Challenge Week: Origami

February 23, 2015
During Learning Challenge week, Mrs Standen and Mrs Batty shared their love of Origami. Orignally from China and Japan, Origami is the ancient art of paper folding. Once taught in Japanese schools, it is still a popular pastime today. Children from Year 1 to Year 6 followed instructions to produce some wonderful creations, from houses to dogs, butterflies to swans. It was definitely a challenge for all who took part but one that was met with enthusiasm from everyone.
