Is that bottles you are wearing?

How can plastic bottles become clothing?


On this day when we recycle bottles it can somehow become clothing that you wear in everyday life. This step by step process is a complicated time consuming journey.

Firstly the workers shred the bottles because we may leave some liquid in the bottle without even realising. Once they are shredded they get wrapped in cellophane and sent over to China to continue the journey.
Once they are delivered to China the shredded parts with bright stickers have to get removed, to get rid of them they have to go in two different baths one after another. When they have finished the first bath they then need to go into the next bath which is dangerous for the human skin. When they have had their baths they need to dry out so they put it in an oven.

Once the bottles have dried out, the workers put the bottles into a rotation screw that can heat up to 270 celsius. When it has been through the rotation screw it has created thread but that thread isn’t yet strong enough to create cloth. So they have to stretch the thread and as they are stretching the thread it needs to be heated. Next the workers have to rip it all apart again, then it gets baled up and sent to another factory in China to make polyester which means that there job is done for now.

When they arrive to the other factory the workers have to scrap the thread to create very rough cloth. Then the rough cloth gets carded, carding is when the bonded fiber faces in a similar direction which will strengthen the material that it has created.

Once they have the material the workers use a machine that creates tiny loops into the material to give it a nice feel. Then after that for some strange reason they use steel brushes to get rid of the tiny loops that they just created so that it would be a softer feel to the product. Then they get the cloth and send it to a designer factory to finish off the product.  


When the designers have received the cloth they immediately get to work and design the product. When they have completed designing the product it gets sent all around the world.

When the product is complete they have to do that process all over again.  That has been the step by step process that the workers have been through. So the clothes you wear to this day started out as bottles and was transformed into clothes.

W.A.L.T use a perspective that is appropriate for the reader
W.A.L.T use emotive language,alliteration and similies


Starter:Write a story about a depressed wildebeest who discovers a talking frog


The abandoned Lumber Mill


It was a cool frosty morning as Jack woke up from his rough,small,sharp bed.Jack stretchers his back and waits until he hears a click.Jack is a wild weird wildebeest that is droopy and depressed because he lives alone in the woods on a cliff.”What a cold morning it is but that doesn't stop me from going outside and getting vitamin D”.Jack walked outside and suddenly a chill went through his body.


Jack waits until it gets warmer like a hot summer day until he is ready to go outside to face Jack Frost but when he walked outside he disappeared.Jack carried on walking West until he reached his bungee jump.He hooks himself up and prepares to jump down the side of the cliff.Suddenly he jumps and along the way to his surprise he finds a stranded freaky fearless frog that is just sitting there.


So Jack waits until the cord isn't jumping up and down and he is just hanging there but he needs to act fast because he has set up a timer for the bungee cord to go up.Jack instantly thought fast and snatched up the frog on his way up.Jack says “hello there buddy why were you up here by yourself in the middle of nowhere”.”Houdini” the frog says “You you talk? Well we will discuss this later but first what is your name?” Houdini Houdini Houdini” “ so you are the magician Houdini?” “Houdini”They eventually make it up to the top and they head East to get back to his house.


Houdini isn’t scared of much he is strong like a dumb beetle.They had a horrible cup of tea while discussing in how he can talk but the fearless frog only says houdini.Jack thinks to himself maybe the magician Houdini taught him how to speak and must of performed a disappearing trick but couldn’t bring him back but clumsy Jack accidentally said that out loud so the frog disappeared into the misty woods...


Jack is hunting him down looking for footprints running in all directions until he hears an owl and suddenly someone said dini from out of nowhere.They kept on speaking so jack followed the voice until it led to a dead end.Jack carried on his search without realising that he is lost.To Jack’s astonshiment he found a an abondend lumber mill..Jack has a suspicion that he might of enterd in the lumber mill without realising it could collapase any minute.So Jack felt like he was going to be a hero that saves civilians but instead he saves animals.


He enters the lumber mill and he knows everything could go wrong in here,he just imagines the fearless frog jumping over saws,crawling through gaps and climbing over the dangerous contraptions.Jack knows the risk but it is all worth it to save Houdini.He ventures throughout the abandoned lumber mill confident and courageous.He unexpectedly found the control room. He decides to press some buttons that could be a disaster,some were blue,red and green but they all had sawdust on them so it was hard to recognize which colour was which.


There were loud noises for all the buttons except for one which was the light switch but as you might of expected it didn’t work.He left the control room still not know what all those buttons did.Jack searched throughout the lumber mill being very cautious like flies around a venus fly trap.He decided to leave this deathtrap and try to return to his home…
