We made paper for Science Week 2024

Over two hundred pieces of decorative handmade paper were created during Science Week 2024.

The students used shredded waste paper soaked in water and blended in a food processor.  Using picture frames covered in a mesh fabric, they dipped, drained and pressed their pulp to make their very own piece of paper.  To make them unique, they added seeds (to maybe plant), flower petals and a bit of glitter!  We wonder what will be created with their paper now?

We had a bit of fun with our water flowers too!  See the video below for the effect.
