Science learning at Al Siddiq International Primary School is becoming increasingly engaging through the implementation of Project-Based Learning (PjBL). One of the activities carried out is the Interactive Paper Circuit Project, a creative project that enables students to understand the basic concepts of electricity through direct, hands-on learning experiences. In this activity, students create simple electrical circuits using paper, batteries, and LED lights. They learn how electricity flows through a circuit while also developing their creativity by designing and decorating their projects. Through the learning-by-doing approach, students not only gain an understanding of scientific concepts but also learn to identify problems, explore different solutions, and work collaboratively to complete their projects. This PjBL activity also develops a range of essential skills, including critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Every attempt, including discovering and correcting mistakes, becomes a valuable part of the students’ learning experience. Through project-based learning, curiosity develops into discovery, while creative ideas are transformed into tangible and meaningful creations. At Al Siddiq International Primary School, learning is not simply about knowing, but also about trying, creating, and discovering. Learning by creating, thinking by doing.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

After selecting activities based on their individual interests and talents, pupils eagerly took part in a wide range of programmes designed to help them develop their potential beyond the classroom. Extracurricular activities form an essential part of the educational experience at Al Siddiq International Primary School. Through enjoyable and educational programmes, pupils not only enhance their skills but are also encouraged to develop important character traits such as discipline, responsibility, teamwork, sportsmanship, and self-confidence. For the 2026/2027 Academic Year, the school continues to offer a diverse selection of extracurricular activities, including futsal, swimming, creative dance, drawing, karate, Saman dance, and pencak silat. In addition, two new programmes have been introduced to provide even greater opportunities for pupils: archery and hadroh. The introduction of archery is expected to help pupils develop focus, patience, and precision. Meanwhile, the hadroh programme provides an opportunity for pupils to appreciate Islamic musical arts while building their confidence in expressing Islamic values through the recitation of shalawat. All extracurricular activities are led by experienced coaches and instructors, ensuring that every pupil can learn in a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment. With professional guidance, participants are encouraged to nurture their talents while striving for achievements both within the school and in various competitions. These extracurricular programmes also reflect Al Siddiq International Primary School’s commitment to providing a balanced education that integrates academic excellence, character development, practical skills, and Islamic values. Through meaningful learning experiences beyond the classroom, pupils are expected to grow into creative, independent, and morally responsible individuals who are well prepared to meet future challenges. It is hoped that the beginning of the 2026/2027 Academic Year will inspire every pupil to continue learning, creating, and achieving through the extracurricular activities they have chosen. With the support of the school, teachers, coaches, and parents, Al Siddiq International Primary School remains committed to nurturing a generation of outstanding young people who are accomplished, principled, and inspiring.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Science learning becomes far more meaningful when pupils are able to see, touch, and experience the concepts they study firsthand. This was precisely the experience of the Grade 3 pupils at Al Siddiq International Primary School as they took part in a simple science experiment for the topic “Plants are Living Things”. During this activity, the pupils planted mung bean seeds to observe the process of plant growth. With great enthusiasm, they prepared the planting medium, sowed the seeds, and learnt how to care for them so that they could grow healthily. Throughout the experiment, the pupils observed the changes in the mung bean seeds day by day. They discovered that plants are living things because they grow, require water and air to survive, and respond to the environment around them. This practical activity not only enabled the pupils to understand scientific concepts in a more concrete and meaningful way, but also developed their observation skills, critical thinking, and natural curiosity about the world around them. Hands-on learning experiences such as this make science enjoyable while reinforcing the concepts taught in the classroom. Through simple experiments like this, Al Siddiq International Primary School remains committed to providing active, interactive, and meaningful learning experiences. It is hoped that firsthand learning opportunities will inspire pupils to develop a lasting interest in science while fostering a greater appreciation for the environment and the living things that share it.Muslihatul Maula, Lc
