SD Al Siddiq International once again provided students with a creative and meaningful learning experience through its Project Based Learning (PjBL) programme on Thursday, 1 October 2026. Held from 10.00 to 11.00 a.m., the activity gave students the opportunity to learn through direct experience, creativity, teamwork, and simple practical activities connected to everyday life.Project Based Learning is a learning approach that encourages students to become actively involved in completing a project. Through this approach, students do not simply receive theoretical knowledge, but also gain first-hand experience by creating, observing, experimenting, and producing a work or project. As a result, learning becomes more enjoyable while helping students develop a wide range of skills.During this activity, Grades 1–3 took part in a project entitled “Creating a Painting from Clay”. The students were invited to explore their creativity by using clay and transforming it into an engaging work of art. By using clay in different shapes and colours, students were able to express their ideas and imagination through their creations.Creating paintings from clay was an enjoyable experience for the students. They learnt how to shape, arrange, and combine different colours to produce artwork according to their individual creativity. The activity also helped develop their fine motor skills, attention to detail, patience, and ability to follow the stages of a project.Beyond developing creativity, the activity provided students with an opportunity to express themselves. Each piece of artwork had its own unique form and character because it was created based on each student’s individual ideas and imagination. This taught the children that every individual has unique creativity that deserves to be appreciated.Meanwhile, Grades 4 and 6 took part in a “Catfish Farming” project. Through this activity, students were introduced to basic concepts of fish farming and care through practical experiences connected to everyday life. They were able to observe the materials and environment used for fish farming while learning that raising and caring for fish requires attention, careful observation, and responsibility.Through the catfish farming project, students also gained a more contextual learning experience. They were able to understand that the knowledge learnt at school can be applied to real-life situations. The activity also encouraged curiosity about the environment, living things, and the processes involved in caring for and raising animals.The implementation of these two projects demonstrates SD Al Siddiq International’s commitment to providing students with diverse learning experiences. Through Project Based Learning, students are encouraged to become active, creative, independent learners who are able to work collaboratively. They are not only learning to know, but also learning by doing and experiencing.The activities also provided an opportunity for students to develop essential 21st-century skills, including creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, communication, and problem-solving. Through a project-based learning approach, students are expected to build greater confidence while gaining memorable and meaningful learning experiences.With great enthusiasm, the students participated in every stage of the activities and enjoyed the process of learning together. Through experiences such as these, SD Al Siddiq International continues its commitment to providing learning that is active, creative, enjoyable, and relevant to students’ everyday lives.Learning through creating, learning through trying, and learning through real-life experiences.

On Friday, 25 September 2026, SD Al Siddiq International held the STS (Sumative Mid-Term Assessment) Report Card Distribution for Semester 1. The activity took place from 7.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. and served as an important moment in the students’ learning journey. It also provided an opportunity for communication between the school and parents to discuss students’ learning progress and achievements throughout the learning process.The report card distribution was conducted as a means of communicating the results of the learning evaluation carried out during the first half of Semester 1. Through the report cards, parents received information about their children’s academic development, attitudes, skills, and various achievements demonstrated during their learning activities at school.The activity took place in an orderly and warm atmosphere. Parents came to school to receive their children’s evaluation results and gain further information from teachers regarding their individual development. During the meeting, teachers shared various aspects of the students’ learning process, including achievements that had been attained as well as areas that still needed further development.For SD Al Siddiq International, report cards are not merely documents containing academic grades. They are part of the evaluation and reflection process that helps the school, teachers, and parents gain a more comprehensive understanding of each student’s development. Every child has a different learning journey and pace of development, so the evaluation results are expected to serve as a basis for providing guidance according to each student’s individual needs.The report card distribution also