The Project-Based Learning (PJBL) activity entitled “Maket House” was carried out by the children of TK A and TK B Al Siddiq International from Tuesday to Friday, 30 September – 1 October 2025. The activity took place in each classroom as part of thematic learning under the topic “My Environment”. Through the PJBL approach, the children were encouraged to learn actively and meaningfully by creating simple house models that reflected their understanding of their living environment.
The main objective of this activity was to help children develop an understanding of the elements found in their surroundings, such as houses, fences, roads, trees, and yards. In addition, the activity aimed to enhance fine motor skills, cooperation, communication, and creativity as the children designed and decorated their own house models. By directly handling various materials and tools, they were able to learn in a fun, explorative, and practical way.
For the TK B group, the project began on Tuesday with making houses, windows, and doors using recycled materials and craft tools. On Wednesday, they continued by creating roofs, fences, and trees. Thursday was dedicated to making roads and arranging the layout of the houses on cardboard as the base of the model. Friday served as the finishing day, where the children presented their completed projects to their teachers and classmates.
Meanwhile, the TK A group started their project on Tuesday by making house walls using ice cream sticks assembled together. On Wednesday, they continued with the construction of simple roofs. On Thursday, the children added fences and grass decorations to beautify their models. Like the TK B group, Friday was dedicated to completing and presenting their finished work.
The “Maket House” PJBL activity provided a joyful and meaningful learning experience for the children. They not only learned to recognise parts of a house and their surrounding environment but were also trained to think creatively, solve problems, and collaborate in groups. By engaging cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor aspects, this PJBL activity became an essential part of supporting the holistic development of early childhood learners at TK Al Siddiq International.
