Many thanks to all that participated in the activities for Mendes house day on Tuesday. It was fantastic to see so many people involved. The winners off the frog hunt were Anisa M and Iqra A from Morris house who collected a total of 34 frogs. Great work girls! The darts competition was won by Mahad K, who I’m sure we will see on the Alexandra Palace stage in years to come. Finally the quiz was won by Muhammad G with a scarcely believable 19/20 questions answered correctly! If you saw some of the frogs around school and would like to know how to make them please follow these instructions.

Step One

Fold the rectangle in half vertically and then unfold. Bring the top right corner down to the left diagonally and unfold.

Step Two

Bring the top left corner down to the right diagonally and unfold. Then turn the paper over.

Step Three

Fold the top of the rectangle down where the diagonal folds meet, unfold, and turn the paper over again.

Step Four

Bring the sides to the centre, so they meet each other (this is called a squash fold). Then flatten the top of your rectangle to make a triangle.

Step Five Fold

the two corners of the triangle up to the top point of triangle. Fold the left side of the paper towards the centre and repeat with the right side.

Step Six

Fold the two flaps at the top of the triangle in half so they point out. Fold the bottom of the paper up to the top corner of the triangle, then fold the paper down to the bottom edge. Turn the whole thing over to reveal your jumping frog!
