I’ve uploaded an old booklet I bought it in the 1980s for 25 pence, ‘Paper-Folding for Schools’, published By Charles And Son Ltd, at https://archive.org/details/paper-folding-for-schools-published-by-charles-and-son-ltd.
Without mentioning it, the contents draw on the Froebel kindergarten tradition of paperfolding, but the folding of circular paper is an unusual addition.
You can find more information about Froebelian Paperfolding and Additional Occupations at https://www.origamiheaven.com/historyindex.htm
The booklet has no date, no author(s) and no table of contents. This could be the second, or more likely, the fifth edition (1929) of ‘Paper Folding for Schools’ by M Hopkins, including a series of lessons on paper-folding from the circle, by Lilian Elliott.
Contents:
The aim and value of paper folding
Preliminary talk on the unfolded square
The first folds
Objects made from two squares of paper
Corner folds on square
Ground form—the large envelope or letter
Ground form—the small letter or envelope
Ground form—the houseboat
Ground form—the boat
Ground form—the boat with the sail
Ground form—the boat with the box for fish
Ground form—picture frame
Simple objects from the oblong
Paper-folding from the circle
Objects made from the fourfold plan
