First Day of the School Orientation Programme at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten
The first day of the School Orientation Programme (MPLS) for pupils at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten was held on Monday, 13 July 2026. The programme marked a joyful beginning to the children’s educational journey in their new school environment. Through a variety of carefully planned activities, the pupils were encouraged to feel comfortable, become familiar with their surroundings, and develop enthusiasm for learning from their very first day. In the morning, the children arrived at their classrooms accompanied by their parents and waited for the opening ceremony to begin. During this time, they enjoyed playing with a range of educational toys and learning resources prepared by their teachers. These play-based activities helped the children feel more relaxed, encouraged them to interact with their new classmates, and eased any nervousness they may have experienced on their first day at school. When it was time for the ceremony, all Kindergarten pupils lined up neatly and walked to the Al Siddiq International School Assembly Ground to join the whole school community for the official opening of the orientation programme. The ceremony was conducted in an orderly and respectful manner and marked an important milestone in the beginning of the new academic year. One of the highlights was the presentation of personalised name badges to the new pupils, including those in Kindergarten A, symbolising their official welcome into the Al Siddiq International family. After the ceremony, the children returned to their classrooms with their teachers. The classroom atmosphere was warm, friendly, and enjoyable as the pupils took part in singing activities and introductory games. They were introduced to their teachers and classmates, helping them become acquainted with one another and feel increasingly confident about learning together. The first day of the School Orientation Programme was designed to help the children become familiar with their new school environment through a range of engaging activities both on the school grounds and in the classroom. Throughout the day, the pupils learned to adapt to school life, became acquainted with simple classroom routines and expectations, and began building positive relationships with their teachers and friends. Before the end of the school day, each child received a small reward in recognition of their enthusiasm and participation during the day’s activities. This gesture was intended to create a positive and memorable first-school experience, encouraging the children to look forward to returning the following day with confidence and excitement. The first day of the School Orientation Programme concluded smoothly in an atmosphere filled with happiness and laughter, providing a wonderful start to the new academic year for the pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
