Making Seasonal Learning Fun by Creating a Four-Season Tree
On Wednesday, 15 April 2026, Kindergarten B students of Al Siddiq International took part in an engaging classroom learning activity. The activity focused on creating a four-season tree—spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Through this hands-on task, the children were introduced to the differences between seasons around the world in a fun and accessible way. The activity began with the teacher dividing the pupils into small groups of four. Each child in the group received a picture of a tree representing a different season. Some were given a spring tree with blossoming flowers, others a summer tree with lush green leaves, an autumn tree with yellow and orange foliage, and a winter tree without leaves or covered in snow. The children then coloured their tree pictures according to the characteristics of each season they had learned. They used a variety of colours to express the uniqueness of each season. This colouring activity not only fostered creativity but also helped the children to better understand the visual features of each season. Next, the children folded their coloured tree pictures and carefully cut them out. This step helped develop their fine motor skills and attention to detail. Once all the pieces were ready, each group worked together to assemble the four tree images into a single piece. The result was a unique four-sided tree, with each side representing a different season. Afterwards, each group came to the front of the class to present their work. The aim of this activity was to help children recognise and understand the concept of seasons around the world, which they may not experience directly. In addition, it was designed to develop teamwork, enhance creativity, and practise basic skills such as colouring, folding, cutting, and sticking. Through this active and enjoyable learning approach, children found it easier to grasp the material presented.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
