Living or Non-Living? Let’s Find Out!

On Monday, 6 October 2025, the children of TK B at Al Siddiq International School took part in a Living Things and Non-Living Things classification activity during their Literacy class. This activity was part of the ongoing thematic learning programme, designed to introduce basic scientific concepts to young learners through enjoyable and practical experiences. The activity was conducted in a simple yet meaningful way. The children were given several printed pictures featuring living things, such as animals and plants, as well as non-living things, such as cars, stones, and balls. Using scissors, the children were asked to cut out the pictures and then stick them onto a large sheet of card that had been divided into two columns: Living Things and Non-Living Things. The aim of this activity was to train logical thinking and categorisation skills from an early age. The children learned to distinguish the characteristics of living things—such as being able to move, grow, and need food—from non-living things that do not share those traits. The cutting and sticking process also helped develop their fine motor skills, concentration, and observation of the world around them. This classification activity also served as a bridge between science and literacy learning. As the children named each object they pasted, they expanded their vocabulary and deepened their understanding of the concepts. The teacher guided light discussions, such as “Why is a cat a living thing?” or “Why can’t a table grow?”, to stimulate curiosity and critical thinking skills. Through this activity, learning became both fun and meaningful. The children were not just sitting and listening but actively engaging—moving, choosing, cutting, and sticking—while understanding important everyday concepts. With this kind of approach, scientific knowledge is introduced from an early age in a joyful and memorable way.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Their leadership ensured that every component and criterion required for accreditation was carefully reviewed and completed in pursuit of the highest possible score. The accreditation team consisted of Mr. Lukman Nurhakim, S.Pd., M.Pd. and Mrs. Lilis Sumarni, S.Pd., M.Pd., who visited the school as assessors, accompanied by Mr. Abdurrahman Arif, S.Pd., M.Pd., the official supervisor from the Bekasi City Department of Education.

Creativity and Science Meet in Kindergarten Art Class

On Monday, 6 October 2025, the children of TK A at Al Siddiq International School took part in an enjoyable art activity during their Art & Creativity class. This activity was part of the ongoing thematic learning programme, focusing on the theme Living Things & Non-Living Things. Through a creative approach, the children were encouraged to explore and understand living things in a fun and interactive way. One of the activities carried out was creating an art piece in the shape of a tree. The children began by drawing the tree trunk using brown crayons on paper. They then continued by making the leaves using a stamping technique. The materials used for stamping were quite unique—foam, bubble wrap, and cotton buds. Each tool produced a different texture, resulting in visually interesting effects on their tree leaves. This activity was not only aimed at developing the children’s creativity but also at improving their fine motor skills. By holding crayons, pressing foam, and stamping cotton buds onto paper, the children learned to control their hand movements while recognising shapes and patterns. They also explored colour mixing and expressed their imagination through concrete visual creations. In addition to fostering motor and creative skills, this activity also supported the children’s understanding of the concept of living and non-living things. By making a picture of a tree—one example of a living thing—the children were able to better grasp its characteristics, such as having parts (trunk and leaves), growing, and needing water and sunlight. This served as a bridge between science and art lessons, combining the two in an engaging and enjoyable way. Overall, the stamping activity in the Art & Creativity class provided a rich and meaningful learning experience for the TK A children. They not only learned about trees as living things but also experienced the joy of creating through artistic expression. With this play-based learning approach, lessons became more lively, engaging, and memorable for the children.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Report Cards: Not Just Numbers, but Self-Reflection and Growth

