Remembrance Day-paper making and our poetry display

On Wednesday 11th We had a paper making workshop making recycled paper and decorating it with poppies to mark Remembrance Day.
We learned about how to break the fibres of the paper down and what the equipment was called.

We were shown what to do and how to use the equipment correctly.

Now it was our turn to make our own paper.

Scooping the pulp onto our screens, waiting 30seconds for excess water to drain away...

Getting our newspaper and cloth ready...

working in pairs but each making our own paper

sponging the excess water away

starting to decorate using paper serviettes

some of our finished paper

when fully dry the paper will come easily off the cloth and we will make it into something

Remembrance Poetry

We wrote various poems based on Remembrance and made a super display together with our poppy wreaths from last week.

come into class 3 and read our poems- we will be proud to share them with you

Poems: war, peace, remembering, remembrance, poppies and more.

A super display.
