FLOWER
PRESSING
Our first group of gardeners went out to pick flowers. They
came back with a large bunch. They were then put into water so that they wouldn’t
die. In the afternoon Miss N explained to us that we would be looking at flower
pressing. No one knew what it was. We learnt that people flower press to create
art on cards or in frames and that flowers would have to be pressed. To do this
we put one flower or leaves into a page then turned it over. We did it until we
had no flowers left. The magazines were then put in a big pile and concrete
blocks put on top to weigh them down. We will now wait a while for the flowers
to be pressed. We are not sure what it will look like when they come out. When
they do we hope to use them to make cards and art.
Here are some photos of the flowers and what we did:
