Ready to Compete, Ready for Blessings: Special Ramadhan Activities at Al Siddiq Kindergarten

/

In preparation for the competitions that will be held the following week, Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B students of Al Siddiq International participated in a name tag–making activity on Friday, 27 February 2025. In addition, during the month of Ramadhan, the school also organises daily tausiyah (Islamic talks) as a replacement for snack time. Both activities are designed as part of positive habits that support children’s readiness, both in developing skills and building character. The name tag–making activity was conducted in each classroom. Teachers provided white cardboard as the main material. The children were given the freedom to decorate their name tags according to their creativity, from colouring and drawing to adding simple decorations. After that, they wrote their names on the name tags. For Kindergarten A students, teachers still assisted them in writing their names so that the results would be neater and easier to read. Meanwhile, Kindergarten B students wrote their own names independently, as a way to practise self-reliance and build confidence. This name tag activity aims to train children to develop responsibility and a sense of ownership towards their personal belongings, especially in preparation for the upcoming competitions. By making and decorating their own name tags, the children learn to recognise their identity while also building pride in their work. The activity also helps develop fine motor skills, creativity, and writing abilities according to the developmental stage of each group. During the month of Ramadhan, the tausiyah sessions are held every day after the Duha prayer, replacing the usual snack time. These sessions take place either in the mosque or in the Zainab classroom, depending on the schedule and the conditions of the day. The speakers rotate among all the teachers of Al Siddiq Kindergarten, allowing the children to experience different styles of delivery while still maintaining a warm approach appropriate to their age. The topics vary, including the virtues of fasting, the importance of sharing, proper manners towards parents and teachers, and good habits during the month of Ramadhan. The purpose of the tausiyah activity is to instil Islamic values from an early age in a simple and easily understandable way. By replacing snack time with time for listening to religious guidance, children learn that Ramadhan is a special month that should be filled with more meaningful activities. They are also trained to sit calmly, listen attentively, and respect those who are speaking. Through the activities of making name tags and daily tausiyah sessions, Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B students are not only prepared for the upcoming competitions but are also guided to grow into individuals who are independent, confident, and well-mannered. The learning atmosphere becomes more lively and purposeful. Each activity is designed not merely to fill time, but to create meaningful learning experiences throughout the month of Ramadhan.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

/

In preparation for the arrival of the holy month of Ramadhan, Al Siddiq International Primary School held a Tarhib Ramadhan event on Friday, 13 February. The activity was attended by all students, teachers, and school staff with great enthusiasm as a form of preparation for welcoming the blessed month. The Tarhib Ramadhan programme took place within the school environment and featured a series of activities aimed at fostering the spirit of worship and strengthening Islamic values among the students. The event began with an opening session and a briefing from the school, highlighting the importance of preparing oneself spiritually ahead of the month of Ramadhan. Following this, the students participated in a Tarhib Ramadhan parade, carrying various Ramadhan-themed attributes and posters. Through this activity, students were encouraged to express their joy in welcoming the holy month while also reminding the surrounding community of the arrival of Ramadhan. In addition to the parade, students were also given guidance on positive values and good deeds that can be practised during Ramadhan, such as increasing acts of worship, sharing with others, maintaining good behaviour, and enhancing care for the surrounding environment. Teachers also provided motivation for the students so that they may observe the fast with sincerity and enthusiasm. The Tarhib Ramadhan activity became a meaningful moment for the entire school community. It served not only as a celebration to welcome Ramadhan but also as a learning opportunity for students to understand the significance of the holy month and the importance of strengthening their faith and devotion. Through this activity, it is hoped that all students of Al Siddiq International Primary School will welcome the month of Ramadhan with joyful hearts, a strong spirit of worship, and a determination to become better individuals.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

Qur’an Munaqosyah: An Effort to Preserve Mutqin Memorisation and Shape Qur’anic Character

