Dear Mead Room families and friends,
Our paper making is coming along
nicely. The Mead Room children spent a
few more days snipping, cutting, ripping and tearing old paper and then……. we
added the water.
Zahli – to make it soggy
Harry – it will be like mushy mud
We have a wealth of prior knowledge
regarding paper and shared what we knew in our Morning Meeting:
What
types of things are made of paper?
Harry – cardboard boxes
Tom – books
Cody – letters
Teddy – magazines
Max – wrapping paper
Millie – cards
Lucius – tissues
What
can you do with paper?
Owen – draw on it
Isla
B – cut it
Leonardo – paint on it
Isla
D-G – make a list
Christian
V – cut and trace
We have been researching paper and where
it comes from in our information books and discovered that……..
Houyi – it comes from trees
Zara – its made of wood
So we will leave our big container of
recycled paper and water to steep for a little while. Once it is mushy and
squishy we will commence the paper making festival!
Take care of each other,
Melissa and Georgia
