BookBusters, Oscar, Avril and Sian. It’s been fun having you and we hope to see you all at BookSeekers next year.

We finished off with some yummy food, prizes and a big -

“Merry Christmas”.

Have a great holiday everyone and we look forward to seeing you all next year.

Hey, are you ready for Christmas? It’s not long to go before the Jolly Red Man comes so maybe you would like to start thinking about making some of your own decorations or gifts this year.

Check out our  Christmas craft books and have a go at making your own advent calendar, mosaic snowflakes or  stencilled wrapping paper. There are also some cool ideas for gifts that you could create.

Don’t forget to check out the KidsCat as well for other awesome ideas, but get going – Christmas is nearly here.

(from the children’s section on a child’s card). See the titles of these CDs: Disney’s Princess Christmas album, Jingle, jangle, jingle, Santa’s rockin’!, Don’t want no bones for Christmas, and  Christmas with the kids. There are so many cool Christmas songs to sing and rock too!! What’s your favourite Christmas song?
