Block Centre: Creating and Building a Flag Tower

/

On Tuesday, 11 August 2026, the children of TK B Al Siddiq took part in a play-based learning activity at the Block Centre. On this occasion, the children were invited to build a flag tower using wooden blocks. The activity provided a space for them to express their ideas and imagination through block structures of their own creation. Before beginning the activity, the teacher first explained the rules for playing at the Block Centre. The children were encouraged to understand how to pick up, use, and put away the blocks safely. The teacher also reminded them to use the blocks appropriately and to ensure that the activity remained orderly and enjoyable. After the rules had been explained, the teacher introduced the activity, which was to build a flag tower using blocks. The teacher explained the basic points that needed to be considered while still giving the children the freedom to determine the shape and arrangement of their structures according to their individual ideas. The children then began selecting the blocks they needed and arranging them to create their own towers. Throughout the activity, each child was able to create a different structure according to their imagination and creativity. Some children built tall towers using carefully arranged blocks, while others added additional sections as decorations or tried to create structures that differed from the example provided. This freedom to explore gave the children opportunities to learn how to make decisions and complete the structures they had planned. Building a flag tower also provided a range of developmental benefits. Arranging blocks can help develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, spatial awareness, creativity, and problem-solving skills. The children learnt to consider the balance of their structures, choose appropriately sized blocks, and try again when their arrangements did not turn out as expected. After the building activity was completed, the teacher conducted a recalling session with the children. They were given the opportunity to talk about what they had built, how they had created it, and how they felt during the activity. Through recalling, the children learnt to reflect on their play experiences, express their ideas, and listen to their friends’ stories. As part of developing a sense of responsibility, the activity concluded with tidying up the blocks that had been used. The children worked together to return the blocks to their proper places. This routine helped foster discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and care for the learning environment. Through the flag-tower building activity at the Block Centre, the children of TK B Al Siddiq gained an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience. They did not simply learn how to build using blocks, but also learnt to follow rules, develop creativity, solve problems, communicate their ideas and creations, and take responsibility for the materials they used. Through play, children are able to learn actively through experiences that are meaningful and closely connected to their world.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Outstanding Scouts, Global Connections: ATAS 2026 Agenda in Cibubur

/

Cibubur, 17 August 2026 — Three students from SMP Al-Siddiq International, Afika, Vania, and Kautsar, had the opportunity to attend an invitation to the ATAS (Association of Top Achiever Scouts) agenda held at Cut Nyak Dien, Bumi Perkemahan dan Graha Wisata Pramuka (Buperta) Cibubur, East Jakarta, on Monday, 17 August 2026. ATAS, or the Association of Top Achiever Scouts, is an international fraternity for Guides and Scouts who have achieved the highest distinction within their respective Scouting programmes. In Indonesia, this achievement is equivalent to Pramuka Garuda, the highest level of recognition for members of the Indonesian Scout Movement. Taking part in this agenda was a valuable experience for Afika, Vania, and Kautsar, giving them the opportunity to gain a broader understanding of the international Scouting network, build friendships with fellow Scouts, and gain insights into the contributions of outstanding Scouts at both national and international levels. The event was also attended by ATAS President Paramasivam Palany, who is serving his term for the 2024–2027 period. The presence of the ATAS leadership gave participants the opportunity to interact with and learn more about an organisation that brings together Top Achiever Scouts from various countries. In addition, the event was attended by TARAM representatives from across Bekasi, further strengthening the spirit of togetherness and fellowship among outstanding Scout members. This occasion also formed part of the effort to nurture a younger generation who are independent, disciplined, responsible, equipped with leadership qualities, and possess a global outlook. Through their experiences in Scouting activities, students are expected not only to achieve academic success, but also to develop leadership skills, social awareness, and the ability to collaborate with others. The participation of Afika, Vania, and Kautsar in the ATAS agenda at Buperta Cibubur was both a source of pride and an inspiring experience. May this opportunity motivate them to continue developing their potential, maintaining their spirit of achievement, and making positive contributions to their surroundings, school, and wider community.By Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc, M.Pd

