As part of our topic this term, the children have been looking at boats. In Art, they have followed instructions in order to make origami boats. We talked about using wax crayons to make this waterproof and then the children tested these out in the water tray. They enjoyed learning about where origami comes from and its history.
Later, the children watched origami videos in order to make other things and it was lovely to hear the children taking this skill home and making other things!
