This Physical Education lesson was designed to train focus, agility, and the ability to follow instructions. The activities were kept simple yet engaging so that the children could move actively without feeling overwhelmed. These exercises provided opportunities for the children to play while learning to control their body movements. The participants were Kindergarten B pupils of Al Siddiq. Children at this age are energetic and enjoy small physical challenges, making games that involve quick movements and responsive actions highly suitable for them. With the right guidance, activities like these help them develop essential foundational skills. The activity took place at the Al Siddiq International indoor court on 5 December 2025. The spacious and safe area offered plenty of room for the children to move freely, jog, and respond to instructions without the risk of bumping into one another. The indoor setting also made the activities comfortable regardless of weather changes. The objectives of this activity were related to six aspects of child development. From the gross motor aspect, the children learned to run, bend, and move quickly while following instructions. From the fine-motor aspect, they learned to control hand movements when picking up the ball. From the cognitive aspect, they practised sorting instructions, remembering sequences, and responding quickly. From the social aspect, they worked in groups and learned to wait for their turn. Their language skills improved as they listened to and understood the teacher’s commands. From the emotional and moral aspects, the children learned to manage their excitement, respect the rules, and keep the game fair and sportive. The session began with a focus and agility game. The teacher divided the children into two groups and prepared cones with tennis balls placed on top. The teacher gave instructions such as “touch your head”, “touch your shoulders”, “touch your feet”, and “take the ball”. The children had to listen attentively and move according to the cues. This activity trained them to focus on listening, avoid guessing movements, and follow instructions all the way through. With a simple yet structured flow, this Physical Education lesson became an opportunity for the children to stay active while learning focus, discipline, and teamwork. The children not only enjoyed the game, but also developed in various areas essential for their age.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

This Art & Creativity lesson combined artistic activities with learning about road safety when crossing the street. The children were not only creating artwork, but also understanding real-life situations that are familiar to them. In this way, art becomes a medium for learning important skills for everyday life. The participants of this activity were Kindergarten B pupils from Al Siddiq. At this developmental stage, they are imaginative and quick to absorb new information. Therefore, art activities connected to daily experiences help them link what they see, hear, and do. The activity took place in the classroom on 5 December 2025. The familiar environment made the children feel more comfortable exploring. A safe and well-organised space also made it easier for the teacher to prepare materials, play videos, and guide the children during the process of creating miniatures. The objectives of this activity were related to six developmental aspects. From the cognitive aspect, the children learned to compare safe and unsafe behaviours when crossing, and to identify important components such as zebra crossings and traffic lights. From the language aspect, they expressed their opinions, answered questions, and described differences shown in the videos. From the fine-motor aspect, they practised cutting, sticking, and assembling miniature pedestrian lights. From the social aspect, the children learned to discuss and work together with their friends. From the emotional aspect, they developed confidence when sharing their answers. From the moral aspect, they understood essential safety rules and learned how to apply them. The activity began with a trigger question from the teacher: “How should we cross the road?”. This question helped the children recall their own experiences. After that, the teacher played two videos showing responsible and careless behaviours when crossing the street. The children were asked to mention the differences. The teacher then invited them to name the components that must be considered when crossing, such as zebra crossings and pedestrian lights. To conclude, the teacher and children created 3D miniature pedestrian lights. This activity allowed the children to express their understanding through an art project. With this approach, the Art & Creativity lesson became a fun and meaningful experience. The children not only created something interesting, but also learned to understand their environment and how to keep themselves safe.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

On Friday, 28 November 2025, the Kindergarten B pupils of Al Siddiq took part in an Arabic lesson on the theme of natural elements. The activity was held in the classroom in a relaxed and warm atmosphere. The children appeared curious because the material presented was different from their usual lessons. They were learning not only to memorise vocabulary, but also to understand its meaning through examples close to their daily lives. The teacher began the lesson by introducing four elements: water, earth, fire, and air. Each word was presented together with visual or real-life examples to help the children understand more easily. For instance, the element of water was explained using examples such as the sea and the river. The earth element was introduced through mountains and the forest area in the school yard. Fire was explained through the sun and lava, while air was illustrated through the wind and tornadoes. These explanations enabled the children to grasp the meaning of each element more quickly. The purpose of learning natural elements in Arabic was to help the children gain meaningful and relevant new vocabulary. By connecting the words to real objects, the learning process became more engaging and memorable. In addition, simple Arabic conversations helped build their confidence in speaking. The children were not only learning the vocabulary, but also how to use it. This learning approach strengthened their self-confidence as they tried to explain something in another language. After understanding the meanings and examples, the teacher began teaching how to describe these elements in Arabic. The teacher recited simple sentences, and the children repeated them together. This moment was always full of enthusiasm as the children eagerly competed to pronounce the words correctly. Once all the pupils were considered confident, the teacher invited them to come to the front of the class. One by one, the children mentioned the natural elements in Arabic and explained them in simple sentences. Some children appeared nervous, but with the teacher’s support, they began to speak bravely. This activity concluded the lesson in a joyful way. The children went home with a new experience—realising that learning a language does not have to be difficult, as long as it is taught in a way that connects with their world.By Inka Amalia, S. Pd
