Our first meeting!

Our today's story - "The Talking Tree" from "The Talking Tree and Other Stories"

Today we had our very first meeting of Bookworms Club, so let us take this chance to introduce ourselves. We are six kids, who live in Karachi, Pakistan. We meet for this club at Umm Uzair's home, who reads for us stories and shows us some fun crafts. At the moment, our Bookworms Club has the following members: 1) Isa (8 yrs), 2) Vajih-ul-Islam (8 yrs), 3) Uzairuddin (7 yrs), 4) Muadh (6 yrs), 5) Hafsa (5 yrs), 6) Hibatullah (4 yrs).

We started out today by making some origami figures: a talking dog, a ladybug and a pelican. The pelican was the most difficult one and for it we used special, real origami paper from Japan! Take a look at the things we made (click on photos to enlarge them):
