The oldest origami book in the world was published in 1797 and is called Hiden Senbazuru Orikata (How To Fold 1000 Paper Cranes.)
We tested out different designs of origami and together, with the other P6. class, we tried to make 1000 paper cranes... AND WE SUCCEEDED!!! Here are some examples of what we also
made: paper pagodas, paper frogs, star boxes and paper cranes.
ENTERPRISE
We made different types of Origami for the school winter fair. To help sell the products we dressed up in Kimonos and Happy jackets which we got from the Japanese Embassy in London. In the
star boxes we put chewy santa sweets. We also sold Hokusai block
prints of the Great Wave and fans that we decorated with ink. The things that
we put on the fans were all associated with Japan like Mount Fuji and
cherry blossom. The money that we raised is helping to build a new playground for the school.

We LOVED making all kinds of origami because our origami animations were amazing and we used them at home to make envelopes.
i liked making origami
the enterprise was so cool we sold so much of our own art and made alot of money
The origami animations were very
COOOOOOL to watch and i would like to learn some other things other than a ball,a cup and a frog.
I can't believe how SMALL origami can get!!
