What you’ll build

Become the village reporter. You'll plan three short pages, craft a book and quill and write your newspaper or guidebook inside. Read it back, fix any mistakes, sign it with a title and display it on a lectern before reading it aloud.

Finish line: Your signed book has at least three pages and sits on a lectern for visitors to read.

Bonus challenge: Write volume 2 next week with new village news, or a guidebook to your favourite builds.

You’ll need

  • Book and quill
  • Lectern

You choose

  • Newspaper or guidebook
  • My book's title
  • Page 1, 2 and 3 topics

Stuck?

  • Check spelling before you sign it. Signing locks the book and it can't be changed.
  • Pages fill up fast. Keep to a heading and two or three short sentences each.
  • Hold the signed book and tap the lectern to place it.