provided an opportunity to strengthen collaboration between the school and parents. Effective communication between teachers and parents plays an important role in supporting children’s education. Through continued cooperation, students’ potential and achievements can be further developed, while areas that still need improvement can be supported and addressed together.Beyond evaluation, the report card distribution also encouraged students to reflect on their own learning journey. Every achievement is the result of a process involving effort, discipline, and perseverance. Meanwhile, areas that still need improvement can serve as motivation for students to continue learning, making greater efforts, and growing in their future learning experiences.SD Al Siddiq International remains committed to providing an education that focuses not only on academic achievement, but also on character development and the holistic growth of every student. Therefore, learning evaluation results are expected to become part of a continuous process that helps each student grow into a confident, independent, responsible individual with a strong enthusiasm for learning.With the successful implementation of the STS Semester 1 Report Card Distribution on Friday, 25 September 2026, from 7.30 a.m. to 11.00 a.m., it is hoped that communication between the school and parents will continue to grow stronger. May the evaluation results received serve as both a source of reflection and motivation for students to strengthen their enthusiasm for learning and give their best effort in the next stage of their educational journey.Together, we support, guide, and inspire every child to grow.SD Al Siddiq International — Growing Together, Learning for the Future.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

On Thursday, 24 September 2026, students of SD Al Siddiq International took part in an Education Field Trip to Enchanting Valley. The activity was part of the school’s approach to learning beyond the classroom, providing students with an educational, enjoyable, and meaningful experience. Through this activity, students had the opportunity to learn through direct observation, exploration, interaction, and a variety of activities with their friends and teachers. From the moment they set off, the students looked enthusiastic and full of excitement. Accompanied by their teachers, they travelled in an orderly manner while learning to maintain togetherness, follow instructions, and take responsibility for themselves and their groups. The cheerful atmosphere throughout the journey marked the beginning of an enjoyable learning experience. Upon arriving at Enchanting Valley, the students took part in various activities that had been prepared for them. The programme began with guidance from the teachers, followed by observation and exploration of the surrounding environment. Students were encouraged to pay attention to interesting things around them, develop their curiosity, and learn through real-life experiences. They also had opportunities to interact with their surroundings and engage in discussions with their friends and teachers. In addition to exploration, the students participated in group activities and educational games designed to develop teamwork, communication, concentration, confidence, and the ability to follow instructions. During each activity, students learnt to support one another, respect their friends, share responsibilities, and overcome challenges together. The outdoor activities also allowed students to stay active while enjoying learning in a more relaxed and enjoyable environment. Moments of togetherness were another important part of the experience. Students had the opportunity to play, rest, eat together, chat, and capture memorable moments with their friends and teachers. Through these shared experiences, students learnt to build positive social relationships, become more independent, and understand the importance of maintaining appropriate behaviour and responsibility when outside the school environment. For SD Al Siddiq International, the Education Field Trip is part of the school’s commitment to providing active, meaningful, and enjoyable learning experiences. Learning does not take place only inside the classroom; valuable lessons can also be gained through direct experiences. Activities such as this provide students with opportunities to develop curiosity, creativity, independence, communication, teamwork, and environmental awareness. Through the Education Field Trip to Enchanting Valley, students gained not only an enjoyable experience but also a range of valuable lessons and positive values to take home. The smiles, laughter, enthusiasm, and sense of togetherness throughout the day created wonderful memories in their educational journey. The Education Field Trip on Thursday, 24 September 2026 was a meaningful example of learning at SD Al Siddiq International that combines education, exploration, togetherness, and character development. Hopefully, this experience will inspire students to remain enthusiastic about learning, continue to be curious, have the courage to try new things, and grow into individuals who are independent, confident, responsible, and able to work well with others. Every place can be a classroom, and every experience can be a lesson. SD Al Siddiq International — Learning Beyond the Classroom, Growing Through Experience.