LEARNING STORY
One fine day, Kinar and her classmates were having the activities about ‘The Tortoise and The Hare’
origami. The teacher brought some origami paper and asked them to guess what we were going to do on
that day. The teacher asked “Do you know what we are going to do today?” and showed the origami
paper. Kinar replied “I know miss, we are going to make origami.” Then, the teacher gave the
instructions, “First, I will divide you in to two groups, one group will make the turtle origami, and the
rest will make the hare origami.” Kinar immediately raised her hand and said “I want the turtle, miss”.
The teacher responded “I will divide you into two groups first, Kinar”. After a while, the teacher
already divided them into two groups, and Kinar got the green origami paper as it would be the hare as
she wanted because when the teacher split them, she remained silent and sat down nicely. “yayyy!! I got
the turtle!!” she shouted. After several times, the teacher gave the first group the instruction to make the
tortoise origami. Actually, it was a quite difficult origami for kindergarten level, but Kinar could follow
the instructions well. After they finished their work, the teacher gave a pair of eyes to decorate the
tortoise origami also asked them to write down their name on the origami paper.
Still on the same day, we have different activity too. It is ‘The Tortoise and The Hare’ Race. When the
teacher set the race track, Kinar helped the teacher to set up the race track by tidying up the mats and
cleaning up the floor. The teacher said “thank you Kinar, for helping me”. After a while, the track
already finished and it’s time to start the race between the tortoise team and the hare team. Kinar was
enjoying her role as the turtle; she started the race and crawled as the turtle did. “Turtle crawling, Turtle
crawling ” she said. When the turtle as her role won, she looked so happy.
