SIMPLE BUT SWEET - ORIGINAL ORIGAMI



How to make a lovely gift box…

Firstly fold all four corners to the center , then turn over the paper and repeat this action , so that the square gets even smaller .

Then turn it over again , following that fold the center points to the outer corners .

Once that's done turn it over again and this time fold all four of the corner points out to the middle of each side of the square , then turn the whole thing over again .

Now take one of the four corner points and fold them to the center and back creating triangular waves for decoration and repeat this to all four corners .

Push your index finger into the corner and with the ring finger and thumb of your other hand squeeze the edges together creating height.

Your gift box is now ready to be filled !

Hope you all had a happy holiday...

Hello, i hope everyone had a fun holiday. I spent the first week in Surabaya. It was a ghost city as everyone had left on the mass 'mudik'! Treacle enjoyed having the roads to herself and we went on long city walks. For the second week i went to Ubud, Bali with a few friends. It rained the whole time making the whole area a mix of lush greens. I spent my time there joining yoga classes, eating delicious food and playing scrabble with friends while sat in cosy cafes. You probably think that this sounds like a 'boring' holiday, but for me it was wonderful! Yeah!

...So, until the next holiday it is time to get back to studying...homework forever! enjoy!

Last sunday some of the fabulous Kelt family went to Taman Bungkul to support the 'Zero Waste' campaign.

We gave away trees and also exchanged plastic bags for Kelt Zero Waste bags. We explained to everyone we met how to use the bags too. I hope you are all using yours too !!!!!

It's not difficult but if we all use them it will make a big difference to our lovely 'Green and Clean' Suroboyo ! So, every time you go shopping just fold up the back and slip it into your pocket. Then, at the supermarket or in a shop just pull it out when you are ready to pay.

Ask the cashier to put your purchases in there instead of in yet another plastic bag. Yes, they may think you are a bit strange but does that really matter- no not at all! If we all make this a habit then we really can claim that we are doing our bit to 'Save the World'.

Say NO to plastic bags- say YES to Zero Waste!!!!

Hello...here is some of my student's work...Pre Intermediate 2 created these wonderful postcards from destinations all over the world- to see them close-up go to the reception area of Kelt, Jawa Street. Also

Good luck to all of you with your mid-tests next week, don't forget to revise everything that has been covered in class and feel free to ask me if there is something that you don't fully understand.