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Bekasi, 18 September 2026 — SD Al Siddiq International once again held its Friday Islamic Study Session (Kajian Jumat) as part of its Islamic education and character-building programme. Held during the Halaqah session, the activity took place in the school mosque and was attended by students in an orderly, respectful, and enthusiastic manner. The Friday Islamic Study Session is one of the school’s regular programmes, providing students with continuous opportunities to learn about Islam. Through this activity, students not only gain an understanding of Islamic teachings but are also encouraged to develop positive habits and apply Islamic values in their daily lives. The theme of this Friday’s session was “A Prayer to Make Qur’an Memorisation Easier.” The topic was closely connected to Qur’an learning, which is an important part of education at SD Al Siddiq International. Students were encouraged to understand that the process of memorisation, particularly the memorisation of the Qur’an, requires dedication, discipline, patience, and consistency. During the session, students were introduced to a prayer that can be recited to seek ease in learning and memorisation. The prayer was then recited together by the students. Through this activity, students were encouraged to recognise that every learning process should begin by seeking help and ease from Allah SWT. In addition to learning the prayer, students were also given an understanding of the importance of making sincere efforts in the memorisation process. Prayer should be accompanied by earnest effort, such as regularly reading and revising memorised passages, maintaining concentration, paying attention to recitation, and developing discipline in learning. In this way, students are encouraged to understand that memorisation is a gradual process that requires consistency and perseverance. Holding the activity in the mosque also formed part of the students’ learning about proper manners and etiquette. The children were encouraged to maintain order, quietness, and cleanliness, as well as to respect the mosque as a place of worship and learning. These habits are expected to nurture discipline, responsibility, and care for others, which can be applied not only at school but also in everyday life. The Friday Islamic Study Session during the Halaqah period gave students an opportunity to learn in an environment different from their usual classroom setting. By gathering together in the mosque, students experienced a form of learning that combined knowledge, spirituality, and character development. This reflects SD Al Siddiq International’s commitment to providing an education that is not solely focused on academic achievement but also on developing individuals who are faithful, well-mannered, and deeply connected to the Qur’an. May Allah SWT continue to grant ease, guidance, and blessings in every pursuit of knowledge and make the Qur’an a source of guidance in the lives of all students. May the students of SD Al Siddiq International grow into a Qur’anic generation who are knowledgeable, possess noble character, love the Qur’an, and remain close to Allah SWT. Ameen, ya Rabbal ‘alamin.By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

On Wednesday and Thursday, 16 and 17 September 2026, Year 4A and Year 4B students of SD Al Siddiq International took part in an Art learning activity entitled “How to Make a Pencil Holder from a Used Plastic Bottle.” The activity provided the students with an opportunity to learn creatively while producing a useful piece of artwork. During the activity, the students were encouraged to reuse used plastic bottles and transform them into pencil holders. With guidance from their teacher, the students were first introduced to the materials and the steps involved in making the pencil holders. After receiving the instructions, they began creating their own pencil holders by following the steps while also developing their individual creativity. The learning atmosphere in Year 4A and Year 4B was cheerful and filled with enthusiasm. The students looked excited and happy as they worked on their creations. They enjoyed every stage of the process, from preparing the materials and transforming the plastic bottles to decorating and completing their pencil holders according to their own ideas and imagination. This activity not only developed the students’ artistic skills and creativity but also encouraged attention to detail, independence, patience, and fine motor skills. Each student had the opportunity to express their own ideas, resulting in creations that were different and unique. This made the learning process more engaging and provided the students with an enjoyable learning experience. Furthermore, reusing used plastic bottles in the Art activity also taught students about the importance of protecting the environment and giving reusable materials a second life. The students learnt that used items do not always have to be thrown away; instead, they can be transformed into useful objects through creativity. Through activities like this, SD Al Siddiq International continues to provide active, creative, and meaningful learning experiences. Students do not learn solely through theory but also gain first-hand experience through practical activities. In this way, learning can help develop their creativity