Natural Materials Centre: The Joy of Water Play

/

On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, the children of TK B Al Siddiq took part in a learning activity at the Natural Materials Centre. During this session, the children were invited to explore a variety of activities using water as a medium for both play and learning. The learning environment was designed to be enjoyable, allowing the children to try, observe, and discover new experiences through activities of their own choice. Before they began playing, the teacher first explained the rules for activities at the Natural Materials Centre. The children were encouraged to understand how to use the tools and materials safely, keep the play area clean, and return the equipment after use. The teacher then introduced the different activities available and demonstrated simple ways to engage in each one. After understanding the rules and the activities available, the children were given the opportunity to choose activities according to their interests. Some children chose to measure the volume of water using containers of different sizes, while others experimented with pouring water into bottles. Some were also interested in mixing water of different colours. The children showed great enthusiasm as they tried different ways of exploring water and discovering what would happen as a result of their experiments. In addition, some children chose to play with water sponges. They dipped the sponges into the water, squeezed them, and observed the water coming out. This simple activity gave the children an opportunity to understand cause and effect while also developing hand strength and coordination. They also learnt to control their hand movements while squeezing the sponge so that the water could be transferred from one place to another. Water play at the Natural Materials Centre was not simply intended to provide an enjoyable play experience. It also served as a means of developing various skills, including fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, thinking skills, and problem-solving abilities. When the children experimented with measuring water, for example, they began to learn about concepts such as size, more and less, full and empty, as well as comparing volumes through concrete experiences. Mixing coloured water also gave the children an opportunity to experiment and develop their curiosity. They could observe how colours changed when two different colours were combined. Meanwhile, pouring water into bottles helped the children develop concentration, accuracy, and coordination of movement. Each activity provided a different learning experience while remaining rooted in the principle that children learn through play and direct exploration. Through this water-play activity, the children of TK B Al Siddiq were not only having fun, but were also given the opportunity to learn from their own experiences. The children were free to choose activities that interested them, while the teacher acted as a facilitator by accompanying, observing, and providing support whenever needed. In this way, the Natural Materials Centre became a space where children could explore, experiment, and develop a wide range of skills through activities that are closely connected to everyday life.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Developing Academic Potential Through the Academic Club Programme at Al Siddiq International Secondary School

/

Bekasi, August 2026 — In its efforts to enhance academic excellence while identifying and nurturing students’ potential, Al Siddiq International Secondary School has introduced an innovative learning initiative through its Academic Club Programme. The programme represents a strategic step by the school to provide students with a dedicated space to develop their talents, interests, and academic abilities in a more focused and structured manner. The Academic Club is divided into several areas based on students’ interests and potential, namely the Science Club, Math Club, and English Club. Each club is designed as a more exploratory, interactive, and challenging learning environment, enabling students not only to benefit from classroom instruction but also to deepen their knowledge and skills in areas that genuinely interest them. The Academic Club sessions are held twice a week according to a scheduled programme. Students take part in a variety of enrichment activities, practice exercises, discussions, experiments, problem-solving tasks, and other activities tailored to the characteristics of each subject area. The Science Club aims to nurture curiosity, observation skills, experimentation, and scientific thinking. Meanwhile, the Math Club provides opportunities for students to develop logical reasoning, numeracy, problem-solving skills, and strategies for tackling mathematical challenges. The English Club focuses on strengthening English language proficiency, communication skills, vocabulary, grammar, and the ability to understand and express ideas effectively in English. The programme is not solely aimed at improving students’ academic results. More importantly, the Academic Club is expected to serve as a platform for the school to identify students’ talents and interests from an early stage, particularly in academic fields. Every student has unique potential, and through consistent guidance and support, this potential can be developed into meaningful achievement. The Academic Club is also designed as part of the school’s student development programme in preparation for various academic competitions and Olympiads. Students who demonstrate particular aptitude and interest will receive further guidance and coaching to prepare them for competitions at school, regional, national, and other relevant levels. In addition to competition preparation, the programme also forms part of the school’s efforts to prepare students for their transition to senior secondary school. Strengthening their knowledge and skills in Science, Mathematics, and English is expected to provide a stronger academic foundation, enabling students to face the learning challenges of the next stage of their education with greater confidence. Through the Academic Club, the school is committed to fostering a learning culture that focuses not only on outcomes but also on the process of developing each student’s potential. Students are encouraged to be willing to try, ask questions, think critically, solve problems, communicate effectively, and continually improve their abilities. With consistent implementation and continuous guidance, the Academic Club is expected to nurture students who are academically capable, confident, resilient, and ready to embrace healthy competition. This programme represents one of the concrete steps taken by Al Siddiq International Secondary School to nurture a generation of lifelong learners with talent, competence, strong character, and a commitment to achievement, whilst preparing them to continue their education at senior secondary level with a stronger academic foundation.By Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc, M.Pd

