Let’s recycle and make paper!

Earlier during curiosity week  the Squirrels used lots of ‘paper’ to explore this theme. Having learnt about where paper comes from and about the importance of thinking about sustainability for our future, we decided to use the scraps from the recycling bin to make our own paper. We had to first the shred, soak, and then blend the paper to turn it into pulp. After that we had to reshape the pulp into a frame and extract the water.

Here are some photos of the children in action.
