How Paper is Recycled

   Paper is a thin material produced by pressing together moist fibers, typically cellulose pulp derived from wood, rags or grasses, and drying them into flexible sheets.
Paper is a versatile material with many uses. Whilst the most common is for writing and printing upon, it is also widely used as a packaging material, in many cleaning products, in a number of industrial and construction processes, and even as a food ingredient – particularly in Asian cultures.
Paper, and the pulp papermaking process, was said to be developed in China during the early 2nd century AD, possibly as early as the year 105 A.D.,[1] by the Han court eunuch Cai Lun, although the earliest archaeological fragments of paper derive from the 2nd century BC in China.[2]
   
      It is Christmas and my parents are looking for a gift. The gift is a paper recycling kit. She saw this gift in Amazon. When we opened it, I was happy because I love to make these things.

Faber Castell Visited Our School

      Last week, when we were in school, I saw some people fixing some things in the court. They were from Faber Castell. Our teacher said that we need to get one old pencil and they are going to exchange it with a new pencil. We did some activities. First, we watched some videos on how they make pencil, pen, eraser and many more. They also showed us the things we can do with the connector pens.

Connector pens can be connected -- just for fun.


      They taught us drawing techniques like pointillism, contouring, and patterning. They asked us to draw pictures using the techniques and they picked some drawings and they gave some prize.

       They told us to trace our hand and we are going to put some designs. After this they told us to trace our shoes and put again some designs. They call this as ''shoe fish''. In these drawings, we used the connector pens. In the first drawing, the trace of hands, I was chosen and I was given a pencil and a pen. In the shoe fish, I was chosen again and I was given again a pencil and a pen. I was happy. It was fun. I will show you my artwork.






       The connector pens are beautiful pens. The pencil was also beautiful because it is not easily broken. The pen was also beautiful because the ink was not easily finished. I always use the Faber Castell pen and pencil. My pen, pencil, and eraser are all Faber Castell. This type of brand is good.
