Peace Crane Project

PEACE CRANE PROJECT

Last term Art Extension and Art Club folded cranes for peace as part of the Armed with the Arts Peace Crane Project.

They invited every child in the world to fold an origami crane or dove, write and draw a message of peace on it, then share it with friends or someone far away through their Peace Crane Exchange.

Olivia and Emily folded their cranes before the dreadful events in Paris. We now send our cranes with an even stronger message for peace.

Earlier another group of our students sent cranes to a school in Russia 

 Adam Trinity, Ben and Nina

   

Abbey, Dawon, Caroline, Charlotte & Cate

 

In return a school in Smolenskoye , Russia sent us drawings and cranes.

They also sent a  link to their school web sites and to some videos about life at their school.
