Making Paper In Manukau

Hey blogging world, we started making paper a few weeks. We made recycled paper because of people throwing away paper and not using it again for another use that can be made out of paper. Our teacher told us to search how to make paper also find
as much information as possible. We were learning how to make as many things out of recycled paper. 
What you need:
Egg beater
Used paper
Containers 
Mech
Water
Wooden frame
Art t-shirt
Dry cloth

Here a the steps on making paper
1. Rip used paper into small bits
2. Put the paper into a container and poor hot water       into it and leave it over night
3. Mix the paper around with a egg beater until it           looks like porridge
4. Tip the porridge looking paper into another a             container 
5. Put the mech and wooden frame together and dip       it into the paper, make sure the paper is on it
6. Wait till the water leaks of the frame and then take     up the top so the paper will be laying down the the     dry cloth
7. Use another cloth to dry the top of the paper while     the other cloth is still down
8. Take of the cloth and then your all done! There is your paper :D 


When I was making the paper with my friend Sebastian, we made the best paper because when we lifted it up the frame it was thick. Making the recycled paper is part of sustainability because of that we are using paper that could be used again for another use so we aren't wasting paper that would have otherwise went into the rubbish bin.

My NZ Journey

Hey there blogging world, a couple of weeks ago we  were working on our NZ Journey. We had to choose witch activity's we wanted to do in each place we went to, we also had to work out how much petrol we will be using for us to get there and back. This took longer than I thought, In some parts I was a little bit bored but as I kept on making my way through the Journey it was getting kinda exiting. It was a good experience so if I wanted to go on that same trip I will know how much it will cost and how long. The thing that was hard was do check how much the whole thing cost because I was having trouble with totalling the price but luckily we have calculators, the thing that was easy choosing the activity's. Here is what I have done with my NZ Journey
