On Wednesday and Thursday, 18 and 19 February 2026, pupils of Al Siddiq International Kindergarten carried out online learning through the school’s Learning Management System (LMS). The activities were completed from home by working on and submitting assignments in the form of videos via the LMS platform provided by the school. Although it was the holiday period leading up to the fasting month, the learning process continued in a more flexible and creative manner.
Previously, on Monday, 16 February 2026, the class teacher had informed parents about the online learning plan. The announcement explained in detail the tasks the children were required to complete, along with clear instructions and submission deadlines. Parents were asked to accompany their children during the task preparation process and to assist with recording and uploading the videos to the LMS.
On Wednesday, the children were assigned to create a video message welcoming the month of Ramadan. Through this activity, they learnt to deliver simple sentences confidently while understanding the significance of the arrival of the holy month. Each child recorded their greeting video in their own unique style and expression. Some appeared shy with sweet smiles, while others enthusiastically conveyed their prayers and hopes for Ramadan.
On Thursday, the task continued with the creation of a Ramadan card. The children were encouraged to be creative by designing a Ramadan-themed card using materials available at home. The entire process was recorded on video, starting from preparing the tools and materials, decorating the card, to presenting the final result. After completing their craft, the children also made a simple presentation video to explain their work. This activity helped develop creativity, fine motor skills, and confidence in speaking in front of the camera.
The use of the LMS with a video submission system served several important purposes. Firstly, it ensured that learning activities remained structured despite the pre-Ramadan holiday. Secondly, it nurtured independence and responsibility in completing tasks. Thirdly, it strengthened collaboration between the school and parents in supporting learning at home. Furthermore, the use of the LMS helped both children and parents become more accustomed to using technology in a positive and purposeful way.
Through these activities, the atmosphere of welcoming Ramadan became more meaningful. The children were not merely on holiday; they continued to learn, create, and understand religious values in an enjoyable way. Online learning through the LMS proved to be an effective alternative for maintaining enthusiasm for learning while preparing to welcome the holy month with joyful hearts.
