Measuring Clarity: Al-Siddiq International Middle School Students Learn Water pH Testing During ESNO 2025

/

The morning air in the main hall of Pondok Pesantren Umar Bin Khottob Plus, Gunung Malang, still carried the chill of the highlands. At exactly 7:30 a.m., dozens of students from Al-Siddiq International Middle School sat in a semicircle, each holding a bottle filled with water collected from Mata Air Ciburial—a spring they confidently described as clearer than branded bottled water. Amid the bustle of the Educational Students Night Out (ESNO) 2025, science class took an unusual shape. Instead of desks and whiteboards, students attended a presentation on water pH testing delivered by their Science teacher, Mr. Muhammad Fathul Ihsan, M.Res. With a calm but firm tone, he began with a disarming question: “If water looks clear, does that always mean it’s safe?” A low murmur swept across the room—curiosity awakened. Mr. Ihsan explained the fundamentals of pH, how acidity and alkalinity determine water’s potability, and how natural springs can still carry unseen contaminants. He demonstrated color changes in pH indicators, weaving scientific principles with everyday examples. The session was concise, visual, and sharply focused—Tempo-style clarity in a classroom setting. Holding up the Ciburial sample, he reminded them, “Clarity doesn’t guarantee purity. Science helps us see what the eye cannot.” Students inspected their water samples—comparing clarity, hue, and scent—turning the hall into an impromptu open-air laboratory. Although full testing would take place once they returned from ESNO, excitement was already visible. Each student would later conduct their own pH measurement back at school, using universal indicators or simple pH meters. The follow-up activity was designed not just for observation, but for students to experience the scientific process firsthand. Outside the hall, the noise of ESNO continued. Inside, attention remained fixed on a bottle of mountain spring water, a pH indicator, and a curiosity sharpened by real-world exploration.By Umair Shoddiq, S.I.Kom

Small, Medium, Large! TK B Pupils Learn to Sequence with Joy

/

On Tuesday, 11 November 2025, the children of TK B at Al Siddiq International took part in a simple yet highly meaningful learning activity: arranging objects from smallest to largest. The activity took place in the Science and Maths classroom, which had been set up with a cheerful atmosphere and engaging visual aids. Although it may have looked like an ordinary game, this activity was designed to build the foundation of logical thinking, mathematics, and cognitive skills for young children. The main purpose of the activity was to introduce the concepts of sequencing, size, and comparing objects based on specific characteristics—in this case, size. For kindergarten pupils, the ability to sequence is an important part of developing logical thinking and problem-solving skills. The children learned that objects can be classified and arranged, and that everything has patterns and structure. This serves as a foundation for more complex mathematical understanding in the future. During the session, the teacher began by observing the children’s ability to add and count using LEGO blocks. This was intended to gauge their basic understanding of numbers and quantities. Meanwhile, while waiting for their turn, the children worked on an equally exciting worksheet prepared by the teacher: sequencing pictures of objects from small to large. Excitedly, the children picked up each picture—ranging from cars to syringes—and tried to arrange them in the correct order. Some understood straight away, while others engaged in small discussions with friends or asked the teacher for guidance. This activity also strengthened their social skills, such as cooperation, taking turns, and expressing their opinions confidently. The activity concluded with a brief reflection led by the teacher, who praised the children for their efforts and summarised the benefits of what they had learned. The children looked proud of their work, and the classroom atmosphere was filled with the spirit of learning. Through simple yet meaningful activities like this, TK B Al Siddiq International continues to build strong foundations for children’s thinking and learning in an enjoyable and meaningful way.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

On Tuesday, 11 November 2025, SD Al Siddiq International carried out a Project-Based Learning (PJBL) activity to commemorate Hero’s Day, which is observed annually on 10 November. The activity was designed to instil the values of patriotism and to help students better understand the struggles of the nation’s heroes through enjoyable and creative tasks. All students from Year 1 to Year 6 took part in this programme. Through the PJBL approach, students not only received information but also engaged actively in a process of creating work that reflected their understanding of heroic values. This served as an opportunity for the school to strengthen students’ character through project-based learning. For students in Years 3 to 6, the activity focused on a project to draw national heroes. They were given the opportunity to choose their favourite hero, such as Cut Nyak Dien, R.A. Kartini, General Sudirman, Bung Tomo, and others. After learning more about their chosen figure, students expressed their inspiration by creating artwork that depicted the heroic character of the hero. Meanwhile, students in Years 1 and 2 took part in colouring and decorating hero-themed pictures. This activity was adapted to the developmental abilities of younger children, allowing them to express their creativity through bright colours, stickers, glitter, and other decorative elements. Teachers also shared short stories about the heroes they were colouring, enabling the activity to build basic historical knowledge in an engaging way. The Hero’s Day PJBL activity was carried out with great enthusiasm. Classrooms and school areas were filled with lively scenes of students working diligently, discussing with teachers, and striving to produce their best work. The students’ creations were then displayed around the school as a form of appreciation and as inspiration for the wider school community. Through this activity, SD Al Siddiq International hopes to instil the values of heroism and a love for the nation from an early age. By getting to know heroic figures through visual art, students are expected to emulate qualities such as courage, discipline, selflessness, and determination in their daily lives. This activity stands as clear evidence that learning can be meaningful, enjoyable, and rich in character values.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd

How Exciting—Eggs Can Sink, Float in the Middle, and Rise to the Surface!

/

On Monday and Tuesday, 3–4 November 2025, the TK B pupils of Al Siddiq International took part in an exciting activity in their science class: an experiment investigating how eggs can sink, float in the middle, or rise to the surface. This activity was specially designed to introduce simple science concepts through hands-on experiences that are enjoyable and easy for young children to understand. The experiment was guided directly by the class teachers. The activity began with an introduction, during which the teacher greeted the children and explained that they would be conducting a fun experiment using water, salt, and eggs. The children looked enthusiastic and curious, as this was a brand-new experience for them. Step by step, the teacher demonstrated the experiment process. Three glasses were prepared, each filled with water and a different amount of salt: one with a small amount of salt, one with a moderate amount, and another with a large amount. After that, an egg was placed into each glass one by one. The results amazed the children. The egg in the glass with a small amount of salt sank to the bottom. The egg in the glass with a moderate amount of salt floated in the middle of the water, while the egg in the glass with a high amount of salt rose to the surface. This became an exciting moment that sparked the children’s curiosity about how water and salt can affect objects placed in it. The aim of this experiment was to introduce basic scientific concepts such as density and buoyancy in a concrete and enjoyable way. Through this activity, the children learned that objects may sink or float depending on the density of the liquid surrounding them. They also practised observing, comparing, and drawing simple conclusions from the results. This activity not only enriched the children’s scientific knowledge but also helped develop critical thinking, teamwork, and communication skills. Through active learning methods like this, the children do not simply learn theories—they directly experience how science works in the real world, in ways appropriate for their age and stage of development.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
