Tron Theatre Visit - 1000 Paper Cranes

After we knew about the story of Sadako and Chizuko, our teacher Mr. M managed to get us to see a sneak peek of a theatre production called A Thousand Paper Cranes. It is about a girl called Sadako
and her best friend Chizuko.

Sadako is a keen athlete and is able to do every single race except for the 600 meters. So her best friend Chizuko decides to help train for the 600 meters but as Sadako is running in the race she
becomes very ill and goes in to hospital. In hospital she discovers she has leukemia, a cancer caused by the nuclear bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima. Someone tells her that if you make a thousand paper cranes you could have any wish you ever wanted.

We all really enjoyed the visit to the theatre. At the end we were shown how to make a flappy crane out of origami.
