Folding Paper Cranes

Our school is taking part in the project 'Rice that Binds, Cranes @ North West'.
For every 10 cranes folded, Tong Seng Produce Pte Ltd will donate 1 kg of rice to the needy.
The target for us is 30 cranes per pupil.

Please do not start folding so many cranes now as we have to fold the cranes using special paper provided by the company.

Today, we learnt how to fold a paper crane in class. Click on How to fold a paper crane for instructions on holding a paper crane... or you can watch the video below.
