New bound notebooks
We’ve updated our old notebooks. We bound these ourselves and the paper quality is a lot better. Binding them by hand ensures that we are more in control of their quality. The inside pages are Cyclus Offset paper, which is made from 100% recycled fibre and is 100% environmentally friendly.

Firstly we headed off to the hospice nearby in search of an old atlas, instead we found this really cool Std 9 Geography text book that used to belong to Colin Arlow (Thanks Colin!) It is filled with wonderful maps and colourful information graphics.
We tore out the pages we liked most then cut them...
