In an effort to improve the quality of teaching and strengthen educators’ competencies, Al Siddiq Secondary School conducted a teacher supervision programme from 28th to 30th April. This activity was led directly by the Headteacher, Amaldzikrullah, M.Pd., as part of the school’s commitment to maintaining sustainable educational quality. The supervision was carried out through direct classroom observations during the teaching and learning process. The main focus of this activity was the reinforcement of language-based learning, particularly the use of English and Arabic in classroom instruction, in line with the school’s vision of nurturing a generation that is accomplished, religious, and globally minded. In its implementation, teachers had thoroughly prepared their teaching resources, including teaching modules, lesson plans, annual programmes (Prota), and semester programmes (Promes), as essential instruments supporting effective learning. In addition, the use of relevant teaching aids formed part of the effort to create more engaging and easily understood lessons for students. Well-prepared learning materials are a fundamental requirement in the teaching process, ensuring that lessons are delivered in a structured, purposeful, and systematic manner. With careful planning, learning content can be conveyed more effectively, making it easier for students to understand and master the material. Teachers’ ability to design and implement learning also plays a crucial role in accurately assessing students’ progress. This enables teachers to adopt teaching approaches that suit students’ needs, thereby encouraging the development of high-achieving learners. Beyond observation, the supervision programme also included discussion and reflection sessions between the Headteacher and the teachers. During these sessions, teachers received constructive feedback on teaching strategies, classroom management, and the integration of Islamic values into every lesson delivered. This supervision activity is a routine annual programme aimed at continuously enhancing teachers’ competencies. Through structured guidance, it is expected that teachers will continue to develop and deliver learning that is active, communicative, and meaningful.

What Do We Need When It Rains? Making a 3D Origami Umbrella

An art lesson for TK B (Kindergarten B) at Al Siddiq International was conducted on Wednesday, 29th April 2026 in the classroom. The activity involved all TK B pupils in a calm yet enjoyable atmosphere. The teacher prepared an activity that not only encouraged creativity but also developed essential basic skills for children’s growth. This activity aimed to train children’s concentration in following instructions and to develop fine motor skills through paper-folding tasks. Using origami, the children were guided to create a simple 3D umbrella. The activity was designed to help them focus on each step while improving hand–eye coordination. The lesson began with the teacher inviting the children to recall their previous topic on weather. From the various types of weather they had learned, the discussion was then directed towards rainy weather. The children were encouraged to think together about what is needed when it rains, eventually identifying an umbrella as one of the essential items. After that, the children began making umbrellas using origami paper. They were given the freedom to choose colours according to their preferences, resulting in unique creations. Working in small groups, the children followed the teacher’s step-by-step instructions to fold the origami into 3D umbrella shapes. Once the umbrellas were completed, the children continued the activity by attaching their origami creations onto drawing paper that they had previously prepared with a rainy-day theme. This activity helped them connect their artwork with the concepts they had learned, while also providing space to express their imagination. Through this lesson, the children not only learned to create artwork but also developed patience, the ability to follow instructions, and teamwork skills. The supportive classroom environment boosted their confidence in creating, making the learning process both enjoyable and meaningful.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd

This programme reflects the school’s commitment to nurturing a generation that excels not only academically but also possesses a strong foundation of faith and Qur’anic character.

This programme is expected to inspire students to compete in memorising the Qur’an and to continuously improve the quality of their memorisation. With clear targets and structured evaluation, students become more motivated to complete their memorisation effectively. Passing the munaqasyah is a key requirement for students to receive a juz certificate from the school, as a form of appreciation for their achievement, discipline, and success in completing their Qur’anic memorisation. In this month’s implementation, a total of 18 students participated in the munaqasyah examination, consisting of: 5 students taking the Juz 27 memorisation test10 students taking the Juz 30 memorisation test3 students taking the Juz 29 memorisation test All participants were directly assessed by a panel of examiners comprising qualified Qur’an teachers from Al Siddiq Junior High School, who are experienced in tahfizh and tahsin.

Do We Need an Umbrella to Learn Addition?

A mathematics lesson for TK B (Kindergarten B) at Al Siddiq International was conducted on Tuesday, 28th April 2026 in the classroom. The activity was attended by all TK B pupils in an active and enjoyable atmosphere. From the very beginning, the teacher had prepared learning aids to help the children understand the material in a more concrete and accessible way. The main objective of this lesson was to introduce the concepts of sequential counting and simple arithmetic addition. This material serves as an important foundation for children as preparation before entering primary school. With an age-appropriate approach, the children were expected not only to memorise numbers but also to understand their meaning. The activity began with a group game involving direct interaction. The teacher invited the children to stick pictures of raindrops onto an umbrella that had been prepared. Each child was asked to attach a number of raindrops according to the teacher’s instructions, allowing them to learn counting step by step while playing. Through this activity, the children appeared enthusiastic and found it easier to understand the concept of sequential counting. They also learned to cooperate with their group members, take turns, and follow instructions properly. The teacher provided guidance gradually so that each child could participate without feeling rushed. After the game, the activity continued with completing worksheets on single-digit addition. This exercise helped the children strengthen their understanding of simple addition. By combining play-based learning with written practice, the lesson became more balanced and effective in supporting the development of the children’s numeracy skills.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd
