Parents’ Study Session: Walking Through the Stages of Educating Children Based on the Example of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

All praise be to Allah, Masjid Al Siddiq hosted a Parents’ Study Session on Thursday, 4 December 2025. This spiritually enriching gathering was attended by parents of students from kindergarten, primary, and secondary levels, as a collective effort to fulfil the great trust of nurturing the next generation. The session featured two speakers, Ustadzah Dra. Hj. Nani Handayani and Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd., who presented the theme “The Stages of Educating Children: The Example of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).” This theme served as a reminder that educating children in Islam is not merely an academic process, but an act of worship for which parents will be held accountable before Allah, the Most High. In her presentation, Ustadzah Dra. Hj. Nani Handayani emphasised that children are a trust and a blessing from Allah that must be protected, guided, and nurtured with love and compassion. She explained that true education begins at home, through the parents’ own example in character, speech, and daily conduct. The cultivation of faith (tawhid), good manners, and acts of worship from an early age forms the essential foundation for shaping righteous and upright children. Ustadz Abdullah Haris, Lc., M.Pd. then elaborated on the stages of educating children as exemplified by the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). He explained that the Prophet educated with wisdom, gentleness, and mercy, while also instilling discipline and a sense of responsibility. Each stage of a child’s development requires a different educational approach, and parents are therefore encouraged to understand and adapt their methods according to the child’s age and condition. The study session proceeded in an atmosphere of devotion and blessing. Parents participated enthusiastically and made good use of the question-and-answer session to gain deeper insight into the practical application of Islamic parenting in daily life. May Allah, the Exalted, grant guidance and success to all parents in educating their children, so that they may raise a generation that is faithful, knowledgeable, of noble character, and able to embody the exemplary morals of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in all aspects of life. Āmīn, O Lord of all worlds.By Arief Firmansyah, S. Kom

Developing Independence from an Early Age through Life Skills Activities

On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, TK B Al Siddiq carried out a life skills development activity at the Al Siddiq Field. The activity was enthusiastically attended by all TK B pupils. This life skills programme was designed as part of daily learning to help children become accustomed to carrying out simple activities independently within the school environment. The activity began as part of the school’s daily routine, with the children lining up in an orderly manner, followed by circle time for prayers and a brief discussion with the teacher. After that, the children performed Dhuha prayer together and enjoyed snack time. This initial sequence aimed to prepare the children physically and mentally before moving on to the main activity. The primary objective of this life skills development activity was to foster independence in students from an early age. In addition, the activity aimed to cultivate a sense of responsibility for personal belongings, develop fine motor coordination, build self-confidence, and accustom children to following instructions in sequence. The children also learned to be patient while waiting for their turn and to respect their peers. Before the sandal-washing activity began, the children prepared themselves by rolling up their sleeves to their elbows to prevent them from getting wet. They did this independently by unbuttoning their sleeves, in accordance with the methods previously taught by the teacher. This simple activity served as an important exercise to help children become accustomed to taking care of themselves without always relying on adult assistance. Next, the children put on their sandals and walked to the washing area in front of the sinks. In turns, they wet their sandals with water and then scrubbed them using used toothbrushes brought from home. The teachers accompanied the children and provided guidance to ensure the activity was carried out safely and correctly, while still giving the children the opportunity to try on their own. After the sandals were cleaned, the children placed them in the designated area to dry for a short time. The activity concluded with tidying up the surrounding area and a brief reflection session with the teacher. Through this life skills activity, it is hoped that the TK B Al Siddiq children will become increasingly independent, responsible, and develop positive habits that are beneficial in their daily lives.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

An Archery Adventure at the Kempo Field

This archery extracurricular activity was introduced as a programme to help children develop body coordination, concentration, and the ability to follow instructions calmly. The activities were designed to be simple and safe, in line with the needs of kindergarten-aged children. The main focus was not on shooting accuracy, but on the learning process and new experiences that help build children’s confidence. The participants were students of TK Al Siddiq. At this stage of growth and development, children are full of curiosity, making archery an engaging and exciting experience for them. Each step of the activity was carried out with close supervision so that the children felt safe and remained enthusiastic throughout the session. The activity took place at the Kempo field, a spacious and secure area suitable for archery practice. This location allowed children to move freely, warm up, and try archery without disrupting other school activities. The open field also helped children recognise space and maintain safe distances. This extracurricular activity was held on 9 December 2025. The schedule was arranged to align with learning activities so that children would not feel tired and could participate in the session in good condition. With a well-organised timetable, teachers, coaches, and students were able to prepare themselves before the activity began. The objectives of this activity relate to the six areas of child development. In terms of gross motor skills, children learned to move their bodies while holding the bow, drawing the string, and releasing the arrow. Fine motor skills were also developed as they adjusted finger positions and grip. From a cognitive perspective, children learned to understand sequences of steps and safety rules. Language development was supported as children listened to instructions and responded to questions from teachers or coaches. Social development was evident when children waited for their turn and worked in groups. Emotional development emerged as children learned to manage feelings of tension or pride after succeeding. Moral development was reflected in children’s obedience to rules and respect for their friends’ turns. The activity was carried out with a clear and structured flow. The teacher began by explaining what activities would be undertaken and the rules that the children needed to understand. After that, the teacher and students walked to the field using a guiding rope to keep the line orderly and easy to supervise. Upon arrival, they greeted the coach and carried out warm-up exercises together. The coach then divided the children into groups according to their classes. The children took turns trying archery, guided directly by the coach to ensure safety and proper direction. In this way, the archery activity not only trained physical skills but also fostered discipline, courage, and teamwork. It provided a new, enjoyable, and beneficial experience that supported children’s holistic development.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

