Tolerance and Solidarity

Menanamkan Toleransi dan Solidaritas Sejak Dini

Pada Rabu, 15 Mei 2025, Amore Prime School kembali menggelar perayaan Hari Raya Waisak 2569 BE / 2025 M dengan penuh makna. Tak hanya menjadi momentum keagamaan bagi umat Buddha, acara ini juga menjadi sarana pendidikan karakter, khususnya nilai solidaritas dan toleransi antarumat beragama di lingkungan sekolah.

Simbol Persaudaraan Sejati

Perayaan Waisak tahun ini terasa istimewa karena dihadiri oleh tokoh-tokoh agama dari berbagai kepercayaan. Mereka menyampaikan pesan damai dan ucapan selamat kepada umat Buddha yang merayakan.

Tokoh lintas agama yang hadir antara lain:

  • Ustadz Maliki (Islam)
    Mengajak siswa untuk saling menghargai dan menebarkan kebaikan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
  • Pdt. Rudi Darmawan (Kristen)
    Menekankan pentingnya hidup damai sebagai bentuk nyata cinta kasih terhadap sesama.
  • Bapak I.B. Alit Wiratmaja (Hindu)
    Mengajak semua yang hadir untuk melihat perbedaan sebagai kekuatan yang menyatukan.
  • Bhante Jok Kwi (Buddha)
    Menyampaikan pentingnya menjadikan Waisak sebagai momentum introspeksi diri dan memperluas welas asih kepada semua makhluk.

Kehadiran mereka menjadi simbol nyata dari keberagaman yang harmonis dan memperkuat pesan bahwa sekolah adalah tempat terbaik untuk menanamkan nilai toleransi sejak dini.

Kegiatan Fang Shen: Simbol Cinta Kasih kepada Semua Makhluk

Sebagai penutup, seluruh peserta mengikuti kegiatan Fang Shen — pelepasan burung ke alam bebas.

Makna dari kegiatan ini:

  • Simbol pembebasan dan cinta kasih terhadap semua makhluk hidup.
  • Praktik nyata dari ajaran Buddha tentang welas asih dan kepedulian.
  • Mewujudkan visi Amore Prime School dalam membentuk siswa yang peduli, penuh kasih, dan berjiwa sosial.

Fang Shen pun menjadi simbol yang indah dari jembatan hati yang terus dibangun antara anak-anak, orang tua, dan masyarakat di Amore Prime School, sebuah komunitas pendidikan yang
menanamkan toleransi, solidaritas, dan cinta kasih sejak dini.

Fun and Educational Sensory Activity

At Amore Prime School Kindergarten, rice tray writing is one of our favorite hands-on activities to support early literacy and motor development. Using a shallow tray filled with uncooked rice, our young learners practice forming letters, numbers, and simple words with their fingers or small tools.

This simple yet powerful sensory activity makes learning fun and engaging, while also strengthening fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and pre-writing abilities. The gentle texture of the rice adds a calming, tactile experience that encourages exploration and creativity.

Give your child a head start on their learning journey with us at Amore Prime School Kindergarten, where we make early education meaningful, playful, and full of discovery.

Seasons

Teaching Kids About Seasons at Amore Prime School

Teaching kids about seasons at Amore Prime School Kindergarten is a magical adventure! Children learn best through play, so the kindergarten teachers at Amore Prime School incorporate colorful pictures, hands-on activities, and outdoor exploration to help students understand how the world changes throughout the year. We engage our students’ senses and curiosity, allowing them to recognize seasonal patterns in a fun and meaningful way.

While toddlers may not fully grasp the scientific reasons behind the seasons, they quickly notice changes in weather, clothing, and nature. Using simple language, engaging visuals, and relatable examples helps them connect these changes to their daily lives. Through interactive activities like sensory bins, dress-up games, and arts and crafts, our students experience each season in an exciting and memorable way.

For sensory play, we fill containers with items representing different times of the year—such as snow-like jello for winter—so toddlers can explore the textures and colors of each season. This hands-on approach makes learning both fun and interactive.

Dress-up games allow children to try on seasonal clothing, such as raincoats for spring, swimsuits for summer, scarves for fall, and jackets for winter, helping them associate different outfits with various weather conditions. This activity enables kids to connect their everyday experiences to the changing seasons.

Fingerpainting leaves on trees to represent spring, summer, fall, and winter not only reinforces the concept of seasons but also encourages self-expression and fine motor skill development.

Understanding the rhythm of the seasons is a joyful journey of discovery at Amore Prime School Kindergarten!

National Teachers Day

Happy Teachers’ Day!

Teachers play one of the most important roles in our lives. They teach us not just in formal education, but they also teach us about compassion and perseverance through their lessons. Sometimes they would be mad at us, but that is when they showed that they cared for us. We might say that teachers are like our second parents in school.

Teachers day is celebrated as a form of respect and appreciation for dear teachers in all over Indonesia. On that day, Amorians celebrated the National Teacher’s Day after the ceremony. We gave cakes, words, and gifts to show our love. However, the love that we gave is just a little compared to theirs. So how do you want to truly show your love to them? The best appreciations we can give is by taking their lessons seriously!
