Children return to school Mon 8th April

Around the world there are many peace symbols. In year 6, we have been learning about an iconic Japanese girl called Sadako Sasaki. Surviving the Hiroshima bomb at the age of 2, this young lady grew up to be a symbol of resilience and peace. Her craftsmanship, whilst she was ill, lead her to create almost 1,000 origami cranes which are now displayed in museums all over the world. The crane has been used to symbolise respect for Japanese citizens killed by the 9/11 attack in America. With remnants of the building being used to a large metal origami crane – this was given to Japan as a symbol of respect of remembrance.We have been learning all about her Sasaki’s story and have tried to follow in her footsteps!

There is an ancient legend in Japan, “Senbazuru”, which says that anyone who makes 1,000 cranes of paper will be granted a wish? It is for this reason that we are asking you to follow the video below and create a crane that will contribute to our Art Installation! Parents and children alike are invited to add a wish to their crane.

Please bring any cranes that you would like to contribute up to Year 6, by Friday 12th November 2021
