CROSS COUNTRY

The whole school had to go on the field for the cross country running race. Millie came 1st, Elise came 2nd and Jane came 3rd in the year 3 girls race. The cross country went up to the year 6s. We needed our drink bottles because it was hot. We sat on the bank and cheered for our runners. Everyone tried really hard. It was worth all the practice we did with Mrs Baillie.

PAPER MAKING

We had fun making our own paper. To make the paper we recycled used paper by chopping it up in a blender.

To make our paper interesting we put in some coloured paper and

some glitter. Then we used a mold and a deckle. We poured our paper pulp from the blender into the deckle while holding it in a trough of water. And, WOW ! we lifted a piece of stunning paper from the trough and upended it on a cloth to sponge and dry. Some of us are making Christmas cards from our paper. We each made 2 pieces of paper.
