Papermaking

Class Three Eco Club members, who are looking at ways of reducing the school's paper wastage, had a papermaking workshop run by Global Action Plan. We learnt how we need to shred the paper, then soak it and finally pulp it in a food processor before we can actually make a sheet of beautiful recycled paper using wire mesh.

Every pupil made their own piece of paper and really enjoyed themselves - Saskia said it was "the best day of my life"! Eco Club is getting its own paper making kit and the children hope to make recycled paper to sell.
