The fifth day of the Child-Friendly School Orientation Programme (MPLS) for Al Siddiq International Kindergarten pupils was held on Friday, 17 July 2026, in the Al Siddiq classroom. The final day of the orientation programme was designed to provide a fun and educational atmosphere, enabling children to learn through play. Through a variety of engaging activities, pupils were encouraged to develop essential skills, become familiar with school routines, and enjoy meaningful learning experiences with their teachers and classmates.
In the morning, the children arrived in their classroom and waited for the school activities to begin. During this time, they were free to play with a range of educational toys prepared by the teachers. This play session allowed the children to interact with their peers, strengthen their social skills, and settle into a comfortable and enjoyable learning environment from the moment they arrived.
The day’s learning activities began with a warm-up session, followed by a collective recitation of prayers. Afterwards, the children enthusiastically participated in a cheerful healthy exercise session. Through these physical activities, they were able to move their bodies, improve their fitness, and prepare themselves to take part in the following learning activities with greater focus and enthusiasm.
The main activity of the day involved creating an ice cream craft using crepe paper. The children tore, scrunched, and glued pieces of crepe paper onto ice cream templates prepared by the teachers. This activity was designed to develop the children’s fine motor skills, particularly hand and finger coordination while tearing, scrunching, and sticking the paper. In addition, it encouraged patience, accuracy, and the ability to remain focused until completing their artwork.
After completing their craft, the children washed their hands together as part of developing healthy hygiene habits. They then enjoyed snack time with their classmates. This routine also provided an opportunity for the children to practise cleanliness, independence, and good table manners.
The fifth and final day of the School Orientation Programme concluded with preparations for going home. All activities were carried out smoothly, with the pupils showing great enthusiasm and joy throughout the day. Through the final day’s activities, the pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten not only gained enjoyable learning experiences but also developed their fine motor skills, patience, and concentration, providing a strong foundation for their future learning journey at school.
