Recycled Paper

Hello bloggers. 2 or 1 terms ago my school decided to have a gala day which is in the 25th of November. The class I am in is Manukau making Recycled Paper, Waitemata is making Soap and Hauraki are making Tote Bags. Also the other classes are making stuff that I don't know, there will be food, stalls, games and more. There will also be a Tongan, Samoan, Kapahaka, Bollywood, Chinese and European cultural performances. Now I am going to show you how to make recycled paper, first you have to rip normal paper into small pieces and put it into a bucket. Then you have to fill the bucket with hot water and pour it into a large container and mash all the bits of paper using a egg beater. After that you get a paper cloth and get all the mashed paper using the paper cloth and you dry the paper. When the paper is dry enough you can peel the paper out of the cloth and when you make lots of recycled paper you can use them to make Christmas cards, birthday cards and many other cards. If you want to make a card you have to cut the recycled paper using scissors and you have to cut them to the picture you want them to look like. For example a Christmas tree and you cut a normal piece of paper to a rectangular shape and glue them in the card so you can write in it.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        W
hat was good was that I got to make paper because it was really fun                    What was bad was that we were running out of recycled paper so couldn't              make the cards

NZ Journey

Hello bloggers. 2 weeks ago my teacher gave me and my classroom a task called the NZ Journey. At the start I didn't know what it was about but when I figured it out it was about a fake trip around NZ using google slides. First you got to estimate how you think your trip would cost and I estimated 5 million dollars because I think it would be expensive. I finished the work 2 or 1 weeks after I was given the task, so we had to go down to Dunedin and go all the way to Cape Reinga. The hardest part was looking at the bookings of the flight. The easiest part was adding the total travelling cost because I used the calculator.
