The basketball enrichment activity at TK Al Siddiq was held on Wednesday, 1 April 2026, filled with enthusiasm and joy. This activity forms part of the school’s additional learning programmes, designed to provide children with a new and enjoyable introduction to basketball. In an active and interactive atmosphere, children were encouraged to move, play, and learn simultaneously.
All TK Al Siddiq pupils participated in the activity, taking part in each session with great enthusiasm. The programme was conducted on the Al Siddiq field, offering ample space for children to move freely. The open and comfortable environment allowed them to engage more confidently in physical activities and interact with their peers.
The objectives of this basketball enrichment activity encompass six areas of child development. From a physical and motor perspective, children were trained to improve coordination, balance, and muscle strength through activities such as throwing, catching, and dribbling the ball. Cognitively, they learned to understand simple instructions, recognise directions, and grasp basic game strategies. In terms of language development, children were encouraged to understand and follow instructions, as well as communicate with peers and teachers throughout the activity.
From a social and emotional perspective, the activity helped children learn cooperation, patience in taking turns, and emotional regulation during play. In terms of religious and moral values, children were guided to practise honesty, discipline, and sportsmanship. Meanwhile, from an artistic perspective, children were able to express themselves through creative and rhythmic body movements while playing basketball.
The series of activities began with a morning line-up and circle time to build readiness. This was followed by performing the Duha prayer together to instil spiritual values. The programme then continued with the basketball enrichment session, where children were introduced to basic techniques in a simple and enjoyable manner. After exercising, the children enjoyed snack time to restore their energy, followed by murojaah (Qur’an recitation review), before preparing to return home.
Through this activity, it is hoped that children will not only gain physical benefits but also develop holistically across various aspects. The basketball enrichment programme serves as both an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience, helping children grow into healthy, active, and confident individuals.
