The Pre-Tasmi activity is an important component of the Qur’an learning programme at Al Siddiq International Kindergarten. It is designed as a preparatory stage before children take part in the actual tasmi and munaqosyah. Through Pre-Tasmi, teachers are able to assess children’s readiness in memorisation while also providing them with an initial experience in a more structured assessment setting. This activity was attended by pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten who had reached the qualification of memorising Juz 30, starting from Surah An-Nas to Al-Muthaffifin. Each child participating in the Pre-Tasmi had undergone a gradual process of learning and revision (murojaah), equipping them with sufficient memorisation to present before the examiner. The Pre-Tasmi was conducted in a specially prepared tasmi room to ensure a conducive and focused atmosphere. With a calm and well-organised setting, children were able to concentrate better when reciting their memorisation. This supportive environment also helped them feel more confident and comfortable throughout the activity. The activity took place over four days, from Monday to Thursday, 6th to 9th April 2026. Each day, children followed a predetermined schedule, ensuring that the process ran smoothly and that every participant was given an equal opportunity to perform. The purpose of the Pre-Tasmi activity is to familiarise children with performing in front of others while demonstrating the extent of their memorisation ability. In addition, it serves as an initial evaluation tool for teachers to determine children’s readiness before they undertake the actual tasmi and munaqosyah. Through this activity, children are trained to build confidence and reduce nervousness when performing. In its implementation, teachers arranged a structured Pre-Tasmi schedule for each child. Every pupil was assigned different surah limits according to their memorisation ability and was assessed by different examiners. This system supports a more objective and comprehensive evaluation. With a well-planned approach, the Pre-Tasmi activity is expected to run smoothly and provide a meaningful learning experience for every child.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

The Mid-Semester Assessment is a periodic evaluation activity conducted to observe children’s learning development. This activity plays an important role in the educational process, particularly at the kindergarten level, as it helps teachers understand how far children’s abilities have progressed after participating in learning over a period of time. This Mid-Semester Assessment was attended by all pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten. Each child participated according to their individual abilities and developmental stage. Teachers acted as facilitators, providing guidance while creating a comfortable atmosphere so that children felt happy throughout the assessment process. The assessment was carried out in the classroom, allowing children to remain in a familiar and secure environment. A well-known classroom setting helped the children feel more confident in taking part in each assessment activity. In addition, the classroom arrangement was adapted to support the various activities conducted during the assessment. The Mid-Semester Assessment was conducted over five days, from Monday to Friday, 6th to 10th April 2026. Each day, children took part in scheduled assessment activities, ensuring that all areas of learning were covered in a balanced way without causing the children to feel overwhelmed. The purpose of this quarterly assessment is to monitor students’ development across six key areas: religious and moral values, social-emotional development, language, cognitive skills, physical-motor development, and the arts. Through this assessment, teachers are able to identify each child’s strengths and needs, enabling them to provide appropriate stimulation to support optimal growth and development. The assessment was implemented using a variety of enjoyable methods aligned with children’s world of learning. Each day, the children engaged in different subjects such as literacy, science, mathematics, art, physical education, ICT, the Qur’an, and Arabic. The forms of assessment also varied, ranging from answering simple questions and completing worksheets to producing creative work such as drawings or small projects. In this way, children continued to feel as though they were playing while learning, ensuring that the assessment process remained smooth, meaningful, and enjoyable.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

This activity forms part of the school’s additional learning programmes, designed to provide children with a new and enjoyable introduction to basketball. In an active and interactive atmosphere, children were encouraged to move, play, and learn simultaneously.

The open and comfortable environment allowed them to engage more confidently in physical activities and interact with their peers. The objectives of this basketball enrichment activity encompass six areas of child development.

Cognitively, they learned to understand simple instructions, recognise directions, and grasp basic game strategies. In terms of language development, children were encouraged to understand and follow instructions, as well as communicate with peers and teachers throughout the activity. From a social and emotional perspective, the activity helped children learn cooperation, patience in taking turns, and emotional regulation during play. In terms of religious and moral values, children were guided to practise honesty, discipline, and sportsmanship. Meanwhile, from an artistic perspective, children were able to express themselves through creative and rhythmic body movements while playing basketball. The series of activities began with a morning line-up and circle time to build readiness. This was followed by performing the Duha prayer together to instil spiritual values. The programme then continued with the basketball enrichment session, where children were introduced to basic techniques in a simple and enjoyable manner. After exercising, the children enjoyed snack time to restore their energy, followed by murojaah (Qur’an recitation review), before preparing to return home. Through this activity, it is hoped that children will not only gain physical benefits but also develop holistically across various aspects. The basketball enrichment programme serves as both an enjoyable and meaningful learning experience, helping children grow into healthy, active, and confident individuals.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

The activity took place in the kindergarten classrooms and around the Al Siddiq International School area.

In addition, the presentation of Ramadan competition prizes served as a form of appreciation for the students who had enthusiastically participated in various competitions throughout the month of Ramadan. After the communal iftar programme had concluded and the parents had taken their leave, the children continued the mabit activities by performing the Tarawih prayer in congregation at the school. Afterwards, before bedtime, the children were allowed to enjoy additional snacks that they had brought from home. This moment made the atmosphere even warmer and more enjoyable, as the children shared stories and spent time together with their classmates. As bedtime approached, the children prepared themselves by brushing their teeth and changing into their nightwear. They then recited the bedtime prayer together. Some classes also held a short bedtime storytelling session led by the teachers, allowing the children to rest calmly and comfortably. The night was then spent resting until it was time to wake up for sahur. At 3.30 a.m., the children were awakened to prepare for sahur. They were encouraged to use the bathroom and wash their faces so they could feel refreshed before having the pre-dawn meal together. The sahur session lasted until 4.30 a.m. Afterwards, the children tidied up their bedding before preparing to perform the Fajr prayer in congregation. After the Fajr prayer, the children brushed their teeth again and continued the morning activities with light exercises in the school area. This activity was intended to refresh their bodies after waking up early and to create a cheerful atmosphere. The programme then continued with the presentation of prizes for the Ramadan competitions to the participating students.
