The First Experience of Al Siddiq Kindergarten Children Eating Mung Bean Porridge

/

The activity of eating mung bean porridge was carried out as part of a series of Project Based Learning activities that had been conducted previously. This activity was attended by the children of Al Siddiq Kindergarten and took place on Thursday, 22 January 2026. The session was held in the Ummu Kultsum classroom in a warm and enjoyable atmosphere. Through this activity, the children were introduced to mung beans not only as plants that they had planted and observed as they grew, but also as a food ingredient that can be processed and consumed. The children learned that plants which grow well can provide benefits in everyday life. This helped them understand the connection between the planting process and the results that can be utilised. The purpose of the mung bean porridge eating activity was to provide young children with direct experience in recognising the taste, texture, and aroma of foods made from mung beans. The children were encouraged to be brave in trying new foods, especially those who had never tasted mung bean porridge before. This activity also instilled the habit of eating together in an orderly manner and with a sense of gratitude. The activity began with the teacher opening the class with a simple explanation about the parts of the mung bean plant, such as the roots, stem, and leaves. This explanation served as reinforcement of the planting and observation activities that had been carried out previously. The children listened enthusiastically and recalled their experiences while caring for the mung bean plants. After that, the teacher distributed the mung bean porridge to the children one by one. The children then recited a prayer before eating together. The classroom felt warm as the children enjoyed the mung bean porridge. Some children ate eagerly, while others tried it slowly, as this was their first experience eating mung bean porridge. Through this activity, the children not only learned about healthy food, but also learned to be grateful, to share, and to appreciate the process. The mung bean porridge activity became a meaningful closing to the Project Based Learning series, as the children were able to experience the learning outcomes from beginning to end in a simple and enjoyable way.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Planting, Observing, and Learning: Project-Based Learning with Mung Beans at Al Siddiq Kindergarten

/

The Project-Based Learning activity of planting mung beans was carried out by students at Al Siddiq Kindergarten as part of a thematic learning programme that is both enjoyable and meaningful. The activity took place over one week, from Monday to Friday, 19–23 January 2026. All activities were conducted in each classroom with the guidance and support of teachers. Through this activity, children were introduced to the process of planting and caring for plants from an early age. They did not only observe the final results but were actively involved in every stage. Children learned that plants require attention, time, and proper care in order to grow well. This activity helps cultivate a sense of responsibility and care for their surrounding environment. The main objective of this activity was to provide young children with real, hands-on learning experiences. Children were trained to observe, compare, and analyse the differences in the growth of mung bean plants placed in a dark location, indoors with sunlight exposure, and outdoors under direct sunlight. From this activity, children could understand in a simple way that light and the environment significantly affect plant growth. On Monday, 19 January 2026, the activity began with watching a video together in the Zainab classroom about a mung bean seed experiment. After this, the children started planting the mung beans step by step under the teacher’s guidance. They prepared plastic cups, neatly arranged cotton, sprinkled the mung bean seeds on top of the cotton, and poured water until the cotton became wet. This process trained children’s fine motor skills as well as their ability to follow instructions in order. From Tuesday to Friday, 20–23 January 2026, the children regularly watered the mung bean seeds by dripping water using pipettes. In addition to watering, the children were encouraged to record and draw the growth of the mung bean plants in the books provided. This activity developed patience, attention to detail, and the children’s ability to observe changes day by day. The culmination of the project took place on Friday, 23 January 2026. The children, together with their teachers, observed the differences in the growth of the mung beans under the three different treatments. They engaged in simple discussions about which plants grew tallest, were the greenest, and the strongest. Through this activity, children learned to express their opinions, listen to their peers, and draw simple conclusions from their own observations.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