/

Al Siddiq International School once again organised an important programme in nurturing students’ Qur’anic character through the Qur’an Munaqosyah, held from Monday to Friday, 9–13 February 2026. This activity is one of the school’s flagship programmes aimed at ensuring that the quality of students’ Qur’an memorisation is maintained at an optimal level. Munaqosyah is a comprehensive evaluation process of the Qur’an memorisation possessed by the students. During this activity, each participant is directly assessed by the Munaqosyah Team, consisting of examiners who are highly competent in the fields of tahfizh (Qur’an memorisation) and Qur’anic studies. The students are required to recite their memorised verses in a tartil manner while also responding to various forms of testing that assess the strength and accuracy of their memorisation. The implementation of munaqosyah is not merely a means of academic evaluation but also serves broader educational purposes. Through this activity, the school seeks to measure students’ Qur’an memorisation objectively while also assessing the accuracy of their application of tajwid and the correct articulation (makhraj) of each letter in the verses they recite. With a systematic assessment process, the students’ memorisation can be ensured to reach the level of mutqin—memorisation that is strong, fluent, and accurately preserved. In addition, munaqosyah also functions as a medium for developing the students’ mental resilience. By reciting in front of the examiners, students are trained to develop confidence, composure, and mental readiness in presenting their Qur’an memorisation openly. This experience is expected to help build strong character while also improving discipline in maintaining their memorisation. Furthermore, the munaqosyah serves as a standardisation process for graduation within the Qur’an tahfizh programme at Al Siddiq International School. Every memorisation achievement attained by the students must go through a strict verification process, ensuring that the quality of graduates remains consistent and meets clearly defined standards. More than just an assessment process, munaqosyah also serves as a meaningful moment to deepen students’ love for the Qur’an. Through the processes of memorising, preserving, and testing their memorisation, students are encouraged to realise that the Qur’an is not only meant to be memorised, but also to be understood, preserved, and practised in daily life. As one of the flagship programmes of Al Siddiq International School, the munaqosyah demonstrates the school’s commitment to nurturing a generation that excels not only academically but also maintains a strong connection with the Qur’an. Through continuous guidance and development, it is hoped that the students will grow into a Qur’anic generation with noble character, strong knowledge, and the ability to contribute positively to society.

Learning Patterns and Colours through Ramadan Creations

/

In welcoming the spirit of Ramadan, pupils of Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B at Al Siddiq International took part in two creative activities held in their respective classrooms. On Wednesday, 25 February 2025, the children created mosque-themed stamps. The following day, Thursday, 26 February 2026, they continued with an activity making ketupat decorations. Both activities were designed as part of enjoyable thematic learning suited to the developmental stage of early years children. In the stamping activity, the teacher first prepared mosque-shaped templates. For Kindergarten A pupils, the mosque patterns had already been cut out by the teacher so that the children could focus directly on the stamping process. Meanwhile, Kindergarten B pupils were given the opportunity to cut out their own mosque patterns under the teacher’s guidance. The teacher then distributed plain sheets of paper as the base. The children applied paint to the template and stamped it repeatedly until the entire surface of the paper was covered in colour. The most eagerly awaited final step was removing the mosque template, revealing a neat and attractive mosque silhouette on their paper. The following day, the activity continued with making ketupat decorations. For Kindergarten A pupils, the teacher had prepared circular paper cut-outs ready to be arranged. The children arranged them in an A-B-A-B pattern, learning to recognise simple repeating sequences. Once the arrangement was complete, they added a hanging ornament at the bottom and a string at the top as the finishing touch. For Kindergarten B pupils, the teacher prepared half of the circular pieces, while the remaining pieces were made by the children themselves. After all the parts were ready, they arranged them in the same pattern and added a hanging ornament and string so that the decoration could be displayed. These activities served several important purposes. In addition to introducing symbols associated with Ramadan, such as mosques and ketupat, they also helped develop fine motor skills through cutting, sticking, stamping, and pattern-arranging tasks. The children learned to follow step-by-step instructions, practised concentration, and developed creativity in selecting and combining colours. In particular, during the ketupat arrangement activity, they were introduced to the basic concept of patterns and sequences. Through these activities, Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B pupils not only produced beautiful creations but also gained meaningful learning experiences. The differing levels of independence between the two classes formed part of the learning process, adjusted to their respective ages and abilities. The classroom atmosphere was lively and full of enthusiasm. With activities such as these, learning becomes more enjoyable while strengthening the children’s understanding of the meaning and traditions of Ramadan.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

/

The Market Day event at SD Al Siddiq International was once again held with great joy and enthusiasm. This year, the activity was organised in four separate sessions to ensure that all pupils could participate fully. Held on the fourth floor of the school, the event ran from 8.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. and was lively and vibrant in every session. The first session took place on Thursday, 29 January 2026, involving Classes 3A, 5, and 6. From early morning, the pupils were busy arranging their tables and decorating their stalls to make them as attractive as possible. A variety of products, including snacks, refreshing drinks, and homemade creations, were neatly displayed. The pupils learned to promote their goods confidently and to serve customers in a friendly manner. The second session was held on Tuesday, 3 February 2026, with Classes 3B, 2A, and 2C. The atmosphere grew even more animated with a wide range of creative and innovative products.