Friday, 10 October 2025, was a meaningful day for the students of Al Siddiq International Secondary School. On this day, the school held its Mid-Semester Report (STS) distribution, marking the end of one phase of learning and the beginning of self-evaluation. The morning atmosphere at school felt different—filled with enthusiasm, curiosity, and hope. Every student arrived with excitement, eager to see the results of their efforts throughout the first half of the semester. However, for Al Siddiq, a report card is not merely a sheet of numbers that display academic scores. More than that, it is a mirror reflecting a student’s learning journey. It serves as a tool for students, teachers, and parents to see how much potential has been realised, and where there is still room for improvement. In their remarks, teachers emphasised that grades are not the ultimate goal but signposts on the path towards becoming better individuals. Each student was encouraged to view their report card as a means of self-reflection. The numbers written are simply the result of effort, while what truly matters is how the students understand and appreciate the learning process behind them. For those with good results, it is a trust to be maintained; for those whose results are not yet optimal, it is an opportunity to grow and improve. This attitude aligns with Islamic values that emphasise muhasabah—self-reflection—as a means towards self-betterment. Teachers also encouraged students not to dwell on satisfaction or disappointment, but to use their report cards as material for evaluation in preparation for the upcoming Final Semester Examinations (UAS). With renewed determination and enthusiasm for learning, every student is expected to enhance their achievements—not only academically but also in character, discipline, and responsibility. True learning is a continuous process that weaves together effort, prayer, and self-evaluation. Through this report distribution moment, Al Siddiq International Secondary School aims to instil the message that education is not about who is the smartest, but who strives the most to improve themselves. A report card is merely a measuring tool, while true value lies in one’s attitude and spirit to keep learning. With this awareness, it is hoped that all students will step forward towards the Final Examinations with greater maturity, stronger determination, and a purer intention.By Khalid Abdullah, Lc

Fostering Gratitude and Compassion Through the Second Friday Sharing

Al Siddiq International Primary School once again held its Friday Sharing activity for the second time in the first semester of the 2025/2026 academic year. This positive school tradition took place on Friday, 3 October 2025, with the aim of instilling the spirit of sharing, social awareness, and gratitude among students. In this Friday Sharing event, each student brought food from home to share with their classmates and other members of the school community. From early morning, the school atmosphere was lively and filled with joy. The children exchanged food, visited other classes, and shared with teachers and school staff. This moment became a valuable experience in strengthening the sense of togetherness within the school environment. This simple act of sharing food taught the children the meaning of giving sincerely and spreading happiness without discrimination. For some students, it was also an opportunity to express creativity in preparing their meals and to build confidence in interacting with different members of the school community. Teachers attentively accompanied the students throughout the activity, ensuring it ran smoothly, safely, and meaningfully. They also reminded the children that sharing is not only about material things, but also about sincerity and empathy towards others. Through the monthly Friday Sharing programme, Al Siddiq International Primary School strives to nurture students who are generous, noble in character, and have a strong sense of cooperation. This simple yet meaningful activity reflects the school’s continuous effort to cultivate character education values, helping each student grow into a caring, humble, and grateful individual in their daily life.

Project-Based Learning (PJBL) Activity: “Maket House” at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten

The Project-Based Learning (PJBL) activity entitled “Maket House” was carried out by the children of TK A and TK B Al Siddiq International from Tuesday to Friday, 30 September – 1 October 2025. The activity took place in each classroom as part of thematic learning under the topic “My Environment”. Through the PJBL approach, the children were encouraged to learn actively and meaningfully by creating simple house models that reflected their understanding of their living environment. The main objective of this activity was to help children develop an understanding of the elements found in their surroundings, such as houses, fences, roads, trees, and yards. In addition, the activity aimed to enhance fine motor skills, cooperation, communication, and creativity as the children designed and decorated their own house models. By directly handling various materials and tools, they were able to learn in a fun, explorative, and practical way. For the TK B group, the project began on Tuesday with making houses, windows, and doors using recycled materials and craft tools. On Wednesday, they continued by creating roofs, fences, and trees. Thursday was dedicated to making roads and arranging the layout of the houses on cardboard as the base of the model. Friday served as the finishing day, where the children presented their completed projects to their teachers and classmates. Meanwhile, the TK A group started their project on Tuesday by making house walls using ice cream sticks assembled together. On Wednesday, they continued with the construction of simple roofs. On Thursday, the children added fences and grass decorations to beautify their models. Like the TK B group, Friday was dedicated to completing and presenting their finished work. The “Maket House” PJBL activity provided a joyful and meaningful learning experience for the children. They not only learned to recognise parts of a house and their surrounding environment but were also trained to think creatively, solve problems, and collaborate in groups. By engaging cognitive, socio-emotional, and motor aspects, this PJBL activity became an essential part of supporting the holistic development of early childhood learners at TK Al Siddiq International.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