Preparation Centre: Learning About Numbers 1 and 2 Through Play-Based Activities

/

On Wednesday, 5 August 2026, the children of TK A Al Siddiq took part in a learning activity at the Preparation Centre, focusing on recognising the numerals 1 and 2. The activity was designed to introduce children to basic number concepts in a simple, enjoyable way that was appropriate for their stage of development. The children were not only introduced to the shapes of the numerals, but were also encouraged to understand the relationship between each numeral and the corresponding quantity of concrete objects: one and two. The activity began with the children listening to a story from the Pippa and Pop book, in line with the current theme, “My Body”. Through the story, the children were encouraged to learn and expand their simple English vocabulary. In addition to developing their listening skills, the storytelling session provided an opportunity for the children to become familiar with English vocabulary in an enjoyable learning environment. After the storytelling session, the lesson continued with an introduction to the numerals 1 and 2. The teacher showed the children the shapes of the numerals and explained how to write them using simple steps. The children then practised following the example demonstrated by the teacher at the front of the classroom. This activity aimed to help the children recognise the shapes of the numerals while also developing hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills through writing practice. Next, the children were given worksheets related to the numbers 1 and 2. They were asked to complete the activities according to the instructions provided. During the activity, the teacher worked with the children individually, providing guidance and observing their progress directly. The children were given opportunities to count concrete objects and identify the corresponding quantity, either one or two objects. Counting concrete objects is important because young children are still developing their understanding of number concepts through real-life experiences. By seeing, holding, and counting objects directly, children can understand that the numeral 1 represents one object, while the numeral 2 represents two objects. This also enabled the teacher to assess how well each child was able to connect a numeral with its corresponding quantity. Through this activity, the children were expected to recognise the numerals 1 and 2, write them with greater confidence, and count concrete objects in quantities of one and two. In addition to developing early numeracy skills, the activity also supported language development, particularly through the introduction of English vocabulary from the Pippa and Pop story. The gradual, interactive, and individualised approach allowed each child to learn according to their own ability and pace. The Preparation Centre activity that day became a meaningful learning experience for the children of TK A Al Siddiq. From listening to a story and learning English vocabulary to practising numeral writing and counting concrete objects, the children had opportunities to learn through a variety of active and enjoyable experiences. Through this approach, number concepts that may initially seem abstract could be introduced through real-life activities that are familiar and meaningful to young children.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

PjBL at Al Siddiq International Primary School: Learning Science Through an Interactive Paper Circuit

/

Science learning at Al Siddiq International Primary School is becoming increasingly engaging through the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL). One of the activities carried out is the Interactive Paper Circuit Project, a creative project that enables students to understand the basic concepts of electricity through direct, hands-on learning experiences. In this activity, students create simple electrical circuits using paper, batteries, and LED lights. They learn how electricity flows through a circuit while also developing their creativity by designing and decorating their projects. Through the learning-by-doing approach, students not only gain an understanding of scientific concepts but also learn to identify problems, explore different solutions, and work collaboratively to complete their projects. This PjBL activity also develops a range of essential skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Every attempt, including discovering and correcting mistakes, becomes a valuable part of the students’ learning experience. Through project-based learning, curiosity develops into discovery, while creative ideas are transformed into tangible and meaningful creations. At Al Siddiq International Primary School, learning is not simply about knowing, but also about trying, creating, and discovering. Learning by creating, thinking by doing.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Project-Based Learning at Al Siddiq International School: Turning Used Items into Creative Ideas and Sustainable Solutions

