We made ... paper

The Preps have been creating paper in the Maths/Science room during Learning Agreement. This process is teaching the children how to reuse and recycle paper from the neighbourhood. We are looking forward to seeing how the paper turns out.

Steps in the paper making process:

1. Cut/tear up paper in to small pieces.

 

 

2. Make the paper porridge.

3. Put the paper maker pieces together in the right order, squeeze tight and dip into the porridge.

4. Drain off water and take off frame.

5. Place the board on top and press down on mesh to flatten and remove excess water.

6. Leave to dry out.