SMP Al-Siddiq International Holds Computer-Based Test (CBT) for Semester 1 Summative Assessment of the 2025/2026 Academic Year

SMP Al-Siddiq International conducted a Computer-Based Test (CBT) for the Semester 1 Summative Assessment (SAS) of the 2025/2026 Academic Year. The examination took place over five days, from Monday, 8 December to Friday, 12 December 2025, and was carried out in an orderly, safe, and well-structured manner. Each day, the programme began at 7.00 a.m. with Al-Qur’an learning sessions guided by the respective ustadz and ustadzah. This activity served to strengthen students’ character and spirituality before they sat the examinations. The examinations then commenced at 7.45 a.m. and were conducted according to the schedule set by the school. The Semester 1 SAS was implemented using a computer-based examination system, in which students completed the tests using computers provided by the school. The system was supported by the Safe Exam Browser (SEB) application and the school’s Learning Management System (LMS) website, ensuring that the examination process was more controlled and experienced minimal disruption. The use of the CBT system offers several advantages, including enhancing honesty and examination security by restricting access to other applications, speeding up the assessment process, reducing paper usage, and training students to become familiar with digital technology in line with current educational developments. Nevertheless, not all subjects were assessed through computer-based tests. For Cultural Arts, students took part in practical examinations involving drawing and painting directly on paper, allowing creativity and artistic skills to be assessed optimally. Meanwhile, Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) was conducted through direct sports practice, assessing students’ physical abilities, motor skills, and sportsmanship. During the examination period, students were allowed to go home at 1.00 p.m. to ensure they had sufficient rest and could maintain their physical and mental well-being. With effective time management, it is hoped that students could participate in the entire SAS programme optimally. Through the implementation of the Semester 1 CBT SAS, SMP Al-Siddiq International demonstrates its commitment to integrating Islamic values, technology, and educational quality in order to nurture a generation that is morally upright, digitally competent, and ready to face future challenges.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.Kom

Numbers, Puzzles, and Circles: A Fun Assessment Day in TK B Al Siddiq

This mathematics assessment was designed to observe children’s basic understanding of numbers, patterns, sizes, and relationships between objects. The activities focused on abilities appropriate to the developmental stage of kindergarten children, particularly early numeracy skills and shape observation. The assessment was conducted in a simple manner so that the children felt comfortable and were able to demonstrate their abilities naturally. The participants in this activity were the students of TK B Al Siddiq. At this age, children are actively exploring their surroundings, so the assessment was made engaging and easy to follow. Each task was adjusted to suit their individual abilities, both for those who were already confident in counting and for those who still required visual support. The activity took place in the classroom, an environment that was already familiar to the children. This familiar setting helped them remain calm and focused. The classroom also allowed teachers to monitor each child closely and provide support whenever needed. The assessment was conducted on 9 December 2025. The choice of this date was aligned with the learning schedule so as not to disrupt other routines. With a clear timetable, teachers were able to prepare the materials, worksheets, and small-group arrangements to ensure the activity ran smoothly. The objectives of this assessment were linked to six areas of child development. First, cognitive development, including the ability to recognise numbers, distinguish sizes, and understand sequences. Second, fine motor development through activities such as writing numbers, drawing circles, and assembling puzzles. Third, language development, as children needed to understand instructions and, in some cases, explain their answers. Fourth, social development, shown when children waited for their turn and worked in small groups. Fifth, emotional development, which emerged as children learned to manage their confidence and patience. Sixth, moral development, reflected in orderly behaviour, taking turns, and completing tasks honestly. The assessment was carried out in stages. Teachers began by demonstrating how to complete the worksheets so that the children had a clear understanding of the tasks. While waiting to be called, the children worked on worksheets that included practising writing numbers from 1 to 20 and drawing circles according to the specified quantities. Every three children were then called to take part in the core assessment, which involved assembling puzzles and arranging objects from the smallest to the largest. This approach enabled teachers to observe each child’s abilities more closely without making them feel rushed. With this approach, the assessment was not merely an evaluation, but also an opportunity for children to learn and demonstrate their abilities in a positive and well-structured environment.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Implementation of the Munaqosyah Hifzhul Qur’an at SMP Al-Siddiq International

SMP Al-Siddiq International once again held the Munaqosyah Hifzhul Qur’an as part of its character-building programme and the strengthening of Qur’anic values for all students. This activity took place in the School Library from 24 to 28 November 2025, in an atmosphere that was solemn, orderly, and filled with enthusiasm from the participants. Over the five-day period, students attended the munaqosyah in turns to have their Qur’an memorisation assessed directly. They recited in front of Qur’an teachers who served as examiners, applying strict and professional assessment standards. The panel of examiners was led by Ust. Ahmad Toha, M.Ag., and included Ust. Abdul Aziz, S.Pd., Ustadzah Retno Suzanne Handayani, Lc., Ustadzah Mila Febri Wahyuni, Lc., and Ustadzah Diah Santikawati, S.Pd. The examiners assessed not only the accuracy of memorisation but also the fluency of recitation, correctness of tajwid, proper application of elongation (mad), and makharij al-huruf (points of articulation). In this way, participants were required to demonstrate not only their ability to memorise but also the quality of their Qur’anic recitation in accordance with correct principles. This munaqosyah reflects SMP Al-Siddiq International’s commitment to creating an educational environment closely connected to the teachings of the Holy Qur’an. Through this activity, the school hopes that students will not only memorise the Qur’an, but also love and practise its teachings in their daily lives. This annual programme also serves as a moment of evaluation and motivation for students to enhance their memorisation and improve the quality of their recitation. With the support of competent Qur’an teachers, SMP Al-Siddiq International continues its efforts to nurture a young generation that is intelligent, well-mannered, and imbued with Qur’anic values.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.kom
