Making paper

As part of our inquiry into books, we wanted to make our own paper. We had a lot of old used paper that we thought we could recycle. We weren't sure which kinds of paper would make the best recycled paper, so we set up a few different trials to find out.
First we ripped up the paper into tiny pieces and added it to a bucket of water. We will leave the paper for a few days to separate.
Watch this space to see what we do next, and see our finished paper...
