Paper making

Our school has had an ongoing problem with too much paper in our yellow bins before the recycle collection time. It would overflow. Mrs Vester would become anxious, and so, could something be done?
After viewing a Mystery Doug science clip about how paper was made from wood pulp, Te Whare Ruru Home Class got busy with a paper re-making kit and had a go. We learnt about pulping the paper process and using a deckle to settle the paper "soup"We worked collaboratively in teams and by the end of the day had made 10 sheets of paper. and form a new sheet. These just need to dry now.
