On Tuesday, 3 February 2026, the kindergarten pupils of Al Siddiq International took part in an Educational Field Trip filled with joy and new experiences. This activity was part of an out-of-class learning programme designed to provide children with direct, hands-on experiences. On this occasion, our destination was the National Library, a place rich in sources of knowledge and engaging reading materials for children. The purpose of this field trip was to foster a love of reading from an early age, introduce children to the library environment, and train them to be orderly and independent in public places. In addition, this visit offered children the opportunity to learn in a fun and enjoyable way—not only through books in the classroom, but also through real-life experiences outside school. The journey began with great enthusiasm. The children first gathered in front of Bella Vista as the meeting point. Once all participants were present, we departed together for the National Library by bus. Throughout the journey, the children were visibly excited and eager to arrive at their destination. Upon arrival at the National Library, we took group photographs in front of the building as a keepsake. The group then proceeded to the 7th floor, which houses the children’s services area. There, the children took part in a read-aloud session guided by staff from the National Library. They listened attentively and appeared to thoroughly enjoy every part of the story being read. After the read-aloud session, the children were given the opportunity to read independently. They were free to choose books that interested them, sit calmly, and turn the pages one by one with great curiosity. This activity helped develop their concentration, independence, and love for books. To conclude the programme, a plaque from TK Al Siddiq International was formally presented by the Head of TK Al Siddiq to the National Library staff. This moment symbolised our gratitude for the warm welcome and the valuable experience provided to the children. This field trip became a joyful occasion filled with happiness and beautiful memories that the children will not easily forget.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