/

Bekasi, 7 August 2026 — Project-Based Learning (PjBL) once again provided an opportunity for students at SMP Al Siddiq International School to develop their creativity, critical-thinking skills, and environmental awareness. This time, the students explored the theme “Making Use of Used Items” through a variety of experiments and creative group projects. For this activity, the students were divided into 10 groups. Each group was given the opportunity to develop its own ideas based on environmental issues identified in their surroundings. The learning process did not stop at creating the projects. The students also documented their experiments in the form of videos, which then became part of their presentations and the publication of their learning outcomes. The students successfully developed a wide range of interesting topics. Some groups focused on waste management issues that have yet to be properly addressed, while others explored ways of recycling used items into useful products. Another group developed an Eco Brick Project, which involved using plastic waste to create reusable materials. The projects did not focus solely on waste management. Several groups explored broader themes, such as “Minimal Waste Lifestyle”, which encourages people to adopt a lifestyle that minimises the amount of waste produced in everyday life. Meanwhile, the theme “A Life of Purity and Faith” connected cleanliness and environmental awareness with values rooted in faith. The PjBL process provided the students with a different kind of learning experience. Rather than simply receiving information theoretically, they were challenged to identify problems, gather information, discuss ideas, conduct experiments, find solutions, and communicate their findings through digital media. This activity demonstrated that project-based learning can provide a valuable space for students to develop critical thinking and creativity. From items that were previously considered useless, the students were able to discover various possibilities and transform them into meaningful ideas, creative works, and practical solutions. In addition to creativity and critical thinking, the activity also developed collaboration, communication, problem-solving, responsibility, and technological skills. Producing videos of their experiments was one way in which the students learnt how to present an idea in a clear and engaging manner. They then presented their projects and creative ideas in front of fellow students and teachers as a form of appreciation for the work produced by the students of SMP Al Siddiq International School. Through this PjBL activity, the students are expected not only to become a generation capable of using technology, but also a generation that is sensitive to environmental issues, confident in seeking solutions, and capable of creating innovations from simple things. Ultimately, this project conveyed an important message: used items are not merely rubbish. With creativity, knowledge, and care, something simple can be transformed into a valuable creation. This is one example of learning that encourages students not only to “learn to know”, but also to “learn to create, solve, and contribute.” By: Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc., M.Pd.By : Retno Suzanne Handayani,Lc, M,Pd

Fostering Discipline and Patriotism Through the Flag Ceremony

/

On Monday, 27 July 2026, Al Siddiq International Kindergarten held its regular flag ceremony, attended by all kindergarten pupils on the school field. This routine activity aims to instil character values, discipline, responsibility, and a love for the nation from an early age. Through the ceremony, pupils are encouraged to respect national symbols while developing the habit of following shared rules and procedures. Before the ceremony began, all pupils gathered on the school field and lined up neatly according to their classes. The teachers assisted in organising the lines, ensuring that every child could participate in an orderly manner. The cheerful and energetic atmosphere of the morning provided a positive start to the children’s day of learning. During the ceremony, several pupils were given the opportunity to serve as ceremony officials, including the ceremony leader and the reader of the Pancasila text. These roles provided valuable opportunities for the children to develop courage, self-confidence, public speaking skills, and a sense of responsibility in carrying out their assigned duties. Meanwhile, the teachers guided the proceedings and served as ceremony supervisors, ensuring that every stage of the event was conducted in an orderly and respectful manner. The flag ceremony is not only an opportunity for pupils to learn the proper procedures of a national ceremony, but also an effective way to cultivate positive habits. The children learn to arrive on time, follow instructions carefully, maintain appropriate behaviour throughout the ceremony, and show respect to both their teachers and classmates. These values form an essential foundation for the development of strong character that will benefit them in the years ahead. Through the regular organisation of flag ceremonies, Al Siddiq International Kindergarten hopes to nurture discipline, leadership, teamwork, and a strong sense of patriotism from an early age. With the guidance of dedicated teachers and the enthusiastic participation of all pupils, this activity provides a meaningful learning experience that supports children’s social, emotional, and character development.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
