ORIGAMI
Origami is a Japanese word which means ’Paper folding’. It is a craft that all ages enjoy doing . By this technique one can create objects and shapes on paper by folding without using scissors or glue.
This is taught in schools from lower classes because young children can learn about basic concepts in Mathematics like lines, planes, shapes ,and their relationships.
During GANIT week celebration, the origami competition was held on the 22nd of December 2014 , for class VI. The event turned out to be a massive success. There were many entries from children and each origami done by them had significant meaning.
