Museu do Papel
On the same day, we visited the The Paper Mill, 
where we could see how paper used to be made.
It is a beautiful place, renovated with care.
We wished we could have stayed there longer.

The water that makes the mill go round

The materials used - cloth made from natural fibers

The drying room was followed by the packing and paper bag making areas.

We will need to go back to see how paper is made today!

Curls

We were painting today. The paper curled and I took the opportunity to show how we could flatten it again.
Someone asked what 'curl' meant.
I explained, giving several examples, one of which was:
João has curly hair.
Dhruv asks, "Did you go to the hairdresser to make the curls forever?"

I want to be...

Suhani was helping another child with some maths and I asked if she wanted to be a teacher. She answers, "No, I want to be a hairdresser."

João makes the comment: "I want to be a teacher."
I asked João why he wanted to be a teacher and his answer was:
"I like to learn." (that is the best answer and I do agree, we learn all the time)
Zé Pedro, "I want to work at McDonald's
Grace said, "I want to be a doctor."
Maria said, "I want to be a teacher too."

Lourenço without being asked said, "I want to be a boy."

A challenge

Maria saw a sample for a possible craft activity
"I don't know what it is, but I want to make one."

A couple of weekends
