My Face Mask

 

Why wearing a mask is important

Wearing a mask is important because one it stops germs from going more than 6 cm from you but if you accidentally swap masks with someone then it could end in disaster. In saying that it is still a good idea to wear one because it slows the spread of covid 19. Wearing a mask is good for lots of things but if it is made of cotton it will need to to be washed daily so you will need to have a few masks. I think that cotton masks are better because if you have single use masks you have to have lots and lots but if you have a cotton one then you only need 2 or 3 plus you can make them at home! 

My Face Mask

I made a face mask out of a paper towel that was fun!

On Monday the 25th of May, 2020 I made a Paper Towel mask. A mask is something people wear to protect themselves from diseases like COVID - 19. Mrs. Kumar, our teacher, showed us how to make one and we made one ourselves.

You can make a paper mask if you have these things: a stapler, 2 rubber bands, and a paper towel. To make it you need to fold the paper towel like a fan then once you have finished that then you fold the ends of the paper towel over a little then you put one of the rubber bands under the fold and staple it closed. Do that to the other side and open up your mask.

I wore it and it was way too tight because the paper towel and the rubber bands were too small. I was amazed at how I had made a face mask out of just a piece of paper towel. It was amazing!

I took a picture of me wearing the mask. Before we made the mask I was wondering how we would make just a small paper towel into a mask and when we made it felt so obvious. I felt proud and happy about making my own face mask.
