On Friday, 13 February 2026, the pupils of TK Al Siddiq International took part in a Tarhib Ramadhan activity held around the school neighbourhood. This event aimed to welcome the holy month of Ramadhan with great joy and enthusiasm. Ramadhan is a month full of blessings, and by involving children from an early age in activities such as this, it is hoped that they will feel the excitement of welcoming the sacred month and understand the importance of sharing and caring for others. The Tarhib Ramadhan activity was attended by all TK pupils together with students from the primary and secondary levels. All participants gathered in the school field to begin the programme. The atmosphere was filled with excitement as the children interacted with one another, neatly dressed in their uniforms and full of spirit. The event commenced with an opening address by the Head of Islamic Affairs of Al Siddiq, who delivered an important message about the meaning of Ramadhan and invited all participants to welcome this month of forgiveness with pure hearts. Following the opening, the programme continued with a joint documentation session. Pupils from kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels posed together as a symbol of unity in welcoming Ramadhan. This activity provided an opportunity for the younger children to get to know and interact with students from higher levels. It also became a memorable moment for them, as they experienced a strong sense of togetherness in preparing for the blessed month. After the documentation session, the children lined up alongside the primary and secondary students to begin a leisurely walk around the school neighbourhood. With high spirits, they walked together while distributing small snacks to local residents as a gesture of sharing happiness in welcoming Ramadhan. This activity also instilled social values and highlighted the importance of sharing with others, which is one of the core teachings of Islam. Finally, after completing the distribution of snacks, all participants returned to school with joyful hearts. This activity not only provided an experience of welcoming Ramadhan but also strengthened the bonds of brotherhood among students from different educational levels. Through this Tarhib Ramadhan activity, it is hoped that the children will gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of the holy month and experience the happiness that comes from sharing with others.By Inka Amalia, S.

On Tuesday, 3 February 2026, the pupils of TK Al Siddiq International continued their exciting and educational field trip programme. After previously visiting the National Library, the journey continued to the Regional Disaster Management Agency of Jakarta (BPBD DKI Jakarta). This visit became a truly valuable new experience, as the children were introduced to the world of disaster preparedness in a way that was both enjoyable and easy to understand. The activity aimed to introduce children, from an early age, to the importance of personal safety and how to respond in emergency situations. Through their visit to BPBD DKI Jakarta, the children learned that disasters such as earthquakes, fires, and floods can occur, but that risks can be reduced by understanding the correct steps to take. The programme also encouraged bravery, calmness, and the ability to follow instructions during emergencies. Upon arrival at BPBD DKI Jakarta, the children were divided into four small groups to ensure the activities ran smoothly and effectively. Each group took turns visiting several simulation stations prepared by the officers. The children appeared enthusiastic and curious about the various equipment and simulation rooms available. At the earthquake simulation station, the children were taught how to protect themselves, such as taking cover under a table and shielding their heads. At the fire simulation station, they were introduced to ways of keeping themselves safe during a fire, including the importance of remaining calm and following evacuation routes. Meanwhile, at the first aid station, the children learned simple first aid skills, such as how to clean a minor wound. At the flood simulation station, they received an explanation about the dangers of flooding and the importance of caring for the environment to prevent blocked drainage systems. What made the experience even more engaging was that at the first aid and flood simulation stations, the children had the opportunity to try Virtual Reality (VR) technology. With the help of VR, they were able to observe emergency situations in a realistic yet safe manner. They were extremely enthusiastic and experienced the activity as learning through play. The visit to BPBD DKI Jakarta provided many valuable lessons for the pupils of TK Al Siddiq International. It not only broadened their understanding of disaster awareness, but also fostered alertness, courage, and concern for personal and environmental safety. The field trip became an unforgettable day filled with knowledge and joy.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

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

On Tuesday, 27 January, TK B2 Fatimah Azzahra, and on Wednesday, 28 January 2026, TK B1 Ummu Kultsum of Al Siddiq International took part in a creative Art & Creativity learning activity held in the art classroom. This activity focused on the theme of recycling by creating berry fruits from used bottle caps. Through this fun and educational activity, children were encouraged to explore shapes and colours while learning about various types of berries such as strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and grapes. The activity began with the teacher introducing different types of berries to the children. Through pictures and short stories, the children learned the names of berries, their shapes, colours, and distinctive tastes. Afterwards, the children were invited to mention the berries they already knew as a form of two-way interaction and an initial assessment of their understanding of the topic. Next, the children began creating their artwork using recycled bottle caps. The caps were attached to paper or cardboard and arranged to resemble their chosen berries. With the help of watercolours and their own creativity, the children decorated the bottle caps to look like red strawberries with white spots, bluish-purple blueberries, clusters of grapes, or cherries with green stems. This process not only developed the children’s fine motor skills, but also enhanced creativity, patience, and hand–eye coordination. Once the artworks were completed, each child was encouraged to explain which berry they had created. This activity aimed to develop communication skills, boost self-confidence, and provide opportunities for children to express their ideas and creations. The children appeared enthusiastic and proud as they presented their work to their friends. The purpose of this activity was to nurture creativity and imagination in early childhood through the use of environmentally friendly recycled materials. In addition, the activity introduced children to different types of berries, instilled the importance of caring for the environment, and encouraged appreciation of both the creative process and the work of themselves and others. This activity serves as a clear example of how art can be integrated into thematic learning in a meaningful and enjoyable way for children.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd
