Sadako Sasaki was a girl who got sick due to the nuclear bomb explosion in Hiroshima, Japan. Her friend told her that if she made 1000 cranes she could make a wish.
Sadly she died at the age of twelve but managed to make 644.
Today in class we each made a row of how many cranes we could make. Everyone managed to make at least 5. There were definitely some experts!
Children found it fun but also challenging. The children helped each other to make the cranes. It was excellent teamwork.
Mrs Hutcheson had to make many square sized pieces of paper!
This origami project is part of our study about Japan.
For each crane that was made, the children were encouraged to think about Sadako. In the end the class made over 300 cranes.

You are very clever room 4! I tried to make one following your instructions but found it really hard - Jacob had to teach me! Well done everyone! Love from Mrs Symonds