while also fostering greater awareness and care for the environment around them. The enthusiasm and happiness shown by the Year 4A and Year 4B students were valuable parts of this learning experience. Hopefully, through Art activities like this, students will become increasingly confident in expressing their creativity, willing to try new things, and able to recognise opportunities to create useful objects from simple materials around them. Keep creating, keep learning, and keep caring for our environment!By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Alhamdulillah, Al Siddiq International Primary School has successfully conducted its Mid-Semester Summative Assessment (Sumatif Tengah Semester or STS) as part of the students’ learning evaluation programme for this semester. The STS is an important opportunity for students to assess their understanding of the various subjects and learning materials they have studied throughout the learning process in the classroom. The STS began on Monday, 7 September 2026. From the first day, students took part in the assessment in an orderly manner and with great dedication. Each student made every effort to demonstrate their best abilities when completing the questions prepared in accordance with the learning materials covered. During the STS period, the assessment schedule was adjusted due to environmental conditions involving volcanic ash. To safeguard the health, safety, and comfort of all students and members of the school community, learning activities on Tuesday, 8 September and Wednesday, 9 September 2026 were conducted through Distance Learning (PJJ). Although learning activities were conducted from home, the students’ enthusiasm for learning remained strong. Students participated in PJJ sessions with their teachers through the learning system prepared by the school. Teachers continued to provide guidance and support, ensuring that the learning process could run effectively while students were studying from home. The adjustment also affected the STS schedule. The STS subjects originally scheduled for Tuesday, 8 September and Wednesday, 9 September were rescheduled to Monday and Tuesday, 14–15 September 2026. This ensured that students continued to have the opportunity to complete the entire STS programme according to the revised schedule. Following the PJJ sessions on 8–9 September, the STS resumed on site at school on Thursday, 10 September and Friday, 11 September 2026. Students returned to school and continued their assessments with enthusiasm. The STS sessions were conducted in an orderly, calm, and conducive atmosphere, allowing students to concentrate fully on completing each assessment. The STS is not only a means of measuring students’ academic achievement but also contributes to their character development. Through the assessment process, students are encouraged to practise honesty, discipline, independence, responsibility, self-confidence, and effective time management. For teachers, the STS results will provide valuable information for evaluating each student’s learning progress. The results can also serve as one of the foundations for determining appropriate follow-up learning activities, enabling the educational process to continue to respond to the needs and development of each student. Meanwhile, the schedule adjustment due to the volcanic ash situation has provided an important learning experience for the entire school community about the importance of prioritising collective health and safety. Through PJJ, the educational process can continue without disregarding environmental conditions or students’ safety. Al Siddiq International Primary School remains committed to providing a safe, comfortable, meaningful, and high-quality learning experience for all students. Whether through face-to-face or Distance Learning, the school continues to strive to ensure that the educational process runs effectively and optimally. May all students of Al Siddiq International Primary School be granted ease, success, good health, and the best possible results throughout the entire Mid-Semester Summative Assessment. May every effort, prayer, and hard work become part of their journey towards achieving even greater success in the future. Keep learning, keep growing, and always do your best! Barakallahu fiikum, students of Al Siddiq International Primary School. Keep up the spirit throughout the STS and stay healthy!By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Al Siddiq International Primary School – Friday, 4 September 2026 Alhamdulillah, on Friday, 4 September 2026, Al Siddiq International Primary School once again held its Clean Up Friday activity under the theme “Clean Classroom, Ready for STS!” The activity formed part of the school’s positive daily routines aimed at developing students’ awareness of the importance of maintaining cleanliness, tidiness, and comfort within the school environment. On this occasion, Clean Up Friday also provided an opportunity for students to prepare their classrooms so that they would be clean, comfortable, and ready for the upcoming Sumatif Tengah Semester (STS). Classroom cleanliness is not simply about making a room look clean. It is also an important part of character education. Through this activity, students were encouraged to understand that maintaining cleanliness is a shared responsibility. Every student has a role to play in