Origami Cranes

Today for Art, and as part of our change makers unit, we did something a little bit different. A couple of students had mentioned they really wanted to do some origami. We have a couple of origami 'experts' in the class so today Leo (with the help of James) taught the class how to make an origami Crane. 

We also read about the Crane and learnt that traditionally, it was believed that if one folded 1000 origami cranes, one's wish would come true. It has also become a symbol of hope and healing during challenging times. As a result, it has become popular to fold 1000 cranes (in Japanese, called “senbazuru”). We didn't quite make 1000, but it was a good first attempt!
