SD Al Siddiq International held a flannel keychain-making activity on 27 October 2025. The activity was attended by all pupils from Year 1 to Year 6 and took place in their respective classrooms. For this activity, the keychain designs had been prepared in advance by the teachers, so pupils only needed to sew together the pre-cut flannel pieces. The children appeared enthusiastic as they followed the teachers’ instructions, threaded the needle, and stitched the simple patterns until they formed neat keychains ready to take home. Although the designs were predetermined, the activity still offered many benefits for the pupils. Their fine motor skills were developed through the sewing process, which requires strong hand coordination and concentration. In addition, the activity helped nurture patience and attention to detail, as the children had to follow the stitching sequence correctly to achieve tidy results. The pupils’ confidence also grew as they successfully completed their own handmade flannel keychains. The sewing process further trained independence, focus, and the ability to follow instructions effectively. This simple yet meaningful activity provided an enjoyable hands-on learning experience for all pupils at SD Al Siddiq International.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.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

SD Al Siddiq International once again held its Profession Class activity, this time featuring representatives from Pos Indonesia. The event was warmly welcomed by all pupils, as they had the opportunity to learn directly from postal officers about the various services and activities carried out at the post office. The Pos Indonesia team not only provided explanations but also brought an operational postal vehicle to the school grounds. The children were visibly excited to see the inside of the vehicle and to listen to explanations about how letters are collected, sorted, and dispatched to various regions across Indonesia. In addition to gaining new insights, the pupils also practised writing their own personal letters. These letters would be posted using special stamps featuring each child’s photo, making the experience even more unique and memorable. The children looked proud as they placed their personalised stamps onto the envelopes before handing them over to the postal officers. Through this activity, the pupils of SD Al Siddiq International not only gained a closer understanding of the postal profession but also learned about the importance of written communication and the process of sending letters—an experience they rarely encounter firsthand today. The Profession Class activity ran smoothly, joyfully, and meaningfully. The teachers hope that this experience will nurture curiosity and appreciation for the many professions that play an important role in everyday life.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.