creating a healthy, comfortable, orderly, and enjoyable learning environment. Cleaning and Organising the Classroom During Clean Up Friday, students worked together with their teachers to clean and organise their classrooms. Tasks were divided among the students, allowing everyone to participate actively. Some of the activities included: Students cleaned their individual desks by wiping and organising them to remove dust, dirt, and unnecessary items. Clean and tidy desks can help students feel more comfortable when learning and completing their STS assessments. Textbooks and various classroom materials were reorganised neatly. Students learnt to return each item to its proper place, helping to keep the classroom organised and free from clutter. The whiteboard was also given attention. Students cleaned it so that it would remain tidy and ready to be used for learning activities after the STS. Students worked together to sweep the classroom floor, ensuring that there was no dust or rubbish left behind. A clean floor is an important part of creating a healthy and comfortable classroom. The rubbish collected during the activity was taken to the designated disposal area. Students were also reminded to make a habit of putting rubbish in the proper bins and not leaving waste inside or around the classroom. Keeping the Classroom Neat and Ready for STS Once all the cleaning activities were completed, students checked the classroom once again to make sure that every corner was clean, learning materials were properly organised, desks and chairs were arranged neatly, and the classroom was ready for the STS. Learning Responsibility Through Cleanliness Clean Up Friday provided students with a simple yet meaningful learning experience. They were not merely cleaning their classrooms; they were also learning about responsibility and teamwork. As students worked together to clean the classroom, they learnt that a comfortable environment does not happen by itself. It requires care and contribution from every individual. In this way, cleaning activities can help students become more independent and responsible for the environment around them. Students also learnt to complete assigned tasks, help their friends, take care of classroom facilities, and appreciate the results of their collective efforts. These small habits are expected to grow into positive character traits that students can apply in their everyday lives. Preparing a Comfortable Environment for STS In addition to being a regular activity for maintaining cleanliness, this week’s Clean Up Friday had special significance as it took place shortly before the Sumatif Tengah Semester (STS). A clean, tidy, and comfortable classroom can help create a more conducive atmosphere for students during their STS. With desks and chairs properly arranged, a clean whiteboard, organised classroom materials, and a clean floor, students can take part in their assessments more comfortably and remain focused. Preparing for the STS is not only about academic readiness. The learning environment is also an important part of the preparation. Therefore, through this activity, students were encouraged to take an active role in preparing their own classrooms. With the spirit of “Clean Classroom, Ready for STS!”, the students demonstrated that preparation for learning assessments can begin with simple things, including keeping their learning environment clean and organised. Building Good Habits Al Siddiq International Primary School continues to foster positive habits among students through activities that are closely connected to their everyday lives. One of these is developing the habit of maintaining cleanliness within the school environment. Clean Up Friday is expected to be more than simply an activity carried out on Fridays. More importantly, it aims to develop students’ awareness that cleanliness is a habit that should be practised every day. Students are encouraged to apply these habits in the classroom, throughout the school environment, and at home. This can begin with simple actions such as tidying their desks after use, returning books to their proper places, putting rubbish in the bin, and taking care of the facilities and belongings around them. Through consistent practice, values such as cleanliness, discipline, independence, responsibility, and teamwork can gradually become an integral part of students’ character. Clean Classroom, Happy Learning! The Clean Up Friday activity on Friday, 4 September 2026, was carried out with great enthusiasm and a strong sense of togetherness. Students showed excitement as they cleaned and organised their respective classrooms. Once the activity was completed, the classrooms were cleaner, tidier, and ready for use. The students’ smiles and enthusiasm added to the positive atmosphere created after completing their tasks together. May this activity help students understand that maintaining a clean classroom is a shared responsibility and that a comfortable learning environment can support a better learning experience. With their classrooms cleaned and prepared, the students are now ready to welcome the Sumatif Tengah Semester (STS) with enthusiasm, preparation, and confidence. Clean classroom, happy learning, and ready for STS! May all students of Al Siddiq International Primary School be granted ease, success, and the best possible results throughout the STS. Aamiin.

