Young Hands Fold for Peace

Hi everyone,

With less than 9 weeks before the Japan Study Tour takes flight, we are embarking on the massive task of folding Senbazuru – one thousand origami cranes. These will be taken to Japan by our wonderful Year 5 and 6 students and offered as a mark of respect at the Peace Memorial in Hiroshima.

This is a beautiful and meaningful tradition that symbolises hope and a wish for peace. It’s inspired by the story of Sadako Sasaki, a young girl affected by the atomic bombing, whose legacy continues to inspire peace efforts around the world.

We’d love for as many students as possible to contribute to this special project. Even a single crane makes a difference!

The details

Who: Year 3-6 students

What: Origami Club

When: First break on Tuesdays (come along after you’ve eaten your lunch), beginning week 2

Thanks for your support,

Jessica Faithfull | 3C Classroom Teacher.
