Making an Origami Boat

Rachel's topic for the last half term
of year 1 is "Castaway" with a focus on islands and boats.  So today she wanted to make a boat.  

Mike came to the rescue by remembering how to make an origami one.  He taught her how how to turn a simple piece of paper:

Into a hat:

And finally into a boat:

In fact he taught her so well that here she is with her video instructions:


We now have an Armada of boats to take to school on Monday.