Alhamdulillah, Al Siddiq International Primary School continues to demonstrate its commitment to improving the quality of education through the professional development of its educators. One of these efforts was demonstrated through the participation of teachers in the Training, Certification & Standardisation of Qur’an Teachers (Muallim Al-Qur’an) in Bekasi City. The training was held on Saturday, 5 September 2026, at Universitas Muhammadiyah Indonesia Bekasi. Four teachers from Al Siddiq International Primary School took part in the programme: Ust. Dede, Ust. Asep, Ustadzah Fanni, and Ustadzah Amrina. The teachers’ participation in this programme formed part of Al Siddiq International Primary School’s ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and professionalism of its educators, particularly in the field of Qur’anic education. As an important component of education at the school, Qur’anic learning requires teachers who are not only capable of delivering lessons, but who also possess the appropriate competence, understanding, and teaching methods to guide students effectively. The Training, Certification & Standardisation of Qur’an Teachers (Muallim Al-Qur’an) in Bekasi City provided the teachers with an opportunity to continue learning and developing their abilities. Through the programme, participants were able to broaden their knowledge and strengthen their readiness to fulfil their role as muallim who guide and accompany students in learning the Qur’an. For Al Siddiq International Primary School, enhancing teacher competence is an integral part of its efforts to improve the overall quality of education. Teachers interact directly with students every day; therefore, the quality and competence of educators have a significant influence on the quality of the learning experiences received by students. This is particularly important in Qur’anic education, where teachers play a significant role in developing students’ habits and love for the Qur’an. Teachers are not merely instructors, but also role models in attitude, discipline, perseverance, and devotion to the Qur’an. Through participation in this certification and standardisation programme, the teachers of Al Siddiq International Primary School are expected to gain new knowledge and valuable experiences that can be applied in classroom learning. As a result, Qur’anic learning at the school can continue to become more structured, effective, engaging, and responsive to students’ needs. Beyond the individual benefits for teachers, professional development programmes such as this are also expected to have a positive impact on the wider school community. The knowledge and experience gained can serve as a foundation for continued evaluation and improvement of the Qur’anic learning programmes at Al Siddiq International Primary School. A commitment to lifelong learning is also an important part of the school’s efforts to provide the best possible education for its students. The field of education continues to develop, requiring educators to continually enhance their knowledge and skills. Similarly, Qur’anic education requires a continuous commitment to improving the quality of learning so that students can receive the best possible educational experience. The participation of Ust. Dede, Ust. Asep, Ustadzah Fanni, and Ustadzah Amrina in this programme is expected to become a positive step towards strengthening the quality of Qur’anic education at Al Siddiq International Primary School. May the knowledge they have gained be shared, developed, and put into practice in the process of educating and guiding students. More broadly, the programme is expected to support the school’s aspiration to nurture a generation that is not only academically successful, but also possesses good character, strong Islamic values, and a close relationship with and deep love for the Qur’an. Qur’anic education is not simply about the ability to read verse after verse. It is also about nurturing the values of the Qur’an within students so that these values are reflected in their attitudes and everyday lives. Achieving this requires educators who possess both professional competence and exemplary character. Al Siddiq International Primary School will continue to support positive professional development opportunities that enhance the capacity and quality of its teachers. With educators who continue to learn and grow, the school hopes to further improve the quality of educational services provided to its students. Jazakumullahu khairan to Ust. Dede, Ust. Asep, Ustadzah Fanni, and Ustadzah Amrina for their enthusiasm and dedication in participating in the Training, Certification & Standardisation of Qur’an Teachers (Muallim Al-Qur’an) in Bekasi City. May every piece of knowledge they acquire become beneficial knowledge, every step taken in the pursuit of knowledge become an act of goodness, and every lesson taught to students become Sadaqah Jariyah, a continuous charity whose reward continues to flow. May Allah SWT always grant ease and guidance to all teachers at Al Siddiq International Primary School as they fulfil their trust and responsibility to educate, guide, and accompany students in becoming a generation that is knowledgeable, well-mannered, and deeply connected to the Qur’an. Keep learning, keep growing, and keep making a difference through the Qur’an. 