On Thursday, 15 January 2026, the children of TK Al Siddiq International took part in a film-viewing activity about the event of Isra Mi’raj of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). This activity was carried out as part of religious learning, designed in a fun and age-appropriate way for kindergarten students. The day began as usual. The children arrived at school enthusiastically and then lined up together. Afterwards, they joined a circle time session for prayers and light conversation with their teachers. The activities continued with the Dhuha prayer together, followed by snack time to ensure the children remained comfortable and ready for the next activity. After completing the initial activities, the children were invited to go to Zainab Class. In the classroom, they watched a film about the story of Isra Mi’raj using a smart board provided by the government. The film was presented with engaging visuals and storytelling to help the children easily understand the journey of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) when he received the command to perform the prayers. The purpose of this activity was to introduce and remind children of the story of Isra Mi’raj of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) from an early age. In addition, the teachers explained that the following day, Friday, 16 January, would be commemorated as Isra Mi’raj Day. Through this, the children were expected to begin recognising important days in Islam and their meanings in a simple way. After watching the film, the children participated in a light question-and-answer quiz. The teachers asked questions related to the story they had just watched to see how well the children remembered and understood the story of Isra Mi’raj. The children were very enthusiastic in answering the questions in their own words. The activity then concluded in an orderly manner. The children returned to their respective classrooms under the guidance of their teachers. Through this activity, it is hoped that the children not only gained religious knowledge, but also learned to focus, listen to stories, and confidently express their opinions.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

Drawing and storytelling activities about holidays were carried out with the children of Al Siddiq Kindergarten from Monday to Tuesday, 12–13 January 2025. These activities took place in the classroom in a fun and enthusiastic atmosphere. The children appeared excited as they were given the opportunity to express their holiday experiences. On Monday, the children were asked to draw the most memorable moments from their school holidays. The materials used included A4-sized HVS paper and each child’s own crayons. The children were free to express their ideas, such as spending time with their families, playing at home, or visiting certain places. Through this activity, teachers were able to observe the children’s creativity as well as their ability to represent experiences through drawings. The drawing activity aimed to develop several aspects of the children’s growth and development. In terms of physical and motor skills, children practised hand and finger coordination while holding and using crayons. From a cognitive perspective, children learned to recall their holiday experiences and translate them into visual forms. Artistic development was also fostered through their choice of colours and shapes. On Tuesday, the activity continued with storytelling sessions in front of the class based on the drawings they had created. The children were asked to greet the audience, introduce themselves, explain their drawings, share whom they spent their holidays with, and express their feelings. This activity was conducted in turns with guidance from the teacher to help children build confidence. Through the storytelling activity, children’s language development was enhanced as they learned to form sentences and speak in front of others. Social and emotional development was also nurtured, as children learned to wait for their turn, listen to their friends, and confidently express feelings such as happiness, longing, or joy. In addition, moral and religious values were developed through the practice of greeting others and speaking politely. Overall, the drawing and storytelling activities about holidays aimed to stimulate six aspects of children’s development: moral and religious values, physical and motor skills, cognitive abilities, language skills, social and emotional development, and artistic expression. These activities were not only enjoyable but also meaningful, as they supported children’s holistic development through experiences closely related to their everyday lives. By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

On Wednesday, 17 December 2025, TK B Al Siddiq carried out a life skills development activity at the Al Siddiq Field. The activity was enthusiastically attended by all TK B pupils. This life skills programme was designed as part of daily learning to help children become accustomed to carrying out simple activities independently within the school environment. The activity began as part of the school’s daily routine, with the children lining up in an orderly manner, followed by circle time for prayers and a brief discussion with the teacher. After that, the children performed Dhuha prayer together and enjoyed snack time. This initial sequence aimed to prepare the children physically and mentally before moving on to the main activity. The primary objective of this life skills development activity was to foster independence in students from an early age. In addition, the activity aimed to cultivate a sense of responsibility for personal belongings, develop fine motor coordination, build self-confidence, and accustom children to following instructions in sequence. The children also learned to be patient while waiting for their turn and to respect their peers. Before the sandal-washing activity began, the children prepared themselves by rolling up their sleeves to their elbows to prevent them from getting wet. They did this independently by unbuttoning their sleeves, in accordance with the methods previously taught by the teacher. This simple activity served as an important exercise to help children become accustomed to taking care of themselves without always relying on adult assistance. Next, the children put on their sandals and walked to the washing area in front of the sinks. In turns, they wet their sandals with water and then scrubbed them using used toothbrushes brought from home. The teachers accompanied the children and provided guidance to ensure the activity was carried out safely and correctly, while still giving the children the opportunity to try on their own. After the sandals were cleaned, the children placed them in the designated area to dry for a short time. The activity concluded with tidying up the surrounding area and a brief reflection session with the teacher. Through this life skills activity, it is hoped that the TK B Al Siddiq children will become increasingly independent, responsible, and develop positive habits that are beneficial in their daily lives.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

This archery extracurricular activity was introduced as a programme to help children develop body coordination, concentration, and the ability to follow instructions calmly. The activities were designed to be simple and safe, in line with the needs of kindergarten-aged children. The main focus was not on shooting accuracy, but on the learning process and new experiences that help build children’s confidence. The participants were students of TK Al Siddiq. At this stage of growth and development, children are full of curiosity, making archery an engaging and exciting experience for them. Each step of the activity was carried out with close supervision so that the children felt safe and remained enthusiastic throughout the session. The activity took place at the Kempo field, a spacious and secure area suitable for archery practice. This location allowed children to move freely, warm up, and try archery without disrupting other school activities. The open field also helped children recognise space and maintain safe distances. This extracurricular activity was held on 9 December 2025. The schedule was arranged to align with learning activities so that children would not feel tired and could participate in the session in good condition. With a well-organised timetable, teachers, coaches, and students were able to prepare themselves before the activity began. The objectives of this activity relate to the six areas of child development. In terms of gross motor skills, children learned to move their bodies while holding the bow, drawing the string, and releasing the arrow. Fine motor skills were also developed as they adjusted finger positions and grip. From a cognitive perspective, children learned to understand sequences of steps and safety rules. Language development was supported as children listened to instructions and responded to questions from teachers or coaches. Social development was evident when children waited for their turn and worked in groups. Emotional development emerged as children learned to manage feelings of tension or pride after succeeding. Moral development was reflected in children’s obedience to rules and respect for their friends’ turns. The activity was carried out with a clear and structured flow. The teacher began by explaining what activities would be undertaken and the rules that the children needed to understand. After that, the teacher and students walked to the field using a guiding rope to keep the line orderly and easy to supervise. Upon arrival, they greeted the coach and carried out warm-up exercises together. The coach then divided the children into groups according to their classes. The children took turns trying archery, guided directly by the coach to ensure safety and proper direction. In this way, the archery activity not only trained physical skills but also fostered discipline, courage, and teamwork. It provided a new, enjoyable, and beneficial experience that supported children’s holistic development.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd
