P4: Hands-on Workshop Arts & Crafts Making origami (12/2019)

  •  In Comprehensive Institute 2 Giovanni Pascoli, January it was also time to… ORIGAMI!

    There are many educational objectives, for example in geometry it is very useful because pupils become familiar with many words of this discipline (side, diagonal, midpoint, right angle…) and can be reflected by comparing the characteristics of the figures (symmetry, extension of the surface, angular measurements…).

    Great is the commitment but great is also the satisfaction of creating many different objects with your hands and a sheet of paper.

    Students of Ruskilan Koulu Nakkilan kunta, from Finland, also participated in this activity. The pupils liked the origami project overall, but they found it a bit difficult at first. Some of the pupils picked an origami which was too complicated for beginners so they switched to easier ones. This project required lots of concentration but most importantly they had fun.

    Pupils of Kelmes Aukuro Pagrindine Mokykla, from Lithuania, also made beautiful designs in origami. See below some pictures of the origami activities in primary classes in Lithuania.
