Origami Proves Popular In Room 6!
By Beth Downie | Posted: Monday June 4, 2018
Room 6 is a hive of activity, with origami everywhere! The obvious favourite.. The paper balloon. Including paper cranes, paper dresses and lots more, the origami wall is a masterpiece of paper and tape! Now that the wall of origami has been completed it might influence the library too. With an origami wall going up in a few weeks, you can be sure to see origami all around school!
The Japanese started origami in the 6th century when the Buddhist monks carried paper over from Asia. The word origami comes from the smaller words, ori meaning to fold and kami, meaning paper. Origami has and always will be apart of Japanese culture.

Origami has been a really big part of Room 6. It is something that most of the class have been doing before school and on cold lunchtimes. We are really proud of what we’ve done and we would be happy for you to come in and take a look.
