Origami with Grade 4

Over the span of the last four weeks, students of Grade 4 have been ‘origaming’ their way to success with this Japanese paper craft. Origami is a great way to enhance motor skills, introduce concepts of design thinking, build resilience, patience and foster commitment in younger students. Folding paper into different shapes to achieve an outcome takes a lot of steps and meticulous observation. The students made their own Pokemon characters, designed a boat, a flapping bird, a swan, and a vase. Way to go Grade 4!
