Year 3

1. Perayaan Hari Ulang Tahun Kemerdakaan RI

Kami sangat bersemangat saat mengikuti perayaan hari ulang tahun kemerdakaan Indonesia di sekolah. Kami memilih lagu Manuk Dadali yang berasal dari Jawa Barat (Sunda) untuk ditampilkan di kegiatan ‘Primary Assembly’ sekolah. Kami merasa sangat bangga saat menyanyikan lagu ini karena Manuk Dadali menceritakan tentang karakteristik burung garuda yang merupakan lambang negara Indonesia. Guru kami menjanjikan bila kami dapat menampilkan pertunjukkan menyanyi dan menari dengan baik maka kami akan mendapatkan 100 poin setiap anak untuk ‘house’ kami.

Setelah kegiatan assembly, kami mendengarkan penjelasan dan berdiskusi tentang hal yang berkaitan dengan peristiwa kemerdekaan Indonesia. Kami mendengarkan dengan saksama pada saat itu. Kemudian, kami melakukan permainan Kahoot yang berkaitan dengan peristiwa kemerdekaan tersebut. Guru kami menyediakan 12 pertanyaan yag harus kami jawab dengan cepat dan tepat. Kami sangat berantusias untuk dapat menjawab pertanyaan, saat melakukan permainan ini. Menang atau kalah, tidak masalah bagi kami. Yang terpenting kami mendapatkan pengetahuan tentang sejarah kemerdekaan bangsa ini.

2. Guest Speaker

Year 3 was given the opportunity to have Ibu Windy as a guest speaker. Ibu Windy explained the importance of being socially aware through an interactive presentation. We learned that the needs and the perspective of other people are equally important. The objectives of the presentation covered:

• Identification of social cues to determine how others feel.

• Demonstration of empathy and compassion.

During this activity teachers were tasked with demonstrating various complex emotions. In this activity, we learned that it was important to know other feelings. We learned that we sometimes have different perspectives when identifying other emotions. To identify emotions in others, we needed cluse such as facial expressions, gestures, body language or movements. By identifying other people's feelings, we can help others to solve conflicts or problems. At the end of this activity, we watched a movie called “Umbrella”. From the movie, we learned that emotions often come from individual past life experiences. Sometimes these emotions are carried through to adulthood. This movie taught us how to show sympathy and empathy.

Thank you so much, Ibu Windy!

It was a wonderful learning experience for us! We would also like to thank Ibu Redy and Ibu Reni for joining us.
