origami

As part of the Literacy unit on 'instructions' the y3 children have been creating origami pieces. These are my 'here's one I made earlier' and are all made from a very similar set of folds - in fact the tiger and polar bear are identical right up to the colouring in stage. 

 

All of them were made from a square piece of copy paper. The 'Pudsey' (Bottom pic - right) is in anticipation of 'Children in Need' on Friday.

In enterprise club we've stoppped making bookmarks for the moment and have gone on to fridge magnets. Here are some I knocked up quickly - each from a couple of thin ply shapes, some patterned paper and paint. They haven't had the magnets stuck on yet. They're about 7cm long.
