I made recycled paper ...

We collected all the paper from each classroom and the big kids helped us shred it.  We added lots of water and left it over the weekend.  We added more water and an adult wizzed it to make it look like porridge before we swept the frame through the pulp.


 
Tip the frame to get the water off


Use the sponge to push the water through the pulp

Put the plastic sheet on top of the pulp and turn it over.

Take the frame off.

Carefully peel off the fine mesh.
Push down with the sponge to get all the water out.
Put in the sun to dry.
Ta da ... Recycled paper.
