The Children's Museum

Today we went to the Children's Museum.  We went there to learn about paper.  

Amanda was our teacher.

We learned that paper comes from trees.  First we need to cut down a tree.  Then we take the tree to the paper mill.  We chop the tree into tiny pieces of saw dust.  We mix the saw dust with water and glue.  We flatten it and let it dry.  Then it's ready for writing, drawing and making crafts.

We got to make our own paper!!!

First we had to rip the paper.

Then we flattened it out on the screen.

We used a sponge to get all the water out.

We decorated the paper with flower petals and let it dry.

After making our paper, we got to PLAY!!!!!

 Our favourite part of the museum was:

We had such a great time that some of us fell asleep on the ride back to school!

That was fun! :)