📖 Al Siddiq International Primary SchoolBuilding Knowledge, Character, and a Qur’anic Generation.By By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Al Siddiq International Primary School once again provided students with a unique and engaging learning experience through a Profession Class entitled “The World of Snakes and How to Handle Them”, held on Friday, 28 August 2026. Taking place from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. (WIB), the activity gave students the opportunity to learn more about the world of snakes while gaining valuable knowledge about how to respond to and handle encounters with snakes safely. The Profession Class is one of the school’s learning initiatives that gives students opportunities to gain first-hand insights from the real world. Through activities such as this, students do not learn solely from textbooks and classroom lessons, but also gain new perspectives through topics that are closely connected to their everyday lives. Exploring the World of Snakes Snakes are animals that can be encountered in a variety of environments. However, for some children, encountering a snake can still be frightening and raise many questions. Through the theme “The World of Snakes and How to Handle Them”, students were encouraged to learn about snakes from a more educational perspective. They discovered that snakes are an important part of the ecosystem and play a role in maintaining environmental balance. The activity also gave students the opportunity to learn about the characteristics of snakes, understand their behaviour, and discover what to do if they encounter a snake in their surroundings. With the right knowledge, students are expected to remain calm and avoid actions that could potentially put themselves or the animal at risk. Learning How to Respond to Snakes Safely One of the key elements of this Profession Class was helping students understand how to respond safely when encountering a snake. Students were introduced to basic safety principles when coming across a snake. They learnt that safety should always be the top priority and that snakes should never be approached or handled carelessly. This knowledge is particularly important because children need to understand how to behave when encountering animals that may pose a potential danger. With proper guidance, students can recognise appropriate actions and avoid risky behaviour. Through an educational and enjoyable approach, students learnt that curiosity about animals should always be accompanied by caution, knowledge, and a sense of responsibility. Learning Through Real-World Experiences The Profession Class offered students a different kind of learning experience. The fascinating topic encouraged them to explore their curiosity and ask a variety of questions. Activities such as this also help students connect what they learn at school with their everyday lives. They can see that the knowledge gained through education has practical value when dealing with different situations in their surroundings. In addition to broadening their knowledge about snakes, the activity also helped develop students’ courage and self-confidence. They learnt to approach something they might previously have considered frightening in a calmer and more informed way. Friday Sharing: Sharing Food with Friends Following the Profession Class, Friday activities at Al Siddiq International Primary School continued with the warm and meaningful Friday Sharing programme. As part of this activity, students were encouraged to bring food from home to share and enjoy with their classmates. The variety of food brought by the students created a joyful opportunity for everyone to spend time together. Friday Sharing is more than simply eating together. Behind this simple activity are important values that the school seeks to nurture in its students: sharing, caring, gratitude, and appreciation for togetherness. Students learnt that happiness can be found when we are willing to share with others. The food brought from home became a simple way for them to practise giving to their friends and enjoying meaningful moments together without differences or distinctions. Through activities such as these, Al Siddiq International Primary School continues to create learning experiences that are fun, safe, meaningful, and memorable for all students. It is hoped that this Profession Class will broaden students’ understanding of the world of snakes, raise awareness of the importance of safety, and encourage them to face new experiences with confidence and appropriate knowledge. Meanwhile, through Friday Sharing, students are encouraged to become increasingly accustomed to sharing, caring for others, and expressing gratitude for the blessings they have. Learning about nature, learning to stay safe, and learning to share with others — this is the spirit of Friday at Al Siddiq International Primary School.By By Muslihatul Maula, Lc

Al Siddiq International Primary School once again held a lively celebration commemorating the Maulid of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This year’s celebration was not only an opportunity to remember the birth of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), but was also enriched with a variety of educational and inspiring activities that actively involved the students. One of the highlights of the Maulid celebration was a series of Islamic competitions. These activities were designed to provide students with enjoyable learning experiences while nurturing their love for the Holy Qur’an, worship, and the noble values taught by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). Through these competitions, students were given the opportunity to demonstrate their abilities, courage, creativity, and understanding of various aspects