Each group strived to provide the best service and to promote their products in unique ways. This activity became a practical learning experience about responsibility, honesty, and hard work. The final session was conducted on Thursday, 12 February 2026, with Classes 1A and 1B. Although they are in the lower years, their enthusiasm was no less remarkable. With guidance from their teachers, they learned the basic concepts of buying and selling, from stating prices to receiving payments. This experience became a valuable opportunity for them to learn through play. The Market Day activities were truly festive and vibrant. All pupils looked happy and eager. Teachers and staff of Al Siddiq International also took part by shopping and offering their full support to the pupils. Even pupils from the Kindergarten and Secondary levels under the Al Siddiq International School foundation joined in by making purchases, making the sense of togetherness even warmer. Through this event, pupils not only learned about entrepreneurship but also developed communication skills, basic management abilities, creativity, and teamwork. Market Day served as a meaningful and enjoyable form of contextual learning. It is hoped that this experience will nurture independence and an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age in every pupil, while strengthening the bond within the entire Al Siddiq International community.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

Farewell to the Headteacher as a Form of Institutional Appreciation by the School Committee and Student Council

/

Friday, 27 February 2026 marked a deeply meaningful moment for the entire Al-Siddiq International School community. Held at the Al Siddiq International School Mosque on the second floor, the farewell ceremony for the Headteacher, Mr Yusuf Yudhana, S.Pd, took place following a collective dhikr, creating a solemn, reflective, and emotional atmosphere. The recitation of dhikr echoing throughout the main prayer hall was not merely the opening of the programme, but a symbol that every leadership role within an educational institution is grounded in spiritual values and moral responsibility. From that blessed space, prayers were offered, accompanying a leadership transition that has left its own historical imprint. Appreciation and Reflection on Leadership In her address, the representative of the School Committee, Mrs Delta Jagad, conveyed her deep appreciation to Mr Yusuf Yudhana, S.Pd, for his dedication and service. “Leadership is not merely a position, but a civilisational trust. In the hands of a leader, direction is determined and culture is shaped. Thank you for your unwavering dedication in advancing Al-Siddiq International School.” Her remarks reflected recognition of a leadership approach focused not only on programme achievements, but also on cultivating a progressive and character-driven school culture. Meanwhile, in his farewell speech, the Headteacher delivered a heartfelt and sincere message. “This school is not merely a place of learning, but a space where character and great aspirations grow. If today we see our children becoming more confident, more virtuous, and more accomplished, it is the result of our collective efforts.” He also expressed his gratitude to the teachers, the School Committee, and all students for their collaboration and support throughout his tenure. For him, every achievement attained was the fruit of togetherness, not of individual effort alone. The farewell was emphasised not as the end of togetherness, but as a change of role within the wider stage of service. Leadership may change, but the values and spirit that have been instilled must continue. The school will keep moving forward, built upon the foundations of unity, integrity, and prayer. The event concluded with a collective prayer led solemnly, seeking blessings for every step of service that has been undertaken. The emotional atmosphere deepened as teachers, students, and members of the School Committee exchanged handshakes and mutual forgiveness with the Headteacher. The moment became a powerful symbol of the strong familial bonds that have been formed — not merely a ceremonial farewell, but a meeting of hearts grounded in respect, gratitude, and sincere prayers for continued service in the years to come.By Retno Suzzane, Lc, M.

