Ahead of their upcoming field trip to Cimory Dairyland Riverside, the pupils of TK Al-Siddiq International took part in an educational activity about Do’s and Don’ts on Monday, 2 November 2026. The activity was conducted in each classroom with their respective class teachers. Through this activity, the children were encouraged to understand what they should and should not do during the field trip, ensuring that their learning experience outside school would be safe, well-organised and enjoyable.
The activity began with the teachers informing the children that, in two days’ time, they would be going on a field trip with their friends and teachers. Upon hearing the exciting news, the children appeared enthusiastic and eager as they imagined the adventure ahead. The teachers then invited them to discuss the activities they would be taking part in and explained the importance of following rules when outside the school environment.
Next, the teachers introduced the concept of Do’s and Don’ts, explaining what children should and should not do during the field trip. Examples of appropriate behaviour included listening to the teachers’ instructions, staying with the group, keeping the surroundings clean, queuing patiently and treating the animals they encountered with kindness. Meanwhile, behaviours to avoid included running around without supervision, wandering away from the group, littering, shouting excessively, and disturbing or hurting animals.
After listening to the explanations, the children were invited to express their understanding through a drawing activity. Each child was asked to choose one of the behaviours explained by the teacher, either from the Do’s or Don’ts category. Through this activity, the children could creatively express what they had learnt whilst reinforcing their understanding of the rules they needed to follow during the field trip.
The excitement continued as each child was given the opportunity to present and explain their drawing in front of the class. They described their artwork and explained whether the behaviour illustrated was something they should do (Do’s) or should not do (Don’ts). After completing their presentations, they placed their drawings on the whiteboard under the appropriate category. This activity provided the children with an opportunity to practise speaking in front of their classmates, express their opinions and learn to classify different behaviours according to the rules they had discussed.
Through this educational activity, the children were not only prepared for their upcoming field trip but were also encouraged to develop discipline, independence, responsibility and care for their surroundings. They learnt that following rules is not simply an obligation, but also an important way to protect their own safety and that of others. Furthermore, the drawing and simple presentation activities helped develop their creativity, language skills and self-confidence.
Through this preparation, all pupils of TK Al-Siddiq International are expected to be better prepared for their field trip and understand how to behave appropriately in public places. This simple preparation marks the first step towards creating a safe, well-organised and memorable learning experience beyond the classroom.
Because every wonderful experience begins with good preparation!