of Islamic teachings. The participants took part enthusiastically in competitions covering the Qur’an, worship, Adhan, Islamic knowledge, and creative activities. Strengthening Love for the Holy Qur’an One of the main focuses of this year’s Maulid activities was to strengthen students’ love and connection with the Holy Qur’an. This was encouraged through the Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ) and Musabaqah Hifzhil Qur’an (MHQ) competitions. The MTQ & MHQ Akhwat competitions were held in Classroom 1C, whilst the MTQ & MHQ Ikhwan categories took place in Classroom 1D. The participants demonstrated their best abilities in reciting and memorising verses from the Holy Qur’an. These activities were not merely competitions, but also provided an opportunity to appreciate students who have made consistent efforts to maintain their connection with the Qur’an. Through MTQ and MHQ, students were encouraged to continue improving their Qur’anic recitation and gradually increasing their memorisation. In addition to MTQ and MHQ, the Nuroniyyah Akhwat & Ikhwan Competition was held in Classroom 2B. This competition formed part of the school’s efforts to strengthen students’ foundational Qur’anic reading skills and establish a strong foundation for Qur’anic learning from an early age. Learning and Practising Worship The Maulid celebration also provided an opportunity for students to strengthen their understanding and practice of Islamic worship in their daily lives. This was demonstrated through the Adhan Competition for Ikhwan, held in Classroom 1A. The participants demonstrated their ability to deliver the Adhan with appropriate vocal delivery, pronunciation, and posture. In addition to the Adhan competition, students’ ability to perform worship correctly was assessed through the Congregational Prayer Competition. The Ikhwan participants took part on the first floor of the mosque, whilst the Akhwat participants competed on the second floor. Through this activity, students not only learnt the correct procedures for performing prayer but also developed an understanding of the importance of discipline, order, devotion, and togetherness in worship. There were also Wudhu Competitions, with the Ikhwan category held at the first-floor ablution area and the Akhwat category at the second-floor ablution area. Participants demonstrated their ability to perform wudhu correctly and in the proper order. Practical activities such as these help students understand that Islamic teachings should not only be studied theoretically in the classroom but also practised consistently in everyday life. Developing Courage and Creativity The Maulid celebration at Al Siddiq International Primary School was not limited to competitions directly related to worship. The school also provided opportunities for students to develop their communication skills, creativity, and thinking abilities through a variety of activities. One of these was the Poetry Competition for Akhwat, held in the school library. Through this competition, students were encouraged to express their feelings, ideas, and love for Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) through creative performances and poetry. Students’ thinking skills and Islamic knowledge were also developed through the Quiz Competition, held in Classrooms 3C and 3D. Participants were challenged to answer a range of questions quickly and accurately. In addition to expanding their knowledge, the activity developed concentration, confidence, teamwork, and decision-making skills. For Years 3, 4, and 6, a Crossword Puzzle Competition was held in Classroom 1B. The activity was presented in a fun and engaging way, allowing students to learn and play whilst developing their thinking skills and knowledge. Meanwhile, Years 1 and 2 students had the opportunity to express their creativity through a Colouring Competition held in Classroom 2A. With great imagination and enthusiasm, the participants expressed their creativity through colours and artwork. More Than Just a Competition The wide range of competitions organised as part of the Maulid celebration had a broader purpose than simply determining winners. Each activity was designed as part of the school’s character education programme. Students learnt to be courageous, confident, disciplined, cooperative, respectful towards their peers, gracious in accepting results, and committed to good sportsmanship. For students who achieved winning positions, the awards served as recognition of their efforts and abilities. However, for every participant, having the courage to take part and perform in front of others was itself an achievement worthy of appreciation. These values are closely aligned with the teachings and exemplary character of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The Maulid celebration is intended to go beyond a ceremonial occasion and become a meaningful opportunity to instil noble character and the exemplary values of the Prophet into students’ daily lives. The event also reflects Al Siddiq International Primary School’s commitment to developing an educational environment that does not focus solely on academic achievement, but also places strong emphasis on character development and Islamic values. Through activities such as these, the school hopes that its students will grow into a generation that loves the Holy Qur’an, is devoted to worship, has the confidence to develop their potential, and demonstrates noble character inspired by the example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).By Muslihatul Maula, Lc