Colourful Lanterns and Mosaics for Ramadan

/

In welcoming the holy month of Ramadan, pupils from Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B at Al Siddiq International took part in a creative activity making lanterns and mosaic hangings shaped like the moon and stars. The activity became both an enjoyable and meaningful moment for the children. With classrooms filled with enthusiasm, they learned while creating, using their own hands and imagination. The lantern-making activity was held on Monday, 23 February 2025, in their respective classrooms. The teachers first printed out the prepared lantern templates. The children then decorated them by colouring according to their creativity. For Kindergarten A, the words “Ramadan Mubarak” were already printed on the template, allowing them to focus on colouring and enhancing the design. Meanwhile, the Kindergarten B pupils wrote “Ramadan Mubarak” themselves using crayons before decorating their lanterns. During the process, Kindergarten A pupils were still assisted by teachers when cutting out the templates and gluing the pieces together. In contrast, Kindergarten B pupils completed the task more independently, with teachers only guiding them through the steps. The following day, Tuesday, 24 February 2026, the activity continued with the creation of moon and star mosaic hangings. Teachers prepared origami paper as the main material and printed out moon and star patterns. The children then filled the patterns by sticking on small pieces of colourful paper. Once the entire surface was neatly covered, the finished work was cut out following its shape and fitted with a string so that it could be hung as a decoration. This activity aimed to introduce the meaning and atmosphere of Ramadan to the children from an early age in a fun and age-appropriate way. In addition, it helped to develop fine motor skills through colouring, cutting, sticking, and writing activities. The children learned to follow instructions, to be patient in completing their tasks, and to build confidence when seeing their finished creations. The differing levels of independence between Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B also formed part of the learning process, adjusted to each stage of development. Through the lantern and mosaic-making activities, the pupils of Kindergarten A and Kindergarten B not only produced beautiful Ramadan decorations but also gained valuable learning experiences. They learned to work neatly, to take responsibility for their tasks, and to appreciate both their own work and that of their friends. The classroom atmosphere felt warm and joyful, reflecting the spirit of welcoming Ramadan with happy hearts.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Strengthening Students’ Academic Foundations: Grade 9 TKA Simulation Academic Year 2025/2026 at Al Siddiq International School

/

On Wednesday, 25 February 2026, grade 9 students of Al Siddiq International School took part in the Academic Competency Test (Tes Kemampuan Akademik – TKA) Simulation held in the school’s computer laboratory. The activity was attended by all Year 9 students, who participated with thorough preparation. The session ran in an orderly and smooth manner, reflecting the students’ enthusiasm and strong commitment. The TKA Simulation forms part of a diagnostic programme and initial competency assessment for students at primary and secondary levels (SD/MI, SMP/MTs, and SMA/MA/SMK) as preparation for the official TKA administered by the Kementerian Pendidikan Dasar dan Menengah (Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education). This assessment is designed as a parameter to measure students’ academic abilities objectively, systematically, and comprehensively, providing a more accurate picture of their learning attainment. The computer-based simulation not only aims to familiarise students with a digital examination system, but also serves as a structured means of mapping academic competencies. Through this activity, the school obtains preliminary data that can be used as a foundation for designing targeted academic reinforcement strategies and learning support ahead of the official TKA. The TKA plays a strategic role in students’ educational journeys. TKA results may serve as one of the considerations for admission to the next level of education, including pathways such as Seleksi Nasional Berdasarkan Prestasi (SNBP – National Selection Based on Achievement) as well as other selection routes. At secondary level, TKA results may also be considered for entry into senior high schools or vocational schools through achievement-based pathways, in accordance with the policies of respective regional authorities. Students who sit the TKA will receive a Certificate of TKA Results (SHTKA). This certificate may be used for various educational selection purposes, making it a valuable academic document in supporting students’ continued studies. The Headteacher, Mr Amal Dzikrullah, M.Pd., stated that the implementation of this simulation represents a strategic step by the school in preparing students to face increasingly competitive academic challenges. According to him, the activity aims to: Help students understand the format and characteristics of TKA questions; Improve time management skills during examinations; Provide authentic experience in undertaking computer-based assessments; Enhance students’ readiness and build their confidence in facing future educational selections. The successful implementation of this simulation reflects the school’s readiness in terms of facilities and infrastructure, as well as the strong commitment of its educators in providing optimal guidance to students. It is hoped that through this initiative, Year 9 students will become more academically and mentally prepared for the next stage of their education. This TKA Simulation forms part of the ongoing commitment of Al Siddiq International School to deliver high-quality education that is measurable, adaptive to technological advancements, and future-oriented in nurturing a high-achieving generation.
