Paper Mache 

If you’ll recall, two weeks ago, Rainey A and Rainey B shared the beginning of  a paper mache exploration. We spent time constructing different structures out of cardboard and tape, and both groups ended up creating houses of sorts. Today we began step two  of the building process, adding paper mache to our creations.

Before we got started, Lucia shared some of her previous paper maché work with everyone as an example.

​To make our paper mache, we used a 1- part flour to 2- parts water mixture. For many it was a new texture:


Lochie: It feels salty, no smooth
Elle: Like salty smooth?
Lochie: Yeah and very wet
Jack: Soooo gooeeeyy
CC: And sticky, it’s hard on the bottom

After we made our mixture, we started paper macheing! Luckily for us, Lucia had brought in some examples of past paper maches so we knew what to expect.  Several children, including Lochie made the observation that "it's like newspaper on the inside".

CC: I need to flatten it on 
Violet: Im going to go to this side
Lochie: I’m glued!
CC: You’re attached to me!
George: I throwed it on.

CC exclaimed that "I wanna see how Rainey Room B is doing " so as the projects progressed, we took time to check in on each other’s work.

Rainey Room B displayed ample enthusiasm and persistence with the messy, gooey paper mâché mixture! So much so that it was agreed upon, by them, to work on our structure again. We will get back to it on Thursday.

Many hands make light work!
