Recycling paperComenius

The students of the 5th grade made recycled paper using old newspapers and scrap paper

First they tore the paper into very small bits

The paper was then placed in a plastic bin with a little water and the mixture was left to soak for about 24 hours

The next day they put the mixture in a blender to make it into a mash

The mixture was then placed on a wire mesh.

The mixture is carefully rolled out to become as flat as possible

The mixture can be coloured using water colours

The paper must be left to dry for a few days

The paper was used to make their Christmas cards
