The Kindergarten B pupils of Al Siddiq International took part in a four-day Project-Based Learning (PJBL) activity themed Solar System, held from Monday to Thursday, 20–23 October 2025. The activity took place in each classroom under the guidance of their homeroom teachers. Through this project, the children were encouraged to learn about the solar system in a creative and enjoyable way, while also developing their motor skills, teamwork, and confidence in presenting their work. The main goal of this activity was to introduce the basic concept of the solar system to young learners, while also nurturing their creativity and understanding through hands-on experiences. The children not only learnt the names and order of the planets, but also explored their relative sizes, colours, and orbital positions within the solar system. The project was designed to spark curiosity and inspire a sense of exploration in science and the universe. On Monday, the children began by creating planet shapes from crumpled recycled paper, moulding them according to each planet’s size. For example, Jupiter was made the largest, while Mercury was the smallest. This activity aimed to help them understand planetary size differences in a concrete way, rather than only through pictures. On Tuesday, the children painted their planets using acrylic paints. The colours were chosen based on examples provided by the teachers — red for Mars, bluish-green for Earth, and golden yellow for Saturn. The children were very enthusiastic in choosing colours and paying attention to details to make their planets look as realistic as possible. Wednesday’s session focused on making the sun and the planetary orbits. The children painted a bright, cheerful sun, then drew circular orbits where the planets would later be placed. Thursday marked the highlight of the project, when the children attached their planets to the orbits using glue guns, assisted by the teachers. Afterwards, each child had the opportunity to briefly present their artwork in front of their classmates. The PJBL Solar System activity became a fun and meaningful learning experience for the children. They gained valuable lessons not only about the solar system but also about cooperation, creativity, and confidence in expressing themselves. Through project-based learning like this, the pupils’ enthusiasm for learning grows naturally, filled with curiosity and joy for discovery.By Inka Amalia, S.Pd

SD Al Siddiq International held the Tasmi’ and Munaqosyah Al-Qur’an activities as part of its tahfidz (Qur’an memorisation) development programme, which is one of the school’s flagship initiatives. This activity serves as a form of spiritual guidance aimed at fostering students’ enthusiasm in preserving, memorising, and reciting the Qur’an properly and beautifully. During the Tasmi’ and Munaqosyah sessions, students had the opportunity to present their memorisation in front of tahfidz teachers, classmates, and parents who attended to offer their support. This moment became both a test and an evaluation of the students’ Qur’an memorisation progress. A solemn and emotional atmosphere filled the room as the students confidently and passionately recited verses from the Holy Qur’an. Through this activity, the school aims to instil the values of consistency, discipline, and love for the Qur’an from an early age. The focus is not only on memorisation skills but also on understanding and practising the teachings of the Qur’an in daily life. With the patient and dedicated guidance of the tahfidz teachers, SD Al Siddiq International remains committed to nurturing a Qur’anic generation with noble character, intelligence, and strong Islamic values. This activity also represents an essential part of the school’s efforts to create a learning environment that excels not only academically but also in strengthening faith and piety.By: Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

Al Siddiq International Primary School carried out its accreditation visitation on Monday and Tuesday, 13–14 October 2025, following an official summons issued by BAN PDM (the National Accreditation Board for Primary and Secondary Education). The school received the call for the accreditation process in September 2025. Upon receiving the notification, the school promptly responded by forming an internal accreditation team and completing the accreditation instruments through the Sispena system. During the preparation stage, the school team worked diligently to compile and complete all necessary data and supporting documents that serve as the basis for accreditation assessment. These documents included the main Kurikulum Satuan Pendidikan (KSP – School Curriculum Document), the Annual Work Plan (RKT), the School Activity and Budget Plan (RKAS), the annual academic calendar, examples of lesson plans, photos or videos of the learning environment, and 14 points of DKA (Accreditation Performance Data), which cover various aspects of school performance. The data entry was carried out thoroughly and carefully to ensure all assessment components were presented comprehensively and accurately. Once the documents were verified and declared ready by BAN PDM, the school received an official notice confirming the visitation schedule for 13–14 October 2025. The accreditation visitation involved two assessors from BAN PDM: Mr Lukman Nurhakim, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Mrs Lilis Sumarni, S.Pd., M.Pd. In addition, the event was also attended by Mr M. Bambang Saryono, M.Pd., and Mr M. Eko Agustin, S.S., who represented the Bekasi City Education Office as supervisors and mentors. The first day began with a presentation of the school profile by the management team, outlining the school’s vision and mission, flagship programmes, achievements, and quality development strategies that have been implemented. Following this, the assessors listened to the school’s performance presentation and conducted discussion and confirmation sessions to explore the implementation of various programmes in greater depth. The agenda continued with teacher interviews to assess their understanding of learning implementation, interviews with parents to gather their perspectives on educational services, and classroom observations to review the learning process. The assessors also conducted a school environment inspection to ensure that facilities and infrastructure met accreditation standards. On the second day, the visitation focused on an in-depth interview with the Head of School, discussing leadership, school management strategies, learning innovations, and future development plans. The assessors also interviewed students to hear first-hand about their learning experiences. To conclude the process, the assessors presented their preliminary findings to the school. During this session, they expressed appreciation for the school’s positive achievements and provided recommendations for further strengthening the quality of educational services. The BAN PDM accreditation visitation was not merely an administrative evaluation but also an important opportunity for the school to conduct comprehensive evaluation, reflection, and quality improvement. Al Siddiq International Primary School approached this process with a spirit of collaboration, involving all stakeholders—teachers, staff, students, and parents alike. Through the smooth and well-organised two-day visitation, the school hopes to achieve an optimal accreditation result while continuing to advance its mission of delivering high-quality, Islamic, and globally competitive education.By Yundara Ulfa Priatna, M.Pd.

This positive school tradition took place on Friday, 3 October 2025, with the aim of instilling the spirit of sharing, social awareness, and gratitude among students. In this Friday Sharing event, each student brought food from home to share with their classmates and other members of the school community. From early morning, the school atmosphere was lively and filled with joy. The children exchanged food, visited other classes, and shared with teachers and school staff. This moment became a valuable experience in strengthening the sense of togetherness within the school environment.

For some students, it was also an opportunity to express creativity in preparing their meals and to build confidence in interacting with different members of the school community. Teachers attentively accompanied the students throughout the activity, ensuring it ran smoothly, safely, and meaningfully. They also reminded the children that sharing is not only about material things, but also about sincerity and empathy towards others.

All teachers at Al Siddiq International Primary School have participated in completing the Learning Environment Survey (Sulingjar) as part of the implementation of the National Assessment (AN) organised by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology. This activity aims to obtain a comprehensive overview of the learning environment, school culture, and the support provided to students in the learning process. The Learning Environment Survey serves as an important instrument for assessing the educational climate within the school. Through this survey, teachers provide responses based on their real experiences in their respective workplaces, covering aspects such as leadership, teaching practices, and the well-being and engagement of the school community.
