Gala Day

Hey guys! How are you? I'm Phantasmagorical whilst writing this. Anyway, next week the 25th Nov we will be having a Gala day at Waikowhai Primary School. There will be stalls, a bake sale and a sausage sizzle. My class (Manukau) will be selling 100% recycled paper in the form of cards, packs of recycled paper and christmas tags. The reason we decided to sell recycled paper is so that not as many trees need to be cut down and also it's more sustainable. As a school we've cut down on how much paper we use. Here are the steps to recycling paper...

1. Tear up some paper into little squares about 2x2cm. 
   
2. Put those squares into a bucket and add in hot water.
   
3. Mix with a potato masher or egg beater. Don't use a blender because the paper destroys the blades of the blender.
   
4. Mix the paper until it looks like mush like this. (It will be different colours depending on what coloured paper you used.)                                       ⇩
   
5. Pour your paper mush into a large container and add another bucket of water (hot or cold.)
   
6. Get two old picture frames that fit together and some net with very small holes in it. Put the net in between the two picture frames.
   
7. Dip it into the water with the paper in it and scoop some paper up. Let the water drain and take off the top picture frame.
   
8. Flip the net off the other picture frame onto a surface to dry.
9. Slowly rub the net on the paper then slowly peel it off. Leave it to dry.
   
10. Enjoy your finished masterpiece!
