Bekasi – September 2023
One of the extracurricular activities organised by Al Siddiq International Primary School (SD Al Siddiq) is the Educational Field Trip (EFT). For the first semester, the school’s inaugural EFT was a visit to Animalium (Animal Science Centre), a research facility owned by the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN).
Animalium, which has been open to the public since March 2023, was designed as a destination for animal science tourism. It enables visitors to explore and learn about animal life ecosystems, thereby helping to foster ecological awareness and intelligence among the nation’s future generations.
With the dual purpose of learning and leisure, Al Siddiq pupils visited Animalium to directly observe various species of animals, their anatomy and characteristics, natural and artificial habitats, as well as to study animal conservation. The field trip, held on Tuesday (26/9), also served as a refreshing activity for pupils after completing their Mid-Semester Summative Assessments (STS) the previous week.
What impressions did the pupils gain from this EFT? They expressed great joy and excitement at learning in a new environment. The opportunity to see a variety of animals they had never encountered before was a memorable experience. Alhamdulillah, the trip ran smoothly, and everyone returned safely and in good health.
See you on the next trip and adventure!
